Abstract:
Foundations are structural elements which transfers load to the underlying soil. Being the most
critical and crucial part, serves as an interface between two completely different materials.
Our basic aim is to understand the geotechnical and structural aspects of foundations to get the
optimum design.
In our project we dealt with both types of foundations.
(a) Shallow foundations
• Spread footing
• Strip footing
• Combined footing
• Mat footing
(b) Deep Foundations
Excel sheet are prepared which gives design charts.
