FOUNDATION is the lowest supporting layer of a structure. * Purpose: Transfer the building load to the soil. * The size of the foundation is determined by the weight of the building and the load bearing capabilities of the soil. * When the load bearing capabilities of the soil is low‚ a footing is usually used. Types of Foundation 1. Shallows Foundations * Shallow foundations are those founded near to the finished ground surface; generally where the founding depth (Df) is less than
