title：Abu Dhabi Tower, Al Reem Island
project：Piled-raft foundation design
overview：The Shams Development is located on Al Reem Island off the northeast shore of Abu Dhabi. The First Abu Dhabi (FAD) Complex forms part of the overall Shams Development. The proposed development for Towers B and C of the FAD development comprises the construction of two approximately 50 storey high-rise towers and an accompanying podium and adjacent building. It is proposed that the towers will be founded on a piled raft and in order to fully understand the behaviour of the foundation a 3D linear finite element analysis is required.
