<title>ABSTRACT</title>
<p>Some simplified design methods were proposed to predict behavior of lateral loaded
piled-raft foundations on homogenous soil. One of them is the cone model method.
However, only one average solution of pile behavior can be given by this method. It
can’t evaluate the location factors of piles. Therefore, this paper describes a new
simplified method to predict behavior of lateral loaded piled raft foundations covering
the location factor of piles. At first, ground surface displacement is derived
theoretically by Cerutti’s solution, then assuming that the raft foundation has rigid
stiffness, these displacements are the same to calculation lateral loading distribution.
Second, the ground displacement where pile placed could be estimated under calculated
lateral loading. Third, the piles behavior are evaluated based on these lateral ground
displacements. In addition, 3-D FEM numerical analysis were performed to compared
with these solutions.</p>
