ABSTRACT
The foundation system for the high-rise building TOWER185 is an excellent example to show the specific considerations undertaken to design the building pit and the piled-raft foundation. On the basis of experiences made during the past 20 years in the design, the construction and the back-analysis of the load-settlement behaviour of numerous high-rise buildings in Frankfurt and consequently the well known soil and groundwater conditions, a realistic soil-structure-interaction-behavior in combination with numerical methods could be applied to design an optimized foundation system for the TOWER185. Since the center of area does not correspond to the center of mass, certain considerations had to be taken into account in order to reduce the tilting of the tower and to guarantee the serviceability.
Keywords: Optimized foundation and pit design, Piled- raft foundation.
