Abstract
# N4 |; Z- u4 A" o"In situations where a raft foundation alone does not satisfy the design requirements, it
may be possible to enhance the performance of the raft by the addition of piles. The use
of a limited number of piles, strategically located, may improve both the ultimate load
& ]% H  J- N. j" f) \1 ]capacity and the settlement and differential settlement performance of the raft. This
paper outlines the development of a simplified method of analysis which can provide a
% b# U' A1 K7 o1 M" w6 h; museful tool for preliminary design of piled raft foundations. It involves two phases:
1. The assessment of the overall foundation behavior;

In both cases, use is made of simplified solutions to compute foundation stiffness
and capacity characteristics. The selection of design geotechnical parameters is an

necessary parameters are summarized.
Typical applications to a case history of a piled raft and to model centrifuge tests
are described, and it is found that the behavior predicted by the simplified analysis is
