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 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
Some restrictions on the magnitude of the characteristic polynomial of a sampleddata system for stability were obtained. The ranges of the coefficients of the polynomial were determined. These are useful in checking the instability of the system and dispels unnecessary work. These conditions, especi
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
