“…The use of numerical modeling has increased considerably, and it has been used as a tool that allows simulating the behavior of complex structures in real projects. Some models have been developed using different software and constitutive models mainly to evaluate how the pile spacing, load sharing, pile length, and diameter affect the settlement of the foundation (Cui et al, 2010b;Lee et al, 2010;El-Mossallamy, 2008;Roy & Chattopadhyay, 2011;Cho et al, 2012;van Tran et al, 2012b;Rodríguez-Rebolledo et al, 2015;Watcharasawe et al, 2015;Banerjee et al, 2016;Sinha & Hanna, 2017;Zhang & Liu, 2017;Alnuaim et al, 2017;Khanmohammadi & Fakharian, 2018;Luo et al, 2018;Mali & Singh, 2018). Although some of those works consider consolidation analyses, few studies have really focus on simulating the subsidence process in a more precise way using more accurate constitutive models that represent the soil behavior, which can lead to a closer analysis of the system's behavior.…”
