Most of soil structure interaction methods for analyzing large-section supports such as barrette foundation modeling and the surrounding soil are using 3D finite element (FE) models. In which, the model leads to a large finite element mesh, and consequently a large system of linear equations to be solved. In this paper, Composed Coefficient Technique (CCT) is adapted for analyzing barrette group. The technique considers the 3D full interactions between barrettes and the surrounding soil. Due to the high rigidity of the barrettes relative to the surrounding soil, a uniform settlement for the barrettes can be considered. This is done to compose the stiffness coefficients of the soil matrix into composed coefficients, which consequently leads to a significant reduction in the soil stiffness matrix. An application for analyzing barrette group by CCT technique is carried out on a real subsoil. The application presents guidelines and diagrams for barrette group that may be used in real practice.
