For&lt;br&gt;this reason, a simple analytical approach based on the soil&lt;br&gt;stress state under the foundation can be used to calculate&lt;br&gt;the foundation heave. This paper reports a set of analytical&lt;br&gt;and numerical analysis using the finite-difference code&lt;br&gt;(FLAC 3D), performed on an isolated shallow foundation&lt;br&gt;founded on a swelling soil mass at N’Gaous city in Batna&lt;br&gt;Province, Algeria, subjected to distributed vertical loads.&lt;br&gt;Further, the influence of some parameters on total heave&lt;br&gt;was analyzed, such as the embedded foundation and&lt;br&gt;soil stiffness. The analysis results from the proposed&lt;br&gt;3D modelling was compared and discussed with&lt;br&gt;analytical results. The numerical results obtained show&lt;br&gt;a good agreement with the analytical solutions based on&lt;br&gt;oedometer tests proposed in the literature, and deliver&lt;br&gt;a satisfactory prediction of the heave of the shallow&lt;br&gt;foundations.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue></record></records></xml>
