Analyses of a single pile, a pile group and a piled raft in a homogenous elastic ground subjected to earthquake are carried out using FEM and a simplified analysis method, In the FEM analyses, the raft and the piles are modelled by solid elements, or the raft is modelled by the thin plate elements and the piles are modelled by beam elements. As a simplified analysis method, a three-dimensional dynamic analysis of piled raft foundations subjected to earthquake using a hybrid model is proposed in this paper. In the analysis, the flexible raft and the pile are modelled as thin plates and beam elements, respectively. The soil is treated as springs and dashpots. The results from different modelling are compared, in order to investigate adequate modelling of raft, pile and ground and to investigate dynamic responses of the pile foundations. It is shown from the analyses that horizontal displacements and horizontal accelerations are not influenced by methods of modelling. In contrast, vertical responses such as vertical displacements hence the rocking motion of the pile, axial forces of the pile are influenced by methods of modelling, although the vertical responses are much smaller than the horizontal responses. Details of the results of the analyses are presented, and suggestions for the improvement of the simplified analysis method are discussed.
