This paper presents a comparative analysis of the performance of raft and piled raft foundations using the case study of a 29-storey building designed for the seismically hazardous area of Grozny. The investigation is based on numerical modelling of the interaction within the “structure–foundation–multilayered soil” system taking into account the actual geotechnical conditions and dynamic properties of soil. Seismic loading is considered as a stationary random process. The analysis investigates the distribution of resonant frequencies of the system, the spectral density of the random acceleration function of the system, and its dynamic amplification factor. Frequency characteristics of the building were obtained using the LIRA-SOFT software package. The evaluation of the dynamic amplification factor was carried out by solving a stochastic problem of wave propagation in a multilayered medium.
The results demonstrate that the piled raft foundation reduces the dynamic response of the building. Despite its higher cost, the use of such a foundation is justified in the conditions of increased seismic hazard and weak soils. The obtained findings allow us to recommend a piled raft foundation as the preferred structural solution for high-rise buildings under engineering-geological and seismic conditions similar to those of Grozny.
