Taking the Fujairah strategy grain storage project in United Arab of Emirates as example,the paper presents the design application of raft foundation for ship loader/unloader in quay-wall of sheet-pile.Both static load tests in field and finite element model simulation are integrated to determine the foundation reaction coefficient during the design of the raft foundation.On this basis,the internal forces of the raft foundation are calculated and the reinforcements are designed.Using numerical simulation technology,the settlement deformation of the front rail bearer and rear rail bearer and the equivalent uniformly distributed load on the wharf surface can meet the corresponding design criteria under different working conditions.The results of the observation settlement in a continuous year indicate that the settlement of the observation points of the front rail bearer and rear rail bearer and the relative settlement values can meet the technical requirements of the equipment manufacturers of the loading and unloading machines.
