This post introduces the paper Experimental study on the interaction mechanisms of soil overlying embedded foundations under reverse faults, published in Transportation Geotechnics (2025, 54: 101596). Through 26 1g model tests combining three factors (foundation position, embedment depth and structural load), the study examines the interaction between embedded foundations and the rupture zone under reverse fault movement. Based on the characteristics of ground surface and foundation displacement, the interaction is classified into three modes: bottom contact, sidewall-bottom contact and sidewall contact. The transitions between the modes are delineated, and the underlying mechanisms are explained in terms of foundation stiffness and additional stress.
