In the piled raft described in Problems 14.2 and 14.3, the ultimate load carrying capacity of the piles is estimated as 500 MN. What would be the total load on the piled raft when the piles are at their full capacity? What would be the settlement?

Problem 14.2 & 14.3

In a piled raft, 450 mm diameter and 13 m long piles are placed in a rectangular grid at 1.60 m × 1.63 m spacing. Find the pile-raft interaction factor α_rp, assuming uniform soil conditions with depth and µ_s = 0.1
