Sven Hansbo Lecture: Deep foundation design - Issues, procedures and inadequacies
This paper reviews the key issues that must be addressed in the design of deep foundations, especially for support of high-rise buildings. Common design criteria are then set out, and a three-stage design process is outlined. The importance of geotechnical site characterization is emphasised. Some of the available design tools are discussed, together with their limitations, and a comparison is made of analysis results from four different programs. Finally, some perceived inadequacies of common design procedures are discussed, including: ignoring foundation interactions, assuming a rigid raft, oversimplification of the ground profile, ignoring external ground movements, and ignoring kinematic seismic effects. Examples of the consequences of these inadequate procedures are illustrated via relevant case histories.
