Abstract
A Modified Cam-Clay Model and finite element methods (FEM) are used in this paper to analyze the deformation and settlement of red clay foundation. The results show: (1)The deformation of oil tank foundation calculated is close to that measured and the effect of geometric nonlinearity is small. (2) Geometry of loading and level of stress have important effects on the deformation behaviors of red clay foundations. In practice the result of elastic-plastic FEM is much better than that of classical calculated methods (CCM).
