Study of foundations in engineering is very relevant since these elements form the basis of virtually any building. Piles are foundation elements that use, in many cases, basically lateral friction as a mechanism for transferring loads, which depends on the surface contact area between the structure and the soil. Branched natural systems have large surface areas, such as tree’s roots, that use its branched geometry as an anchor system to increase its ability to withstand requests, like self weight and wind loads. This research presents a branched structure model based on fractal geometry, that may be used as an alternative solution for foundations. The aim of this research is to compare the performance of branched foundation models ...
