Abstract  This paper presents a theoretical model and new idea for designing granular fill oil-tanks foundation. The finite difference method was used to analyze the influence of the oil-tanks radius, the modulus, and thickness of the granular fill on the maximum and differential settlement of a granular fill foundation of oil-tanks. Comparison of the modelled results with those of traditional method and observation showed that the new method could be used efficiently in practice.

Key words： circular load      granular fill      shear layer      maximum settlement      differential settlement
