The soil-concrete foundation interaction is one of the complicate job in civil engineering. The theoretical concept and numerical analysis are well supportive in understanding soil-concrete foundation interaction. In this paper, the seismic response of group concrete foundations are evaluated for understanding nonlinear soil behavior. The main objective is, to understand effect of a real earthquake acceleration on morphology of differential settlement of soil at the base of concrete foundation and the overall of the soil foundation. The ABAQUS has been used in numerical simulation, in order to simulate differential settlement of soil due to nonlinear soil-concrete foundation interaction. The models were subjected to similar seismic loading. The seismic data are reported at literature, used in numerical simulation. The results indicated that the differential settlement of soil depends on soil-concrete foundation interaction
