Abstract
A combination of piles and a raft, called the piled raft foundation helps to reduce the settlements and differential settlements of the foundation system in addition to reducing the raft thickness. Midas GTS NX is a Finite Element Modelling based software that analyses the performance of a piled raft foundation system. Finite element method works by dividing the body to be studied into a large number of interconnected smaller elements that fulfil continuity, compatibility and stability. This paper discusses the various aspects of modelling a piled raft on the software and analysing the displacements
