Abstract
Piled raft systems are often suitable as foundations for large buildin gs in soft soil, As the analysis of piled raft systems is very complex , computers are often used. When a large group of piles or a large raf t is involved, a large amount of computing time is required. This pape r presents an approximation which reduces computer run time considerab ly, and yet results in very little error. This approximate method shou ld be useful for quick ol preliminary design.
