Abstract

This paper presents a new shallow foundation system with soil improvement. As the new raft foundation system without pile is the hybrid building foundation with concrete raft and shallow soil improvement, it is an economical foundation. As the adoption of the new raft foundation system is able to reduce the excavating soil and concrete materials, it can be used as an environment-friendly foundation. This paper also reports the examples of actual constructed structure with the new raft foundation system and the measurement data of the settlement of the structure are reported too.
