Abstract:

There is a growing demand for multi-story buildings for residence and commercial purposes in coastal areas of Sindh, Pakistan. Such types of soils are generally considered more compressible with high groundwater levels, which may cause lower shear strength and higher settlement. The computation of the settlement of foundations requires the use of advanced constitutive models, which are not commonly used due to a lack of field or experimental data. This study is carried out to illustrate the use of an advanced soil model, i.e., Hardening Soil Model for the computation of settlement. For this purpose, numerical modeling was carried out using Finite Element Program PLAXIS 2D. Initially, the MC Model was utilized for the calculation of the settlement of a 10-story building in the coastal soil. In addition, parametric analyses for the effects of modulus of elasticity, permeability, and dilatancy angle were carried out. The results mainly suggest that the settlement of the building constructed on a piled raft foundation, predicted with the MC model, was 40% higher than that of the HS model. For prediction of settlement of the piled raft foundation, the results suggest that the HS model can be given preference as compared to the MC model.
