Piled Raft Design Process for a High-rise Building on the Gold Coast, Australia
By Paran Moyes, Harry G. Poulos, John C. Small, Frances Badelow
This paper describes the process of design of a piled raft foundation for a high rise residential building on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. The design process comprised an initial stage of geotechnical site characterization using the results of a series of investigation bore holes to prepare a subsurface model and derive geotechnical parameters for raft and pile design from empirical correlations.
