Stiffness and Bearing Capacity of Piled Rafts
Stiffness and Bearing Capacity of Piled Rafts
(OP)
Hello,
I am trying to understand a concept. I am working on stiffness of rafts, piles and piled rafts.
Other than those, we have bearing capacity.
So, a raft, lets say with a bearing capacity of 500 kPa. In this manner what does Kp (stiffness of raft) means? I mean, it is Pressure/deflection. So, if we have the K of the raft, we use this to estimate the deflection that will occur on the case of load equal to bearing capacity?
I will start again. We have K -stiffness, and q-bearing capacity. If we calculate bearing capacity, we do not know the settlement. Thus, we use K to calculate that. (But we have settlement prediction formulas, are they same thing?)
Long story short, do you know any resource that will clear my mind about these issues?
