Short summary
3D finite element analysis reveals piled raft foundations reduce settlement significantly more than traditional rafts, with settlement decreasing as pile number, length, and spacing increase.

Key points
- Piled raft foundations offer substantially greater settlement reduction than traditional rafts.
- Increasing pile number, pile length, and pile spacing reduces vertical deformation.
- Pile layout significantly influences both the amount and position of maximum settlement.
- Analysis was performed using 3D finite element modeling in Plaxis 3D Foundation.

Abstract
This paper highlights settlement behaviour of piled raft foundation by 3D finite element analysis through Plaxis 3D Foundation program. The effects of pile number, pile length, pile layout and pile spacing on the behaviour of piled raft foundation were studied. The numerical results show that: Piled raft foundation has much more efficency to reduce settlement than that of traditional raft foundation. The value of vertical defomation decreases as the result of the increase of pile number, pile length, pile spacing and vice versa. Pile layout has significant effect on both value and location of maximum settlement of piled raft foundation.
