## Abstract A piled raft foundation comprises both piles and a pile cap that itself transmits load directly to the ground. The aim of such a foundation is to reduce the number of piles compared with a more conventional piled foundation where the bearing effect of the pile cap, or raft, is ignored.
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 i
This paper describes the application of a structural optimization approach combined with the "nite element method for the optimal design of a raft}pile foundation system. The analysis takes into account the non-linear behaviour of the soil medium and the piles. For the optimization process, the sens
