Foundation

Scale used- 1:10
All dimension is MM.


Foundation:
Its the lowest most part of a structure which provides a base for the super-structure. Its the portion of a structure below the ground-level. It supports the whole weight of the structure over large area to avoid over-loading of the soil beneath, provides level surface for building operations and increases stability of the building.

Types of foundations:

  • Spread footings- The base of member transmitting load to the soil is made wider in both directions.
  • Eccentrically loaded footings- The foundation runs along a single direction for the distribution of weight.
