Abstract
This paper presents a method of analysis for piled raft systems constr ucted in layered soils. The method presented takes account of the inte ractions of the raft, piles and soil without the cost of a full three- dimensional rigorous analysis. This is done by the use of finite layer methods for the analysis of the soil and finite element methods for t he raft. Examples are provided in the paper for piled rafts constructe d on layered soils, and results are presented for bending moments in t he raft and loads in the piles.
