What is Foundation
Supports load place it and transfers these load to solid ground
What is subsubstructure
Above the ground
what is super structure
It is enclosed and condition below ground level
What is settlement
The shrinkage of a build of a structure or a building into the
Types of settlement

even settlement
Types of foundations
Shallow foundation
deep Foundation
What is shallow Foundation
Transfes structural loads close to the ground
it is quite affordable
simple construction process
what are the types of shallow Foundation
1.Pad Foundation
3.strip Foundation provides a stable continuous Foundation around a structural parameter
3. raft / mat Foundation is it is a reinforce concrete slap that covers a building’s footprints spreading the building weight evenly
what are the types of deep Foundation
Piles
Displacement piles (driven piles)
Gains loads through friction
discord soil rapidly and vertically through frictional Force
Non-displacement piles(drill piles)
boreholes into the Earth’s surface filling concrete or steel into the surface
Goes through weeks surfaces and solid finds the strong soil
the load is supported bearing ends
what is deep Foundation
It reaches fabulo ground level to access material suitable for loading
used when soil near the surface cannot support the
