Soil conditions are the most important factors that affect the design and implementation of the foundation. In general, soil properties such as soil resistance, soil type, groundwater level, and load transfer path to the soil are very important for foundation design and selection. Some of the important factors that should match the soil conditions in the foundation design are:
Soil resistance: Soil resistance refers to the resistance of the soil to the application of loads such as the weight of the building and other loads. If the soil resistance is low, the foundation of the foundation should be designed deeper in order to transfer the building loads to the soil.
Type of soil: The type of soil is also very important. Soils such as gravel, sand, clay, and silt are soils that are commonly used in foundation design. Each type of soil has special characteristics that must be considered in the design and implementation of the foundation.
Groundwater level: Groundwater level also affects the foundation design. If the groundwater level is very high, the foundation of the foundation should be designed deeper to avoid serious damage to the structure.
The path of load transfer to the soil: The path that the load is transferred to the soil is also very important in the design of the foundation. If the load to the soil is not uniform and concentrated, the foundation must be designed in such a way that it can transfer the loads to the soil in a balanced and appropriate manner.
In general, for the design and implementation of the foundation, the soil conditions must be carefully examined and according to these conditions and characteristics of the soil, the appropriate foundation must be selected and designed. For example, for soft and flat soils, the foundation of the foundation should be designed deeper in order to properly transfer the building loads to the soil. Additionally, for soils that are highly pasty, it may be necessary to design a pasty foundation.
