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 individual columns or walls.

Mat Foundation often considered to be used when dealing with the following conditions:
04/17/23 CE-533 Advanced Foundation Engineering 5
The spread footings cover over 50% of the foundation area because of large column loads.
The soil is soft with a low bearing capacity.
Hydrostatic uplift resistance is needed etc.

To Design Mat Foundation:1. Determine the capacity of the foundation2. Determine the settlement of foundation3. Determine the differential settlement 4. 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 as for 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 the combined weight of the structure and mat, the system "floats" in the soil mass and no settlement occurs.

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 fairly uniform in both spacing and loads.)
This method is not recommended at present because of the substantial amount of approximations and the wide availability of computer programs 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 METHOD The finite-difference method uses the fourth-order differential equation based on the theory of plates 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 alternative methods 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 are not so extensive as other methods. Usually only three to five lines of input data are needed compared with up to several hundred for the other methods.

There are also a number of disadvantages:
It is extremely difficult to model boundary conditions of column 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 of width.

In the finite-element analysis, element continuity is maintained through use of displacement functions. The displacement function is of the form
