Abstract
Based on the finite layer method and finite element method, an approach is presented for linear and non linear numerical analysis of pile groups-soil-pile cap interaction This approach can consider the effect of layered non homogeneous soils and non linear responses of individual piles in pile groups For linear analysis, the results obtained by proposed method agree with those based on Mindlin′s solution The computed non linear response of interaction compares favourably with measured results from field tests
