Building Construction/civil Engineerin PAGE. IMPROVING OUR YOUNG ENGINEERS WITH THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF CONSTRUCTION/TECHNOLOGY. My dear good people of this great Nation Nigeria.

The reason of creating this page is to bring up our young Engineers with the require basic knowledge about building.

2)foundation shuld b designed so that setlement into d ground is limited nd uniform under d whole of d building.some setlement of a building on a soil foundation is inevitable as d increasing load on d foundation,as d building s excreted it compresses d soil.this setlement shuld b limited to avoid damage to service pipe nd drains connected to the building.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENT OF FOUNDATION
1)foundation shuld b designed to transmit load of the building to the ground so that their s at most only a limited settlement of the building into the ground.A building whose foundation s on sand rock wil sufer knw measurable setlement but building on soil wil suffer setlement into d ground by d compresion of d soil under d foundation load.

FACTORS THAT DETERMINES THE CHOICE OF FOUNDATION
1)Soil type
2)site condition(topography of d area)
3)type of construction
4)magnitude of d load nd density
5)Economic nd constructional consideration
6)possible weather condition eg rain fall

PURPOSE OF FOUNDATION
1)to distribute d load of d structure over a large bearing nd so to bring intensity of loading withing the safe bearing capacity of the soil lying beneath
2)to load d bearing surface at a uniform rate so as to prevent unequal setlement
3)to prevent d lateral movement of th supporting material
4)to secure level nd firm bed 4 building operation
5)to increase d stability of d structure

4)PILE FOUNDATION:This foundation is the most preferable foundation for the building like skyscrapers.this is the costiest and is use for high rise buildings.this type of foundation requires a specialist engineer to do.the soil is bore deep and filled with concrete,bcx it has to withstand the load of multistory building.

3)RAFT FOUNDATION:This is used where the area is sandy and loose sand texture.this foundation seem to be the costiest than d 2 above.it s used in water logged areas,but with the building of less storey's.this has the ground beam from the foundation base and it is attached with the ground floor slab.

Types of Foundation.
1)strip
2)pad
3)Raft
4)pile
EXPLANATION
STRIP FOUNDATION:This is the most used common type of foundation for small buildings,where u have the strong soil base and non water logged areas.and it is also the cheapest form to afford.
2)PAD FOUNDATION:This type of foundation include the isolation of columbs(pillar)which is used from the foundation to support the slab.
