Hello Chandan,
I have included some links in which could or could not be useful in answering your question. However i hope they are! Basically, Combined Pile-Raft Foundations are widely adopted for high rise buildings and the following links will give you a better understanding of that.

Willing to answer all civil engineering-related questions through the undergraduate level. I will explain unclear concepts and suggest approaches to solving problems, but would prefer not to completely solve homework problems for you. If you are completely stumped on homework/assignment I will do my best to try and guide you in the right direction. Also willing to give advice on issues not related to study although related to civil engineering.
Experience
I have been studying for 5 years in Civil Engineering and have a sound knowledge of various civil engineering subjects. I have also worked as a consultant in the Roads and Highways Department for Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM).
