[00:00:00]Welcome. Today, we're discussing building foundations. Let me show you this diagram. The foundation transfers the building's load to the ground. A strong foundation ensures stability. The foundation is the most critical part part of any structure.

[00:00:15]It must be designed to handle the entire load of the building safely. Let's explore the different types of foundations together.

[00:00:23]The most common is the shallow foundations. Shallow foundations are built near the ground surface. They include spread footings, strip footings, and mat foundations. They are used when the soil is strong and loads are low.

[00:00:33]They are placed close to the ground surface, typically within a depth of 3 m. Common examples include spread footings for individual columns by the best and mat foundations for large structures. Deep foundations. Deep foundations transfer loads to deeper soil layers. The main types are piles and caissons. Piles are driven into the ground, while caissons are cast in place. They ensure stability. Deep foundations are essential when surface soil was too weak to support heavy structures. Piles are long, slender columns driven deep into the ground to reach stable soil layers. Thank you for watching.
