Abstract This paper presents the evaluation of foundation stability according to decrease of the foundation contact area on the ground. In order to carry out this research, the experimental and numerical studies are performed. In the experimental study, the carefully controled laboratory model tests are carried out with different foundation size and types. The model test results are analyzed and interpreted by analytical and numerical calculation in order to verify both results obtained from experimental and numerical studies. It is clearly found from the results that the foundation stability is considerably reduced when the foundation contact area ratio is less than 75%. This research may be very useful to develop the economical foundation type.
