Why different types of foundations?
CE 483 - Foundation Engineering - 3. Types of Foundations 4
What type of foundation you choose will depend upon many factors:
• Structure: type, use, loadings, code requirement.
• Ground: layers, subsurface soil condition, groundwater.
• Cost

Definition
CE 483 - Foundation Engineering - 3. Types of Foundations
• Shallow foundations are those founded near to the finished ground surface; generally where the founding depth (Df) is less than the width of the footing (B) and generally less than 3m.
• Shallows 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, and alluvial deposits, etc.

Deep foundations

• Deep foundations are those founding too deeply below the finished ground surface for their base bearing capacity to be affected by surface conditions, this is usually at depths >3 m below finished ground level.
• Deep foundations are used when there are weak soils near the surface or when loads are very high, such as very large skyscrapers.
• Deep foundations derive their support from deeper soils or bedrock.

Based on method of installation:

Bored or replacement piles
- length can be varied, very long lengths possible - removed soil can be compared with design data - penetration tests can be carried out in boreholes - very large bases can be possibly formed - drilling tools can break up boulders, obstructions,.. - little noise and vibration during construction - no ground heave
• Advantages:
- piles liable to squeezing and necking in soft soil - special techniques required for concreting in water
bearing ground - concrete cannot be inspected after installation - enlarged bases cannot be formed in collapseable soil - cannot be easily extended above ground - boring may cause instability and settlement of
adjacent structures
• Disadvantages:

• These are deep foundations in which the relief of stress due to excavation is approximately balanced by the applied stress due to the foundation.
Original Site
Soft soil susceptible to settlement or low
bearing strength
Remove soil equal in
weight to the building
Soil pressure at this level is no greater than when original soil was
in place
• The net stress applied is therefore very small. A compensated foundation normally comprises a deep basement.
