All constructions must be carried by foundation. Foundations are structural elements that connect the structure with soil. This element is not visible to the public eye since it lies down the surface of soil (substructure), and it is main function is to transfer the loads of structure to larger area so that the pressure acts on soil is reduced as we move downward till it becomes less than its bearing capacity. So foundations must be designed as safe as possible to be compatible with its duty and function of bearing.
