An Experimental Study of the Piled Raft Foundation Subjected to Combined Vertical and Lateral Load
1-g experimental tests have been carried out to investigate the behavior of piled raft foundation subjected to combined vertical and lateral load. The vertical load was applied till a constant settlement of test models and it was followed by the horizontal incremental load. The piled raft models including a single pile, unpiled raft, and pile group models had been tested on cohesionless soil. The pile configurations of 2 × 2 and 3 × 3 with a constant spacing of 3.5 times diameter of a pile and constant pile length of 25 times diameter of a pile were adopted for the piled raft models in this study. The raft-soil contact was an important factor to reduce the horizontal displacement of the piled raft. There was a significant reduction found in the horizontal displacement of the piled raft foundation due to the presence of the vertical load. At an assumed horizontal load of 100 N, there was about 3.75–5.33 times reduction in the horizontal displacement of adopted piled raft models in the presence of vertical load till 10 mm settlement.
