The article presents the changes in designing rules of raft foundations according to Eurocodes in relation to structural stiffness of: superstructure–foundations–soil. The results from two numerical models (wall-type and slab-column superstructure) were analyzed. The subject of the analysis was to assess the influence of the raft foundation effective stiffness and Winkler’s spring constant on internal forces distribution in the foundation.
