Analysis of Foundations and Soil–Structure Interaction Using FEM—A Review

This paper deals with the review of the literature regarding the dynamic and static analysis of foundations resting on different types of soils. This study focuses on the application of various finite element analysis (FEA) methods for the designing and analysis of various foundations rested on different types of soils. The papers studied for the project dealt mainly with the use of FEA software ANSYS for the analysis of foundations and soil–structure interaction. Further, the areas where more research work is still needed are discussed.
