Static behavior of piled raft foundation in clay

Abstract: Wall piles supported with anchors are considered one of the most prevalent types of engineering support. This research includes studying the behavior of wall piles through a numerical parametric study using the FE-method program (PLAXIS 2D). The study includes the most influencing factors such as the angle of the inclination, the vertical spacing between the rows of anchors, and the distance of the first row of anchors from the ground surface. The effects of these factors on the stability of the wall were studied. Optimal positioning of the anchors is crucial, as it maximizes their effectiveness and contributes significantly to reducing the overall construction costs. The use of a guys queue for the economic aspect saves the cost of executing two guys queue because the effect of having two rows does not significantly change the transfer values. The optimum angle of inclination of the tensioner row is 15° in favor of safety, and as it gives good stability of the wall to the wedge wall, with an increase in this angle, the horizontal movement decreases. The first optimum dimension for a row of guys from the horizontal surface of the earth is O = 25%H. Decrease the values of horizontal movement of the wall by increasing the angle of friction.
