Non-linear Analysis of Piled Raft Foundations
By J. C. Small and H. G. Poulos
A method of analysis is presented for piled raft foundations where the piles exhibit non linear load-deflection behaviour. The raft is analysed through the use of finite element methods, while the piles are treated as springs having a variable stiffness, so as to model any non-linear behaviour.
