This study discusses the results of simulation a finite element analysis of the load-settlement curve using soft soil model of shallow foundation subjected to axial load rested on three different types of clayey soils, it was considered different shear strength parameters (C=16, C=25, and C=70). It was concluded for clayey soil of C=16, there was a match to the experimental load – settlement curve using the soft soil model. It was also observed increase in the foundation width led to an increase in bearing capacity, however, bearing capacity increased by around (79 %) for an increase in footing width of (6.25), so it was about (144%) for (12.5).
