OBJECTIVES
► To know the construction of foundation
► To know the different types foundations
► To know which type of foundation is suitable for

different types soils.
FOUNDATION
Every structure consists of two parts:
►
►

Sub-structure or foundation and
Super structure

Foundation : It is the lowest part of a structure which is
constructed below the ground level.

The function of foundation is to transmit the
weight of super structure to the sub soil.

ISOLATED FOOTING
►
►

It is provided under columns to transfer the load safely to
bed soil
These footings may be slab, stepped or sloped ones.

COMBINED FOOTING
►
►

A combined footing is the one which supports two columns and it may
be rectangular or trapezoidal in plan.
The aim is to get uniform pressure distribution under the footing. For
this the center of gravity of the footing area should coincide with the
center of gravity of the combined loads of the two columns.

Combined footings are used in the following situations:
►
►
►

When the columns are very near to each other so that their footings
overlap.
When the bearing capacity of the soil is less, requiring more area
under individual footing.
When the end column is near a property line so that its footing canot
spread in that direction.

COMBINED FOOTING
MAT FOUNDATION
► It is most suitable foundation when the soil at the

site proposed for the construction of a structure is
erratic, soft clay, made up ground or marshy land
with low bearing capacity.
► Mat foundation is constructed of RCC slab
covering the whole area of the bottom of the
structure. The slab is provided with steel
reinforcing bars in both directions. When column
loads are heavy, the main beams and secondary
beams are provided monolithically with raft slab.

PILE FOUNDATIONS

►
►
►
►

Pile foundation is more commonly used in building
construction.
Pile foundations are used in the following situations:
The load of the super structure is heavy and its distribution
is uneven
The top soil has poor bearing capacity
The subsoil water level is high
There is large fluctuations in subsoil water level
Canal or deep drainage lines exist near the foundation
The structure is situated on the sea shore or river bed

FRICTION PILE:These piles are used to transfer loads to a
PILE:
depth of a friction load carrying material by
means of skin friction along the length of
pile.

FRICTION
PILE
COMPACTION PILE: These piles are used to compact loose
soils, thus increasing their bearing capacity.
The
compaction piles themselves do not carry any
load.
Hence they may be of weaker material (sand).
The pile tube, driven to compact the soil, is gradually
taken out and sand is filled in its place thus forming a
‘sand pile’.

COMPACTION PILE
UNDER REAMED PILE
►

►

In black cotton soils and other expansive type of soils,
buildings often crack due to relative ground movements.
This is caused by alternate swelling and shrinking of the
soil due to changes in its moisture content.
The under-reamed pile is used to safe guard this
movement effectively. Generally this foundation is used for
machine foundation, factory building, transmission line
towers and other tall structures also.

Well foundation is a box of timber, metal, reinforced
concrete or masonry which open both at the top and
bottom, and is used for building for building and bridge
foundations.
