A practical solution named PASS, for quickly and easily calculating the settlement process of building with piles in poor soils, is presented. In this method, we introduce the new ideas those are the effective diameter of pile and the effective width among the adjacent of piles. The parametric studies of piled raft with various values (raft soil stiffness ratio, pile spacing, pile length, number of piles, finite layer of soil) are performed. Calculating the settlement of piled-raft using the PASS provides a close approximation to results from analysis using the three-dimensional finite element method for piled-raft.
