Case Study: The Effect Of Cut And Fill For 3D Settlement Analysis
A number of methods have been proposed to estimate settlement of pile group. Most of the conventional method ignore the fact that constructing foundation may involve cut and fill which affect initial stress of soil prior to settlement analysis. It usually also ignores the fact that soil surface is not horizontal.
Numerical analysis has capabilities to conduct staging analysis where cut and fill process can be considered and also to model non-horizontal surface layer when necessary.
In this presentation, GTS NX will be used to model pile raft system located at the sloping area. Different method in defining non uniform soil layer will be introduced. The effect of cut and fill to the settlement analysis result will be shown.
