Abstract: In the conventional design approach of the piled raft foundation, the structural loads are completely carried by the piles and the contribution of the bearing capacity by the soils is usually ignored. The new approach considers the soil bearing resistance and leads to the reduction of the number of piles. It has an obvious cost advantage.
