Elements of foundations Footings Deep systems such as piles and caissons Foundations Walls
Functional Aspects of foundation systems Transfer Loads Dead loads Live Loads
Impact of soils on foundations selection, size, structural design, methods, and performanceBearing Settlement Elastic Consolidation Horizontal forces Frost Heave
Shallow Foundation Types Strip footings Pad or column footings Trench footings Slab on grade with thickened edge Interior footings for bearing walls Thickened slabs
Special footings and issues Step footings Underpinning Sloping sites
Foundation walls Concrete unreinforced Concrete reinforced Concrete block
Control of movement, shrinkage, cracking Control joints Walls Slabs
Deep Foundation Systems Drilled systems Caissons Belled caissons Socketed caissons Auger cast piles
Driven systems Timber piles Steel H piles Precast concrete End bearing Friction piles
