| Summary: | This study describes a study on the geotechnical behavior of two different type of footing using finite element code, PLAXIS 2D. In determining the suitable of footing to loadings, design criteria should function according to the soil and types of structures erected on it. Higher loading will require bigger footing as this will give better support. However, this is not economical as more materials will be needed for the construction of the footing. Different type of footing might affect the performance of geotechnical behavior. It is essential since such design analysis, which based on numerical analysis, could have advantages in providing preliminary expected outcomes for the modeling purposes. In conjunction to this matter, the potential of PLAXIS 2D finite element to predict the settlement of soft soil base on different type of footing are performed successfully. |
