The use of raft foundation many possiblity to reduce the chances of differential settlement and increased soil pressure at foundation level to be transmitted with the concept of buoyancy raft. The behavior of structure is depends on soil strata.. The design of raft foundation is many different soil structure interaction problems (SSI). SSI effect depends on many types of factors like that modulus of elasticity, loadings, soil subgrade modulus, thickness of raft, column size of structure. The Parametric Study is done on Various Parameter like Subgrade Modulus, Thickness of raft, Column size and Modulus of Elasticity of raft. The bending moment and shear force, soil pressure are significantly effect by Soil Structure Interaction. The raft behaviour has been checked in this Study. Keywords- Raft Foundation, Soil Structure interaction, Moment, Shear Force, Soil Pressure, Raft Settlement. I. INTRODUCTION In the last few years, due to rapid urbanization and lack of space for horizontal expansion, cities have grown vertically. High rise buildings are increasing at a rapid rate. For foundations of such high rise building, normally raft foundation, pile foundation or piled-raft foundation are used. Design of raft foundation is a soil structure interaction problem and there are many factors affecting raft foundation design. It has been observed that in practice, it has been very much difficult for designer to consider the influence of all parameters that are likely to affect design and generally simplified approach of conventional design is adopted in most of the cases. A raft is a combined footing that covers the entire area beneath a structure and supports all walls and columns. When the allowable soil pressure is low, or building loads are heavy, the use of spread footings would cover more than one half of the area and it may prove more economical to use raft foundations. Raft foundation is also used when the soil mass contains compressible lenses or the soil is sufficiently erratic. So that the differential settlement can be controlled. It is also used where the soil is having low bearing capacity in such cases, the concept of floating raft is applied i.e. The weight of the superstructure is balanced by the weight of the soil removed. Ordinarily, rafts are designed as reinforced concrete flat slabs. If the C.G of loads coincides with the centroid of the raft, the upward load is regarded as a uniform pressure equal to the downward load divided by the area of the raft. The weight of the raft is not considered in the structural design because it is assumed to be carried directly by the subsoil. Since this method does not take into account moments and shear caused by differential settlements, it is customary to reinforce the raft more heavily than required according to analysis. II. LITRATURE REVIEW A. G. S. Kame, S. K. Ukarande, K. Borgaonkar &V. A. Sawant is considered a non-rigid or elastic approach to solve the raft foundation. Finite element analysis was utilized to serve the purpose. So as to take into account the effect of transverse shear force/ stresses. In this paper, the effect of modulus of sub grade reaction, thickness of raft and load pattern was observed and variation in the analysis was observed. The aim of the research was to study the effect of different parameters on the raft foundation with the help of finite element procedure. Following were the parameters which researchers have varied:- 1. Thickness of the raft (0.4m, 0.9m, 1.m) 2. Modulus of subgrade reaction (40000, , , ) kn/m3, 3. Column loads of different patterns. They have found that, at lower soil modulus, deflections were increasing with raft thickness and at higher modulus trend is reverse. Positive bending moments were increasing with raft thickness and negative bending moments are reduced with raft thickness. When effect of soil modulus was considered, it was found that positive bending moments are decreasing at higher modulus, and negative bending moments are increasing with soil All rights Reserved 408

