Abstract

Pile foundations play a critical role in ensuring the stability and longevity of residential structures, especially in regions with weak or expansive soils. This study focuses on the analysis and design of pile foundations for residential buildings, considering geotechnical and structural parameters to achieve optimal load-bearing capacity. The research involves soil investigation, load calculations, and pile design using relevant standards and design codes such as IS 2911. Different types of piles, including end-bearing and friction piles, are analyzed based on soil conditions, settlement criteria, and structural load requirements. The study also explores cost efficiency, construction feasibility, and environmental impact in selecting the most suitable foundation system. A case study is conducted to validate the design methodology through numerical modeling and structural analysis software. The results highlight the effectiveness of pile foundations in minimizing settlement, improving load distribution, and ensuring long-term durability for residential buildings.
