The more the tree is high and big the more it has bigger and deeper roots; we can say the same thing in buildings, beside the nature of soil , water conditions and the shape of our building we need to know the seismic zone to be able to define what kind of foundation we have to use.
There are two roles for the foundation
- Transmits the dead loud and the live loads to the soil
- Anchor the superstructure
In big project and risky places it is recommended to have a geotechnical engineer to determine the size of the optimal foundation.
