Abstract
In this paper, numerical analyses were conducted on piled raft foundation settlement and pile bearing characteristics in soft ground. Results obviously showed longer and larger piles developed end bearing capacity values, but also showed the load of the central pile is larger than the surrounding piles in a group formation. Additionally, after pile yielding, the load carrying capacity exists as a raft. Moreover, results showed no transverse displacement according to embedment depth for the single pile case, but larger transverse displacements for deeper embedment depths.
