Applications of the Multiphase Approach Part 1: Static and Dynamic Stiffness of Piled Raft Foundations

This chapter are devoted to the presentation of some illustrative applications of the multiphase approach to geotechnical engineering problems involving soils reinforced by linear inclusions. The present chapter is more specifically focused on evaluating the overall stiffness of piled raft foundations under either (quasi) static or truly dynamic conditions, in the context of linear elasticity .
