Abstract

The present paper deals with the finite element modeling of a simple raft foundation supported by elastic soil in order to define the best parameters to model more complicated foundation systems in the future taking into accord the soil-structure interaction. The finite element parameters are the type of elements, the contact conditions (sliding or sticking), the size of the domain to consider. In order to validate our models, we compare our results with those of Cuira and Simon, published in 2008 in a Geotechnical Journal. The quantities which are evaluated are the differential settlements, the distribution of reaction stresses and the stresses in both the raft and the supporting multilayer soil.