2 Volume 4, Issue, May-2017, e-issn: , print-issn: B. R. Ziaie- Moayed and M. Janbaz (2009) Studied In their study they had modelled the foundation on clay soil with Finite Element software to investigate the validation of Terzaghi s Formula and the effect of different parameters on the modulus of sub grade reaction. This modulus of sub grade reaction depends on some parameters like, 1.) Size effect of foundation, 2.) Effect of foundation s shape, 3.) Effect of Depth of foundation, 4.) Effect of rigidity of foundation, The figure below shows the soil system for which modulus of sub grade reaction. The vertical settlement for each analysis was obtained and the load- settlement graph were plotted, then the secant modulus of subgrade reaction of each graph was determined. Dishing effect of flexible foundation was also discussed. Figure1. Soil model in plaxis The value of K obtained according to the Terzaghi s equation is first calculated by Plate Load test. Then this value is modified for the width, depth, shape. Also the research has shown the relation on the basis of which we can analyze a foundation on the basis of the conventional design procedure or as a beam on elastic foundation. The effects of different parameters are studied and following are the results: modulus of sub grade decreases as the side dimension of footing increases. The modulus of sub grade reaction is directly influenced by the consistency of clayey soil. If the consistency of soil decreases the modulus value decreases. K value increases with depth of embedment. C. D. Daniel Thangaraj and K. Ilamparuthi (2010) have tried to show the interaction among superstructure, substructure and soil system and compare it with no interaction analysis. The analysis of superstructure without modeling foundation and conversely analyzing the foundation system without considering the rigidity of the superstructure may mislead the estimation of the force, bending moment and the settlement etc. In interaction analysis, all the three components namely soil, raft and superstructure are analyzed as a single compatible unit and compared with non-interaction analysis. A detailed parametric study was conducted by varying the relative stiffness of superstructure, ksb and the raft, krs. The relative stiffness Ksb and Krs are determined based on the recommendation of Brown et al. (1986). The influence of these two parameters on the forces and moments in superstructure and the raft were studied. Analyses are carried out for the following ranges of values: Ksb =1 to 100 and krs =0.001 to 0.01 The interaction analysis showed less total and differential settlements than the non-interaction analysis did. Between the two parameters, krs and ksb, ksb has a significant influence on both the settlements indicating that the modulus of the soil plays major role in the performance of the raft. Also in the analysis, the moments in the raft, the end span is increases with the increase in ksb value whereas krs alters the moment below the interior columns as well as the span moment in the interior panels of the raft.

The various parameter used are different types of soil and settlement in raft. They have taken three type of soil which are hard soil, medium soil and soft soil. The analysis of raft and analysis of raft with opening is done. The settlement in both raft is checked. They have found that with opening in raft the moment increasing with different types of soil. The opening have largest effect on corner side the moment have larger than simple raft. They have also taken in different types of soil and found that loose soil has maximum effect of soil the settlement and moment are increase in the raft with soft soil and have opening. While dense soil has less effect on settlement and moment. III.

10 Volume 4, Issue, May-2017, e-issn: , print-issn: V. CONCLUSIONS In the design of raft foundation, Soil structure interaction should be given importance, as adopt rigid method which is not true in all cases, as it does not take soil properties into account and also gives heavier design, which also affects cost. In case study, flexible methods have been carried out. In flexible method, modeling has been carried out in CSI SAFE V12 software. Modulus of subgrade reaction has been assumed based on the range specified in J. Bowles. In parametric study, flexible method has been carried out. The flexible method has been carried out by Winkler method. In Winkler method, variation in thickness of raft and modulus of subgrade reaction,variation in Modulus of Elasticity of raft is carried out and change in moments and Shear force soil pressure have been observed. 1. By changing the modulus of subgrade reaction, it has been found that with the increase in k there is Decrease in negative and positive moments with the increase in modulus of subgrade reaction, there is a reduction in moments. Also by changing Soil subgrade Shear force are getting decreases but not much. With increase in Soil subgrade pressure is increase and Deflection Decrease. 2. By changing the thickness of raft, it has been found that with the increase in thickness there is decrease in negative moments and positive both moments. Also decrease in shear force by increase thickness. Change in thickness does not affect overall pressure but pressure below column has been change the pressure below column decrease as increase in thickness. Increasing thickness of raft deflection in getting increase. Also Soil pressure is decrease by increase the Slab Thickness. 3. By changing the modulus of elasticity, it has been found that at lower modulus of elasticity there is not major increase in moments or shear force. But at very high modulus of elasticity can make difference. Increase in modulus of elasticity Deflection decrease. 4. By changing the column size, It has been found that at increase the column size When Negative and positive bending moment get decrease. Column size affect Shear force in raft column size increase Shear force is getting decrease negative shear force get sudden decrease but positive shear force is decrease very marginally. And that Increase in Column Size Deflection is getting decreased. And Increase in Column Size Soil pressure is getting increased REFERENCES [1] G. S. Kame, S. K. Ukarande,K. Borgaonkar, V. A.
