“…The kinematic hardening model for cyclic loads and the gapping-contact interaction model on the interface of the foundation and the ground were developed and implemented (Chatzigogos et al, 2009 Using a series of centrifuge tests, a bearing capacity problem of two-layered soils was investigated by Okamura et al (1997), where a sand layer was overlaid over a soft clay layer. Murakami et al (1996) carried out numerical simulations with the use of Cosserat media to take the bending resistance of the surface crust into account.…”

Foundation engineering emerged as a discipline of modern engineering science in 1940s.Design and analysis as well as practice of foundation engineering have made a signiˆcant progress up to the present time.This paper gives an overview of the development of foundation engineering, mainly referring to papers published in Soils and Foundations.The paper describes the theoretical development of foundation analysis and a recent increasing trend of foundation practice of adopting various hybrid foundations.The paper points out the importance of environmental considerations in foundation design and practice, including low noise and vibration reduction, reuse of existing foundations and use of natural energy through foundation elements.The paper then provides authors'views of future directions in foundation studies and practice.
