Abstract

In this paper we shall deal with application of analytical and numerical calculation methods in selected geotechnical problem. It is well-known that numerical modeling by Finite Element Method (FEM) is often used for solving complicated engineering problems. FEM is very universal and efficient tool for their solution. In our case a contact task of rigid shallow (circular, rectangular and strip) foundations loaded by centric force, has been solved. The obtained results of vertical normal stresses distributions according to analytical methods and FEM solutions have been analyzed and mutually compared. Results of the calculations have been presented in graphical and tabular form, too.
