Mat/Raft Foundation?A foundation system in which essentially the entire
building is placed on a large continuous footing.Usually large concrete slab supporting many columns.Commonly used as foundation for silos, chimneys, large
machinery.It is a flat concrete slab, heavily reinforced with steel,
which carries the downward loads of the individualcolumns or walls.

Mat Foundation often considered to be usedwhen dealing with the following conditions:
6/26/2014 CE-533 Advanced Foundation Engineering 5
The spread footings cover over 50% of the foundationarea because of large column loads.
The soil is soft with a low bearing capacity.
Hydrostatic uplift resistance is needed etc.

Types of Mat Foundations
6/26/2014 7CE-533 Advanced Foundation Engineering
To Design Mat Foundation:1. Determine the capacity of the foundation2. Determine the settlement of foundation3. Determine the differential settlement4. Determine the stress distribution beneath the
foundation5. Design the structural component of the mat
foundation using the stress distribution obtain from 4.

Bearing capacity of the Foundation
Bearing Capacity Analysis follows the same approach asfor spread footings
Factor of Safety (Das, 2004):Under normal Dead loads = 3.0(Min)
Under extreme loads = 1.75-2.0(Min)

2). Settlement of foundationThe settlement tends to be controlled via the
following:Use of a larger foundation to produce lower soil
contact pressures.Displaced volume of soil (flotation effect);
theoretically if the weight of excavation equals thecombined weight of the structure and mat, thesystem "floats" in the soil mass and no settlementoccurs.

AN APPROXIMATE METHOD: The mat is divided into strips loaded by a line of columns and resisted
by soil pressure. This strip is then analyzed as a combined footing. (This method can be
used where the mat is very rigid and the column pattern is fairlyuniform in both spacing and loads.)
This method is not recommended at present because of the substantialamount of approximations and the wide availability of computerprograms that are relatively easy to use.

FLEXIBLE METHOD:1. Compute the plate rigidity D2. Compute the radius of effective stiffness L (Note: the
approximate zone of any column influence is ~ 4L).3. Compute the radial and tangential moments, the shear,
and deflection.

FINITE DIFFERENCE METHODThe finite-difference method uses the fourth-order differential equation based on the theory ofplates and shells [Timoshenko and Woinowsky-Krieger (1959)]:

The finite-difference method has several advantages:
It has been widely used (and should be used as a check on alternativemethods where it is practical).
It is reliable if the mat can be modelled using a finite-difference grid. It is rapid since the input data are minimal compared with any other
discrete method, and the computations to build the stiffness array arenot so extensive as other methods. Usually only three to five lines ofinput data are needed compared with up to several hundred for theother methods.

There are also a number of disadvantages:
It is extremely difficult to model boundary conditions ofcolumn fixity.It is very difficult to model notches, holes, or re-entrant
corners.It is difficult to apply a concentrated moment (as from a
column) since the difference model uses moment/unit ofwidth.
