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.

hi which software do you use?
I'm currently working as an intern on construction site, this really helped me understand the raft foundation which is used on the site, many thanks!
Saw so many videos. But you explained it in the easiest way Thank you
Excellent Presentation! Clarity, and Great Graphics! Sincere thanks!
Good one🎉
This is great! Thank you very much.
Well explained. Thanks
Very well explained thank you so much
Thank you for you video! It's really helpful, keep on doing it:)
very good vids,,shabash👌
Excellent 👍
Keep it up...
Thank you @Structures Explained for the video, would you mind letting me know what software you used for the Animation? it's really cool
Very clear explanation. Thanks!

very nice
Thanks !
Nice video sir. Please what software do you use? As I am also making videos about Civil Engineering. I will.try to implement this method of teaching. Please what software?
Very good film. I have a question how do you design a mat foundation on the pile ? How does it work this kind of slab ?
Thank you..
Here we are providing 50d lap length in tension zone and 40d in compression zone on my project. I want to know about tensile and compression zone specially in raft please.
Nice ,I love it.. But please can you do a clearer animated video ,of the placement of additional second layer of reinforcement ,in a raft foundation
Way of explanation and visual is super sir

With good design foundation we could apply green house advance green house agriculture teleporting food and supply , remote sensing using MAD, and counter seimic wave resonance prevent earthquake and also survive flooding
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.
Is there any thumb rule to decide whether what depth to consider for raft?

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.

This foundation mainly what kind of soil we can use.. I mean indication in what type of area or land

Engineer also told pillar foundation, soil codition moderate.. Which is more stronger and durable
Best sir . Plz tell me about drop or step in 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. :)

Decent video. I just hoped it would touch on the reinforcing of the beams

Hello Tshepo, you can find beam reinforcement explanation in this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/i4J-s9ikicacYKg.html
0:59 column load are unequaly distributed what does that mean..??

Hi, that means some columns are loaded heavily than others
4:00 if the above columns are of steel the lap reinforcement is not needed ???what you mean by that????

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.

@@StructuresExplained you mean if upper colum is type of steel I beam type or not concrete type then we dont need lapping bars and we only need below concrete column for pedestal.?????

That is correct
You mention of shear reinforcement around column is nothing but beam connecting all the other column or something else.. someone explain

Hi Mohamed, the shear links or studs mentioned in the video are not of beam. For this video, column is directly resting on raft.

Depends on design, if required raft can also have beams connecting column to column.

Thank you for your feedback.
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 ?
