INTRODUCTION :
• The main function of foundation is to transfer the loads from superstructure to, the
underlying soil or rock over a large area at reduced pressure.
• It serves as an interface between superstructure and substructure. Generally foundations are
classified as shallow foundation and deep foundation.
• A proper design of foundation system requires the following
(i) purpose of engineering structures, possible service life loadings, various forms of
framing, soil profile, construction approaches, construction costs, and clients/owner’s needs
(ii) design without affecting environment and enough margin of safety with respect to
unexpected events and uncertainty in determination of engineering properties of soil and
satisfactory tolerable risk level to all the parties, i.e., public at large, the landlord, and the
engineer.
• Additional contemplations that should be taken into account vary as per particular
requirements and purposes, such as, foundation in extreme climate conditions, foundation on
loose soils, foundations for different loading conditions like overturning, sliding or uplift,
consideration for future expansion, production against corrosion or other injurious material
present in soil, suitability with respect to local environment standards etc
OBJECTIVES :
To identify the factor that contributes to the problems / defects of
foundations construction field operation.
The aim of this project, investigate cost effective remedial approaches
for different failure conditions of foundation.
The study of safety aspects related to foundation in construction.
Investigate methods with least cost that they cause increase in bearing
capacity of shallow foundations.

Methodology :
The basic principle of any design is that the product should meet three basic
requirements namely, (i) function, (ii) cost, and (iii) reliability. While the terms
function and cost are simple in principle, reliability concerns various technical
factors relating to serviceability and safety.
As the above three criteria are interrelated, and because of the normal constraints
on cost, compromise with function and reliability generally have to be made.
In considering the means of achieving the above requirements it is necessary to
take into account both the limitations and the opportunities arising from the
availability of construction materials and components and of construction skills.
The form or configuration of the construction is the geometrical arrangement of
all of the elements, i.e., structure, architecture, equipment, and contents.
In order to achieve reliable earthquake resistance the form of construction
should be decided from consideration of the following factors: (1) Simplicity and
symmetry, (2) Length of plan, (3) Shape in elevation, (4) Uniformity and
continuity, (5) Stiffness, (6) Failure mode, and (7) Foundation conditions.
