Considering the conventional designing method of composite piled foundation only takes the bearing of piles into account. Through studying of the soft soil foundation
a complete designing method has been developed to choose the number of piles on the basis of allowable settlement for the composite piled foundation; that is
to be settlement-controlled composite piled foundation. The paper introduces the basic principles and procedures of the design method taking settlement control as the key objective. Then
the calculation process is presented by a project example; and the numerical calculation is also made by finite element software. Compared with the conventional design method it shows great economic predominance.
