    This document discusses different types of foundations used in construction. It describes shallow foundations which are less than or equal to the width of the structure, including isolated spread footings, combined footings, cantilever or strap footings, and raft foundations. Deep foundations where the depth exceeds the width are also outlined, specifically pile foundations which transfer loads through driven piles into the ground, and pier foundations which are vertical supports to carry heavy loads. The objectives of foundations are to distribute structural loads over a large area, provide support and stability, prevent soil settlement, and transfer loads when near surface soil cannot support the structure.

    FOUNDATION
    INTRODUCTION
    OBJECTS OF FOUNDATIO
    TYPES OF FOUNDATION:-
    a) SHALLOW FOUNDATION
    b) DEEP FOUNDATION
    INTRODUCTION
    The lowest artificially prepared parts of
    the structures which are in direct contact
    with the ground and which transmit the
    loads of the structures to the ground are
    known as the foundation or substructure.
    OBJECTS OF FOUNDATION

     to distribute the total load coming on the structure on a


    larger area.
     provide to support the structure.
     provide to the stability.
     Protection to the settlement of sub soil.
    TYPES OF FOUNDATION

    The two main types of foundation are:-


    Shallow foundation
    Deep foundation
    Types of shallow foundation: Types of deep
    foundation:
    Isolated spread footing 1. pile
    foundation
    Combined footing 2. pier
    (caisson) foundation
    Cantilever or strap footing
    Raft or mat foundation
    SHALLOW FOUNDATION

    • Depth of foundation is less


    then or equal to its width.
    Isolated spread
    footing:- in framed
    structures where several
    columns are to be constructed,
    isolated footing can be
    adopted.
    COMBINED FOOTING

    • this type of footing is


    adopted when the space
    between two columns is so
    small that the foundation
    for individual columns will
    overlap.
    CANTILEVER OR STRAP FOOTING
    • These are similar to
    combined footing, except
    that the footing under
    columns are built
    independently, and are
    joined by strap beam.
    MAT OR RAFT FOUNDATION
    • This is a larger continuous
    footing supporting all the
    columns of the structure.
    This is used when soil
    conditions are poor but
    pile are not used.
    DEEP FOUNDATION
    • Depth of foundation is more
    than or equal to its width.
    1. Pile foundation:- pile is an
    element of construction used
    as foundation. It may be
    driven in the ground vertically
    or some inclination to
    transfer the load safely.
    PILE FOUNDATION IS USED WHEN
    • The soil near the surface doesn’t have sufficient bearing
    capacity.
    • The estimated settlement of the soil exceeds tolerable limits.
    • Differential settlement due to soil variability or non –
    uniform structural loads in excessive.
    • Water table is above.
    2. PIER FOUNDATION
    • It’s a vertical bridge
    support.
    • It’s a foundation for
    carrying a heavy structural
    load which is constructed.
