This research paper presents a comprehensive numerical analysis of well foundations using midas gts nx(finite element method) under varying soil parameters, with comparisons to results irc:45-1972. The study focuses on evaluating critical aspects such as soil stress, displacement, and bending moment to assess the performance and reliability of well foundations in different geotechnical environments. Advanced numerical modeling techniques are utilized to simulate the soil-structure interaction, capturing the detailed behavior of well foundations across a range of soil types characterized by their cohesion, internal friction angle, and modulus of elasticity. Additionally, the findings are contrasted with the provisions of the IRC 45 code to evaluate their practical applicability and reliability. The analysis reveals significant variations in the performance of well foundations based on soil parameters, highlighting the necessity for thorough site-specific geotechnical investigations. The study demonstrates that while MIDAS GTS NX offers highly precise predictions of soil stress, displacement, and bending moment, the IRC 45 code provides a practical and conservative design approach with sufficient safety margins. This research underscores the importance of integrating advanced numerical methods with established guidelines to optimize the design and safety of well foundations. The conclusions drawn from this study are expected to aid civil engineers in improving foundation design practices, ensuring structural integrity and longevity, and contributing valuable insights to the field of geotechnical engineering.
