Need advise on Raft Foundation
Need advise on Raft Foundation
(OP)
Dear all,
Please advise on whether the modelling concept is correct.
I have a industrial building and the contractor wanted a raft foundation design. The soil allowable bearing is 150kPa.
There are trenches/drops of about 2.25m in depth. Please see attached.
question:
could I model the raft as a flat single Mat foundation and ignore the drops?
Thank you in advance.
