Different types of foundations will be selected based on the soil density, bearing capacity to make the structure strong and durable. However, a small amount…
The bearing capacity of the soil determines the type of foundation selection. The maximum capacity of the soil that supports the structural load without any…
We knew that the improper compaction of concrete would reduce the strength of the concrete element. Same applies for soil. Both the compaction and consolidation…
The primary function of the foundation is to transmit the different types of loads from the structure to the ground soil. There are two…
The aggregates are classified based on shape, size, density, Geographical Origin. We have discussed the same in detail on the classification of aggregates. Based on…
The capacity of the soil that supports the structural load to the ground without any shear failure or settlement is called safe bearing capacity of the soil.
