INTRODUCTION

The performance of superstructure is based on settlement of foundation and raft foundation is used where settlement is main problem.
In the conventional method of design of foundation, the stiffness of superstructure and compressibility of soil mass is ignored. The raft foundation is designed rigid in order to control the differential settlement, which results uneconomical design. Rapid progress is now being made in many different aspects of structural models and also soil model in order to design the structural elements for the realistic forces. Hence, the presented study focused on the interaction analysis Influence of interaction between a space frame, raft and soil mass on redistribution of bending moment, shear force, contact pressure are mainly due to differential settlement.

Objective

In presence study we aimed at to bring out the importance of super structure stiffness and raft on interaction by varying numbers of bay and storey Aimed to show the bay and floor effect on building due to interaction Daniel and Ilampurthi reported the variation in contact pressure and bending moment in raft due to changes in stiffness of superstructures and here raft thickness, contact pressure and bending force, shear forces are discussed in term of Ksb and Krs

Literature Review

Meyerhof(1947) showed the importance of stiffness of superstructure in design of foundation using interaction analysis . He develop a method to estimate the stiffness of superstructure and related it to deformation of soil. Proposed method was demonstrated through a analysis of frame which showed that relatively small differential settlement of footing introduce large forces and moment on structures Secondary moment formed due to settlement of footing is calculated by slope deflection method and distributed using hardy-cross method

Problem description

Interaction analysis is carried out for the five storeyed space frame of 3 bay x 3 bay, 3 bay x 5 bay, 3 bay x 7 bay and 3 bay x 9 bay for linear behavior of the soil using ANSYS finite element software

Finite element model

The complexities involved in the interaction analysis of the raft and superstructure can be simplified to large extent if the finite element analysis technique is used King & Chandrasekaran (1974) formulated a finite element procedure and analysed a plane frame supported on a combined footing in which the frame and the combined footing were discretized into beam bending elements and the soil mass into plane rectangular elements
