Definition
Footings are structural members used to support columns and walls
and to transmit and distribute their loads to the soil in such a way
that the load bearing capacity of the soil is not exceeded, excessive
settlement, differential settlement,or rotation are prevented and
adequate safety against overturning or sliding is maintained.
Depth and location of foundation depends on 1. Zone of significant volume changes in soil.
2. Adjacent structures and property lines.
3. Ground water
4. Underground defects
Depth and location of foundationDepth and location of foundation
Zone of significant volume changes in soil :
Clays having high plasticity shrink and swell considerably
up on drying and wetting respectively.Volume change is
greatest near ground. Decreases with increasing depth.
Volume changes usually insignificant below a depth from
1.5-3.0 m and does not occur below.

Depth and location of foundationDepth and location of foundation
Structures may be damaged by the construction of new foundations, as a result of vibrations, undermining by excavation or lowering of the water table. After new foundations have been constructed, the (new) loads they place on the soil may cause settlement of previously existing structures as a result of new stress pattern in the surrounding soil.
In general, deeper the foundations and closer to the old structure, greater will be the potential for damage to old structures.

Types of Foundation
Types of Foundation Shallows Foundations Deep FoundationsShallows Foundations
Shallow foundations are generally where the founding depth (Df) is less than the width of the footing and less than 3m. Shallow foundations are used when surface soils are sufficiently strong and stiff to support the imposed loads; they are generally unsuitable in weak or highly compressible soils, such as poorly-compacted fill, peat, recent lacustrine and alluvial deposits, etc.
FootingFooting
Definition
Footings are structural members used to support columns and walls and to transmit and distribute their loads to the soil in such a way that the load bearing capacity of the soil is not exceeded, excessive settlement, differential settlement,or rotation are prevented and adequate safety against overturning or sliding is maintained.
Types of FootingTypes of Footing
Wall footings are used to support structural walls that carry loads for other floors or to support nonstructural walls.

Types of Footings
Pad or column footings (Isolated )
Used to support single columns. This is one of the most economical types of footings and is used when columns are spaced at relatively long distances
13
Combined FootingUsually support two columns, or three columns not in a row.
Combined footings are used when tow columns are so close that single footings cannot be used or when one column is located at or near a property
Types of Footings
14
Cantilever or strap footings
Consist of two single footings connected with a beam or a strap and support two single columns. This type replaces a combined footing and is more economical.

Types of footings
Continuous footings
Support a row of three or more columns. They have limited
width and continue under all columns.
16
Types of footings
Mat (Raft) footings (Thickened slabs)
Consists of one footing usually placed under the entire building
area. They are used, when soil bearing capacity is low, column
loads are heavy single footings cannot be used, piles are not used
and differential settlement must be reduced.
Raft foundations are used to spread the load from a structure over a
large area, normally the entire area of the structure. They are
used when column loads or other structural loads are close
together and individual pad foundations would interact.
17
A raft foundation normally consists of a concrete slab which extends over the entire loaded area. It may be stiffened by ribs or beams incorporated into the foundation.
Raft foundations have the advantage of reducing differential settlements as the concrete slab resists differential movements between loading positions. They are often needed on soft or loose soils with low bearing capacity as they can spread the loads over a larger area.

Types of Foundation
Deep Foundations
Deep foundations are those with depths >3 m below finished ground level. Deep foundations can be used to transfer the loading to a deeper, more competent strata at depth if unsuitable soils are present near the surface.
They are used when there are weak (“bad”) soils near the surface or when loads are very high, such as very large skyscrapers. They derive their support from deeper soils or bedrock
20
Pile foundations
Are relatively long, slender members that transmit foundation loads through soil strata of low bearing capacity to deeper soil or rock strata having a high bearing capacity. They are used for economic, constructional or soil condition considerations, when it is desirable to transmit loads to strata beyond the practical reach of shallow foundations.
In addition to supporting structures, piles are also used to anchor structures against uplift forces and to assist structures in resisting lateral and overturning forces.
Common Types of Deep Foundations

Types of Foundation
Pile caps are thick slabs used to tie a group of piles together to support and transmit column loads to the piles.
Typical pile foundation
23
PiersAre foundations for carrying a heavy structural load which is
constructed in-situ in a deep excavation.
CaissonsAre a form of deep foundation which are constructed above
ground level, then sunk to the required level by excavating or dredging material from within the caisson.
24
Compensated foundations
Are deep foundations in which the relief of stress due to excavation is approximately balanced by the applied stress due to the foundation. The net stress applied is therefore very small. A compensated foundation normally comprises a deep basement.
Distribution of Soil PressureDistribution of Soil Pressure
When the column load P is applied on the centroid of the footing, a uniform pressure is assumed to develop on the soil surface below the footing area.
However the actual distribution of the soil is not uniform, but depends on may factors especially the composition of the soil and degree of flexibility of the footing.
Distribution of Soil Pressure
Soil pressure distribution in cohesionless soil. Soil pressure distribution in cohesive soil.
Design ConsiderationsDesign Considerations
Footings must be designed to carry the column loads and transmit them to the soil safely while satisfying code limitations.
