Overview: This paper concerns the numerical modeling of shallow circular foundations. For design purposes it is almost always necessary to devise a numerical model of foundation behavior, however simple that might be, and the principal focus of this paper is on appropriate numerical models for modern design methods. The basic principles of the models, which are based on work-hardening plasticity theory, are described, and some problems and pitfalls discussed. Future areas of development are mentioned, and example calculations are given to illustrate the application of the models to offshore foundations.
