Types of foundations
#1

The foundation system for a building is the critical link in the transmission of building loads from superstructure to ground.

A foundation is provided for the following purposes:

To distribute the total load coming on the structure on a larger area.
To support the structures.
To give enough stability to the structures against various disturbing forces, such as wind and rain.
To prepare a level surface for concreting and masonry work.
