    The document discusses the design of foundations in reinforced concrete structures. It specifies that for severe exposure conditions, the lowest concrete grade should be C40. The nominal cover for foundations should be 40 mm. The maximum free water to cement ratio for foundations is 0.55. A blinding layer under foundations should be 50-100 mm thick with a minimum cement content of 325 kg/m3.
