Some useful guidelines to develop a building foundation
Construction Cost Estimating
MARCH 19, 2019
While building up a foundation for a building, adequate knowledge is required with some particular steps to make sure that the footings will retain the weight of the building through rest of time. The purpose of building foundations is to bear the load of the structure as well as disperse the load to the soil in greater cross sectional area.

MARCH 23, 2012
Some examples of the occurrence of concentrated loads on a slab are a column, particularly on a pad foundation, and wheel loads. Turning the structure upside down we get a flat slab supported by a column, where there is a high concentration of shear force around the column head. Eventually the slab will fail.
