TYPES OF
FOUNDATION
SYSTEMS
COLUMN
a vertical element, usually a rounded shaft with a capital and a base, which in
most cases serves as a support
PIER
an upright support for a structure or superstructure such as an arch or bridge
WALLS
structural element used to divide or enclose, and, in building construction, to form

FOOTINGS
widened parts of foundation which rest directly on the soil
COLUMNS, PIERS
OR WALLS REST
ON FOOTINGS,
Purpose:
● Provide a level surface capable of supporting occupants, furniture,
equipment and internal partition
Functional requirements:
● Strength and stability
● Resistance to weather and ground moisture
● Durability and free from maintenance
● Fire Resistance
● Resistance to passage of heat
● Resistance to passage of sound

INDEPENDENT
FOOTING
- IS USED WHEN THE
BEARING PARTITION
CARRIES A HEAVY OR
CONCENTRATED LOAD
INTEGRAL
FOOTING
THE SLAB UNDER A
BEARING PARTITION CAN BE
THICKENED TO SERVE AS A
FOOTING. WIDTH AND
DEPTH OF FOOTING
