2 prof. Dr. Ing. Yasser El-Mossallamy 2 Development of High-rise Buildings in city centers Although the cost of the foundation of a high rise building is only a small fraction of the total cost (about 10 to 15%), the foundation is one of the main design elements, which affects the whole behaviour of the building. On the other hand, the construction time of the foundation and basement floors takes about 30 to 50 % of the total construction time. These conditions make the foundation of high rise buildings one of the most critical construction items regarding the risk assessment analyses and optimization of construction schedule. Slide: 3 Different foundation types Piled foundation Piled raft 259 m 256 m Raft foundation 100 m Compressible soil Relatively incompressible soil Slide: 4

This has an effect on the reinforcement grad, on the raft thickness, on the required excavation depth, on the design of the required shoring system and on the required dewatering. Slide: 24
