	abstract = {Abstract: The design of shallow foundations on swellingsoils needs a thorough study to evaluate the effect ofswelling potential soil on the final foundation heave. Forthis reason, a simple analytical approach based on the soilstress state under the foundation can be used to calculatethe foundation heave. This paper reports a set of analyticaland numerical analysis using the finite-difference code(FLAC 3D), performed on an isolated shallow foundationfounded on a swelling soil mass at N{\textquoteright}Gaous city in BatnaProvince, Algeria, subjected to distributed vertical loads.Further, the influence of some parameters on total heavewas analyzed, such as the embedded foundation andsoil stiffness. The analysis results from the proposed3D modelling was compared and discussed withanalytical results. The numerical results obtained showa good agreement with the analytical solutions based onoedometer tests proposed in the literature, and delivera satisfactory prediction of the heave of the shallowfoundations.}
