This study investigated the possible development and its application of a honeycomb-shaped, hollow block foundation. By inducing an arching phenomenon in the lower ground, the honey-cell foundation aimed to reduce the transmission of upper load and settlement. Basic theory and numerical verification have been undertaken to establish a basis for proving the hypothesis. In addition, for the field application of the study, a series of soil chamber experiments were performed. The results of the study show that the amount of load to be transmitted to the lower ground reduced significantly due to the honey-cell foundation. Accordingly, a decrease in transmitted stress results in less settlement in comparison to the general shallow footing.
