An approximate numerical method for the analysis of piled raft foundations is presented. The raft is modelled as a thin plate and the piles as interacting non-linear springs. Both the raft and the piles are interacting with the soil which is modelled as an elastic layer. Two sources of non-linearity

โฆ Synopsis
Analysis of piled raft foundations, taking account of their full three-dimensional complexity, can be accomplished by modern finite element analysis techniques. The characteristics of the (preconditioned conjugate gradient) numerical method applied to this problem are analysed, and then the method is used in a field problem of a raft subjected to very rapidly varying loading patterns.

This paper presents a method of analysis for piled raft systems constructed in layered soils. The method presented takes account of the interactions of the raft, piles and soil without the cost of a full threedimensional rigorous analysis. This is done by the use of finite layer methods for the anal
This paper describes the development of a boundary element analysis for the behaviour of single piles and pile groups subjected to general three-dimensional loading and to vertical and lateral ground movements. Each pile is discretized into a series of cylindrical elements, each of which is divided
