Abstract:Model test and in-situ monitoring results show that in common structure form, large-area thick raft foundation can diffuse the load of tall building but in the limited way. By the interaction of supper structure, thick raft and soil, the effect of the tall building on its podium is limited to the area around the main tower, where an effective range of interaction is produced with the tall building focused. Design for the thick raft foundation under multiple tall or low buildings shall take the characteristic into full account.
