Abstract In this study, the settlement of concrete rectangular pyramid foundation on soft ground is investigated based on a finite element analysis. considering the grounding load and the grounding area of square pyramid foundation, we compensate the insufficient design bearing capacity and investigated the effect of settlement by load. Based on this study, it is found that the rectangular pyramid foundation shows the smallest settlement of three different type of foundations. As a result of this study, it was resulted that the square pyramid foundations were more effective than the crushed stone foundations by 18%. These results show that the ground pressures of the square pyramid bases are divided into horizontal and vertical stresses, so it is analyzed that the horizontal stress builds up the rigid ground on the foundation of the structure and distributes the load widely to increase the resistance to the overhead load.
