What is a Foundation?
A foundation is the system on which the home or building sits. It's crucial because it supports the entire structure, ensuring it stands upright, remains level, and resists natural forces such as wind, seismic activity, and the pressure exerted by the surrounding soil.
Types of Foundations
-
Shallow Foundations:
-
Spread Footing Foundations: The base of the structure is wider than the walls, distributing the load over a larger area.
-
Slab-on-Grade Foundations: A single layer of concrete, several inches thick, sits on crushed gravel, with the edges thicker to provide strength where the load is more concentrated.
-
Mat-slab Foundations: A thick concrete slab supporting a number of columns or walls.
-
-
Deep Foundations:
-
Pile Foundations: Long, cylindrical columns of concrete or steel that are driven or drilled into the ground.
-
Drilled Shafts (Caissons): Deep cylindrical holes drilled into the ground and filled with concrete.
-
Augercast Piles: Created by drilling into the ground, then pumping in concrete as the auger is removed.
