"Building Foundations : Everything You Need to Know About Foundation Types"

Here’s a brief overview of foundation types used in construction: Shallow Foundations: Placed near the ground surface, these are used when the topsoil is strong enough. Slab-on-Grade: A single concrete slab on the ground. Spread Footings: Concrete pads under walls or columns. Strip Footings: Continuous concrete strips for walls. Mat Foundation: A thick slab covering the entire building footprint. Deep Foundations: Used when surface soil is weak, these extend deep into the ground. Piles: Long columns driven deep into the ground. Caissons: Large-diameter drilled shafts filled with concrete. Screw Piles: Steel shafts screwed into the ground. Specialized Foundations: Designed for unique structures. Raft Foundation: A large concrete slab supporting the entire building. Pile Slab Foundation: A combination of piles and a concrete slab. Floating Foundation: Used in weak soil, where the structure "floats" on compacted soil. Each foundation type is chosen based on factors like soil strength, building load, and environmental conditions. #buildingprocess #constructionjourney #building #constructionproject #constructionlife #projectmanagement #construction #commercial #types of foundation#foundation types used in building
