A Simplified Numerical Method of Composite Foundation for the Circular Basis

Abstract

It is very difficult to analysis three-dimensional model of composite foundation because there are many unit numbers if piles, soil and plate unit are divided separately. three-dimensional problem is made into the axisymmetric finite element model and numerical analysis is more convenient as the periphery piles of the group piles into the pile system " equivalent ring " . Eamples shows the conclusion is reasonable and the simplified model is feasible.
