Abstract

Abstract: The significance of wind turbines in meeting the expanding energy demand is critical. Taller towers should be employed to boost the power producing capability. The foundation must be efficient in order to securely carry the heavier loads of taller towers. When sustaining loads from superstructure are considered then bearing capacity of raft is taken into account for pile raft foundation. Piles help to strengthen the raft's bearing capacity while also regulating settlement in this arrangement, particularly differential settlement. A hybrid foundation, i.e. a pile raft foundation, is investigated and geotechnically designed here. The effectiveness of this system is demonstrated using the measures total settlement, differential settlement, and rotation. Keywords: Pile raft foundation, differential settlement, total settlement, wind turbin, bearing capacity
