- Don’t permit to build the other type of foundation in areas where soil characteristics and conditions of their occurrence weak.
- The load must be anticipated to be relatively small for construction.

When the height of member is less than 3times the least lateral dimensions of column it is termed as pedestal whereas when the value is greater than 3times least lateral dimension it is termed as column. For Pedestals (whose effective length is less than three times the least lateral dimension) theRead more
When the height of member is less than 3times the least lateral dimensions of column it is termed as pedestal whereas when the value is greater than 3times least lateral dimension it is termed as column.
For Pedestals (whose effective length is less than three times the least lateral dimension) the minimum reinforcement is specified as 0.15 percent cross sectional area of concrete.
