2. Types of Foundations & Construction Metod

3. • This presentation covers various types of
foundations used in construction, focusing on
shallow and deep foundations, and their
applications.
Introduction

4. Shallow foundations are typically used when the load of a
structure can be supported by soil at a relatively shallow depth.
They are usually suitable for lighter buildings and include types
such as spread footings, mat foundations, and slab-on-grade.
Their advantages include simplicity in construction, cost-
effectiveness, and successful load distribution across a large area.

Foundations

5. DEEP FOUNDATIONS
Deep foundations are required when surface soils are not
capable of supporting the loads of a structure. These
foundations transfer loads to deeper, more stable soil
layers. Common types include piles, piers, and caissons.
Deep foundations are often employed for skyscrapers,
bridges, and buildings in challenging soil conditions,
offering superior stability and load-bearing capacity.

6. Specialized
Foundations
Specialized foundations cater to unique structural needs
and specific conditions where conventional foundations
fall short. They encompass types such as underpinning,
seismic bases, and foundations for wind turbines, each
tailored to different soil, environmental, and load
scenarios. These foundations significantly improve safety
and performance, especially in demanding settings
vulnerable to earthquakes or varied terrain.

7. Traditional construction methods often include masonry, timber
framing, and reinforced concrete techniques that have been used
for centuries. These methods emphasize craftsmanship and local
materials. They are well-understood, often cost-effective, and
provide robust structures. However, they may be less adaptable to
modern needs and technologies, which can limit construction
efficiency and speed in comparison to newer methods.

Methods

8. Modern Techniques
Modern construction techniques incorporate advanced
technology and methodologies such as precast
concrete, modular construction, and Building
Information Modeling (BIM). These methods enhance
efficiency, reduce waste, and improve safety. They also
allow for faster building processes and integrated
project delivery, contributing to sustainable practices
and often leading to cost savings over time.

9. Innovative Materials
Innovative construction materials include
sustainable options like recycled materials, green
concrete, and advanced composites. These materials
aim to reduce the environmental impact of
construction while maintaining durability and
strength. They allow for new design possibilities and
enhance energy efficiency, responding to the
growing demand for sustainable building practices.
Innovations such as 3D printing materials and smart
materials are also reshaping industry standards.

10. Understanding various types of foundations and
construction methods is crucial for effective building
practices. Each method and material offers unique
benefits tailored to specific structural needs, ultimately
impacting project viability, sustainability, and safety.
