Foundations
  • A foundation is the foremost essential part of a
    building or structure. A foundation is a
    structure that transmits loads from a building to
    the ground. In most buildings, foundations extend
    underground. For large buildings, foundations are
    often set as deeply into the earth as is
    possible. Types of foundations include, pier and
    beam foundations, piles, slab on grade
    foundations and below frost line foundations.
    The primary dangers that face foundations are
    ground movement and uneven ground support.
    Flowing water and erosion can remove soil around
    a foundation and cause the foundation to become
    unsupported or even cause complete foundation
    failure. In tropical climates, changes in soil
    moisture can negatively impact foundations,
    causing the foundations to distort or crack. Like
    the age old saying, the foundation is the most
    important part of a building or structure. It
    solidifies the building and maintains the base of
    everything. Without a solidly constructed
    foundation, buildings will be destroyed very
    easily
