Salam Alaykom All, I am modeling a refugee camp on Etabs. I have over 20 buildings to be modeled, each 5 share the same raft foundation , and each raft foundation is no more than 3 meters away from the other. For simplicity I modeled all 20 buildings in the same Etabs Model to Calculate the forces on the raft foundations. My question is : 1_ Will the Raft Foundations be Affected by each other , knowing that the buildings they support arent connected in any way?

High Loads under Columns and Bearing Capacity Failure
muneeb1213 posted a topic in Foundation Design
I m designing a 4 storey building on a poorly graded sand with SPN value of 5 and allowable bearing capacity of 0.5 tonn/sq.ft..... for the mat foundation, i provided beams of 18 x 36 and mat thickness as 24 inches ... however the soil pressure are still above safe bearing capacity.. My question is should i assign line spring property to the footing beams or not??? The area of footing is also increased but the stresses are still high... -
Assalam o alaikum seniors, I am searching for some design example of TIE BEAM DESIGN.... I am having sap reactions of all the columns.. I need detail of manual design of tie beam. Or info how to design it. I also want to design it for differential settlement of columns and for lateral loads also... How shud i take these loads in my design??? If i design this beam in sap2000, i apply gravity load and support settelemnt of 25 mm at one end of beam and design it, will it be OK? Shud i take soil reaction from bottom or shud i neglect it? Jazak Allah...

Some people check settlement of RAFT foundation on SAFE by viewing the deformed shape. Is it fine to do so?
