Abstract
Several papers have been written about the influence of structural stiffness on soil consolidation. Most dealt with the soil as an elastic-medium, flexible beam on a Winkler medium with adequate interface finite element between the structure and soil, foundation element stiffness matrix, and three-phase spatial structure. The present technical note considers the effect of settlement caused by cohesive soil consolidation on the structure and the effect of the change in structure forces on the process of consolidation. It also considers the direct pressure from the foundation on the soil, as well as the pressure spread according to Boussinesq's equation from one foundation to another.
