 INTRODUCTION

Function of a foundation is to transfer the structural loads from a

building safely into the ground.

A larger and heavier building of masonry, steel, or concrete would

require its foundation to go deeper into earth such that the soil or the
rock on which it is founded is competent to carry its massive loads.
• Purpose of foundation

I. To distribute the load of the structure over a large bearing area so as

to bring the intensity of load within the safe bearing capacity of soil.
II. To load the bearing surface at a uniform rate to avoid differntial
setlement.
III. To prevent the lateral movement of supporting material.
IV. To attain a level and firm bed for building operations.

V. To increase the stability of the structure as a whole.

• Foundation components
• Foundation components

 "Foundation Components are the completion of the system. The

foundation components distribute all the loads to the earth. Loads
are transmitted to the foundations of masonry buildings by the
load bearing walls and hence continuous rather than isolated
footings are usually appropriate.
 • Process of foundation

i. Site preparation
ii. Site layout
iii. Excavation
iv. Rules of thumb
o Site preparation

i. Remove tress and any debris

ii. Remove top soil ( 4-6” below surface )
o Site layout

i. Ensure lot lines are known and setbacks are complete

ii. Layout building perimeter
iii. Use batter boards
iv. Establish building corner and building perimeter
v. Use surveying instruments
o Excavation

i. Excavate foundation along line created by batter boads

ii. Excavate remainder of soil inside perimeter
iii. Don’t excavate inside soil if slab on ground
iv. If deep foundation, taper edges to prevent collapse
v. If soil unstable, or very deep – use shoring
o Rules of thumb

i. Footing shall be below frost line

ii. Footing width usually 2x height
iii. Typical size ( 24” wide X 12” tall )
iv. Rebar is usually 3” from edge of concrete
v. Crawl spaces should have rigid insulation along the
interior face of the foundation wall
• Types of foundation

I. Shallow foundation
II. Deep foundation
 • Shallow foundation

 A shallow foundation is a type of building

foundation that transfers building loads to
the earth very near to the surface, rather
than to a subsurface layer or a range of
depths as does a deep foundation.
• Types of Shallow foundation

 Individual footing or isolated footing

 Combined footing
 Strip foundation
 Raft or mat foundation
 • Deep foundation

 A deep foundation is a type of foundation that

transfers building loads to the earth farther down from
the surface than a shallow foundation does to a
subsurface layer or a range of depths.
• Types of Deep foundation

 Pile foundation
 Drilled shafts or caissons
 CONCLUSION

 If the foundation of the structure is deeper into the soil, then the

structure will be less likely to be knocked over and there will be a
smaller gap between the structure and the soil because the tower
is more anchored into the soil." was proven. The smaller the
angle, the sturdier the building.
