Raft Foundation Explained

In this video we will be learning about Raft foundations, also known as Mat foundations via 3D animation. They are a type of shallow foundations. Types of Raft foundation will be shown which are concrete raft with drops, raft with beams / ribs and raft with piles.
In the later part we will see reinforcement detailing in raft foundation. It will cover the top and bottom mesh, punching shear reinforcement in the form of shear links or shear studs, additional reinforcement, column stirrups and vertical reinforcement.

    Where would you consider a raft foundation with shallow (3'ft) column footings? I have some loamy acreage that does not experience frost EVER but some pretty good down pours periodically.

  • @StructuresExplained

    @StructuresExplained

    3 жыл бұрын

    No, it depends on various factors like concrete strength used, column/wall load, soil properties, water uplift, reinforcement provided, punching shear, etc. In short, analysis is required to find depth of raft.

    Hi Ajaz, drop below the columns resist the punching shear in the raft. Due to increased thickness locally, column will not punch inside raft. Additionally, drop increases positive moment capacity of the raft locally, whic means raft can take higher moments below the column. Hope this helps. :)

    Hi Ali, in the video columns are of concrete and some part of reinforcement is left for lapping upper construction of columns. If the columns were of steel, there is no reinforcement and just a pedestal will be required at base.

    Do the piles below have to be in alignment with the columns ? Or can they be placed with equal spacing even if it doesn't align with the column placement ?
