In this study we investigated a circular foundation with experimental method and drawn its load-settlement curve. Then we numerically have modeled it using Plaxis software. After calibration obtained curve from numerical calculation with the laboratory test's curve, we had investigated the effect of geo-grid, retaining wall, water in foundation and changes in by load-settlement curve.
