One of standing problems in the practical structure analysis is associated with the issue how to model soil beneath foundations. Usual approach is based on elastic soil models and determination of soil elastic parameters is the main problem. The essence of problem is that nonlinear soil behavior is difficult to describe by two elastic parameters. In this paper we present analysis of soil-structure interaction using elastoplastic cap model for soil. These results are compared with results obtained by elastic soil models for various types of foundations. Results of analysis show that nonlinear models could be used for determination replacing static stress—strain modulus for low level of soil stresses beneath structures.
