In this study we investigate the development of shear zones due to the settlement of shallow foundations and their load-settlement behavior. Firstly, a well-documented experiment of shallow penetration into sand is used for the validation of the soft particle code (SPARC). For these simulations a hypoplastic material model for sand with calibration for the model sand is implemented in SPARC. In order...
