In recent years, there have been an increasing number of structures using piled rafts as the foundation to reduce the overall settlement. For cases, where piled raft is subjected to a uniform loading, the use of identical piles can improve the performance of foundation. Extensive research has been performed in the past to examine the behaviour of piled raft. In this paper, the behaviour of piled raft supported by identical piles is examined by using computer program ANSYS based on Finite Element Method. Full interaction between raft, piles and soil which is of major importance in the behaviour of piled raft is considered in the analysis. The interaction between identical piles subjected to vertical uniform loading is examined. Program ANSYS can be used for the analysis of piled raft subjected to vertical loadings in which the base of raft is treated being rough and slip along pile-soil interface is allowed in analysis. By having a rough raft base, there is significant effect on vertical movement of raft base, there is significant effect on vertical movement of raft due to lateral resistance of also soils and piles.
