Types Of Footing In Building Construction

Foundation is an important part of the structure that transfers the structure’s load to the foundation soil. The foundation distributes the load over a large area. So, pressure on the soil does not exceed its allowable bearing capacity and restricts the settlement of the structure within the permissible limits.

Foundation increases the stability of the structure. The settlement of the structure should be as uniform as possible and it should be within tolerable limits. (footings).
