    Since the dimentions and magnitude of the 2nd is more than the first one, the settlement would not be same roughly. Bcoz the dimension are twice the 1st one, Magnitude is 4 times the 1st one. So bcoz of this, obviously the 2nd footing will be settled more.

    Strip Footing (Wall Footing) :- Strip Footing is one type of shallow foundation, and it is used to transfer load-bearing structure weight to the ground evenly.

    Strip Footing

    Strap Footing:-

    Strap Footing is generally used when the column footing width is restricted due to limitations of the boundary. It is also called as cantilever footing and is one type of combined footing.

    Hi there!

    I’d like to point it out that if foundation movement doesn’t necessarily mean repair is needed, it doesn’t necessarily mean that repair is not needed. Does it?

    Foundations undergo differential or non-differential settlements. Non-differential settlement is not such a big cause of worry, but differential settlement can take your foundations beyond repairability in a few years’ time. They’d need to be completely replaced, which could be very costly. Also, it’ll need underpinning which is not very suitable in some kinds of soil.

    Apart from this, there’s another question that how much is your foundation moving. If it’s a lot then it’s a no brainier. You need to get it repaired. Your country’s codes for Settlement calculation in buildings and foundation design will help you out in this. You can look them up.

    Also, your foundation may either bulge or tilt. That factor also plays a role in deciding whether it needs to be repaired. Lastly, look up if there is a crack developing in the foundation if you could. If it’s a vertical crack, it’s an indication that vertical movents are causing serious problems. Even if there are horizontal cracks, it’s better to get the foundation repaired.

    PS : It’ll be best if you took an experienced foundation engineer to look into the matter.

    universal foundation is pile foundation.

    it is used at all location, so we call it universal foundation in simple way

    basically pile foundation use at

    • where bearing capacity of soil is low
    • where chances of differential settlement of foundation
    • where structural load is very high like bridge or skyskiper building
    • where black cotton soil is present
    • where bearing strata depth is very high
    • where structure need to resist excessive vibration (wind mill)
    • pile foundation we can use every where.

    Most commonly, they use reinforced pile. For e.g., Bandra Worli sea link. The foundations for the BWSL's cable-stayed bridges consist of 120 reinforced concrete piles of 2,000 mm (6.6 ft) diameter. Those for the viaducts consist of 484 piles of 1,500 mm (4.9 ft).

These 604 piles were driven between 6m and 34m into the substrata in geotechnical conditions that varied from highly weathered volcanic material to massive high strength rocks.

    When should we opt for continuous footing?

    The continuous footing is provided to supports more than two columns. It is analogous to strip footing used to support walls. It transfers loads to beams and then beams to ground. Continuous wall footing supports RCC wall and long masonry effectively. Following are some other types of footing; IsolaRead more
