includes all types where the load is distributed into the
soil.
Spread foundation
is one where the load is distributed into the soil by slender
vertical members of timber, concrete or steel called piles where concrete piers
are carried down through the soil of inadequate bearing power until a
satisfactory foundation bed is reached.
Pier foundation
a soil slab of concrete poured directly into the ground
with footings placed where extra support is needed.
Slab foundation
consist of a footing upon which is placed a concrete wall or a
concrete block wall forming an inverted T and foundation is popular in
structures with a basement.
T foundation
assembles a mat in that the foundation is spread over the
entire area of the building floor.
Matt foundation
distributes the weight of the building over a large area. Concrete is
commonly used for footings because it can be poured to maintain a firm
contact with the supporting soil.
Foting
is to support the load
of a building above the ground line and to transmit the weight of the house to
the footing.
Foundation walls
are vertical members usually made of concrete, brick and
steel or wood. They are used to support the floor system and can be used as
a sole support of the structure.
Pier and columns
a footing which supports a wall by extending along the
entire length of the wall.
Wall footing
one which supports a single column, post, pier, or other
concentrated load
Isolated footing
one which supports two column loads or sometimes
three column loads not in a row
Combined footing
one which supports two column load and consists of
two footings connected together by a beam often called a strap.
Cantilever footing
one which supports a row of three or more column
Continues footings
is one that extends under the entire building area
and supports all the wall and column loads from the building.
