Sumario:Abstract In this study, the foundation systems of a structure on different soil profiles and different groundwater levels are modeled and analyzed. Several difficulties encounter during the basic design and application phases. In particular, the high groundwater level, the load on the soil under the load-bearing capacity, settlement, liquefaction causes many problems such as emergence. Within this study's scope, foundation systems based on six different soil profiles with a high groundwater level were modeled with the Plaxis 2D program for raft foundation and piled raft foundation. As a result of the analysis, it was seen that groundwater level, the soil characteristics, and the conditions are significant in the soil-foundation interaction in both static and earthquake situations.
