Summary

In this paper, raft problems resting on a continuum subject to vertical static loading are analysed using a boundary element formulation. The raft is assumed to have linear elastic properties and is represented by integral equations based on Kirchhoff's plate model. The soil is a linear-elastic solid of a finite depth and is modelled using two distinct approaches namely a direct layered Mindlin approach and a Steinbrenner model. All the interaction forces of the raft-soil system are simultaneously taken into account. Numerical analyses are presented for different foundation configurations and the results of those analyses are studied.
