Experimental Investigation into the Behavior of Piled-Footing in Clayey Soil
This paper presents the comparative results of the investigation is of the various affecting parameters of the proposed pile foundations like L/D ratio, length of piles & number of piles. These parameters are studied for straight, bored concrete piles of 50 mm diameter. The corresponding settlements for various pile footing models were investigated. The load-settlement observations are presented in the form of tables & graphs. The experimental results of the piled footing model cases are compared by carrying out theoretical analysis by means of Computer Programming. The load-settlement curves of the investigation, reveals the nature of the various piled footing model cases. The settlements of piled footings are much lesser than unpiled footing. By increasing the L/D ratio & number of piles below the footing; settlement reduces, thus proving the Piled footing as an efficient foundation system.
