Abstract: Scope: investigate the impact of the groundwater fluctuation on the settlement of foundation on the coarse sand soils. Approach: Throughout the model study with different groundwater levels, measure the vertical settlement of sand with different foundation contact pressures. Major Conclusion: Small settlement will be induced due to the rising or lowering the groundwater.

Key words: Simulation Tests, Groundwater Level Changes, Coarse Sand, Vertical Deformation
