Foundation Design and Geotechnical Engineering
In engineering, a foundation is the element of a structure which connects it to the ground, transferring loads from the structure to the ground. … Foundation engineering is the application of soil mechanics and rock mechanics (geotechnical engineering) in the design of foundation elements of structures.
Our earthquake and geotechnical expert shall consider several options of foundation system, compare cost of each option and select the most economical foundation system.
- Classification of foundation design:

i. Wall Footing
ii. Isolated column/Column Footing
iii. Combined Footing
iv. Cantilever (Strap) Footing
v. Mat (Raft) Foundation
B. Deep Foundation
i. Pile Foundation
