III) RAFT FOUNDATION :

designed to “float” on poor ground while distributing local heavy loads which come down upon it, to an acceptable final ground pressure. These are used to spread the load of the superstructure over a large base to reduce the load per unit area being imposed on the ground and this is particularly useful where low bearing capacity soils are encountered and where individual columns loads are heavwhere individual columns loads are heavy.
