    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.

    A continuous footing is the one which supports more than two columns. This footing is also called as strip footing and is analogous to the strip footing for wall. The loads from the individual columns are transferred either directly to the footing slab, or through a longitudinal beam running longitudinally when the loads are heavy.

    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.

    Difference between Black Water and greywater:


    Black Water:

    • Blackwater is the best water from bathrooms and toilets that contains faecal matter and urine.

    • Waterproof kitchens and dishwashers are also considered Black Water due to the contamination of pathogens.

    • It is also referred to as she waits for groundwater and can carry diseases and bacteria both of which could be harmful.

    Treatment of blackwater:

    • The biological or chemical treatment and infection are required for treating Black Water.

    Greywater:

    • Greywater is the best water that comes from sinks, washing machines, bathtubs and showers.

    • Greywater contains a very low level of contamination and making it easier to treat and process.

    • Recycled greywater is commonly used in irrigation and constructed wetlands as long as no harmful chemicals are present.

    Treatment of Greywater

    • Greywater can be reused in cartoons with little or no treatment subsurface irrigation system to evenly spread water around in the garden.

    • This method is very safe for treated greywater.

    Thank you.

    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.
