EY4106


Traditional Strip foundation Most commonly used Usual 1050 X 350mm Suitable for –

Average – Good bearing capacity soils

Not suitable for – Very soft clays Silt Peat Badly made – up - ground

Strip Foundation

Strip Foundation

EY4106


Wide Strip foundation Not common Reinforced

Transverse reinforcement Resist tensions

Wider than 900mm Suitable for –

Ground with low bearing capacity Expensive

Strip Foundation

EY4106


Deep Strip foundation

Rests on suitable strata

Excavate 900mm or more

Trench filled within 150mm of ground level

Width depends on depth

Deep Foundation

EY4106


Raft foundation Suitable for –

Low load bearing soils Soft natural ground

Very soft clays Silt Peat

Made – up – ground Average – Good bearing capacity soils instead of strip

foundations

Raft Foundation
