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.

This paper presents a piled raft case study in Penang, Malaysia. The building footprint is about 90m by 76m with a 4m deep basement. The central office tower is 21 storeys in height and occupies an area of 41m by 35m, with a 2 storey retail podium over the remaining area.

This paper describes the process of design of a piled raft foundation for a high rise residential building on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. The design process comprised an initial stage of geotechnical site characterization using the results of a series of investigation bore holes to prepare a subsurface model and derive geotechnical parameters for raft and pile design from empirical correlations.
