PAD FOUNDATION

ADVANTAGES Shallow foundation, so little excavation required

Economic

Reinforcement for tension and shear can be added

Can be designed to accommodate tight site

Easy to construct

DISADVANTAGES Size can be very large

Limited foundation suitability to point loads of framed buildings

Require bigger support for deep excavations

Weak against forces

Separation foundations make this design weak

PAD FOUNDATIONSUITABILITY - Mostly used in framed building construction

- Does not require much excavation

- Bearing capacity of ground is sufficient at relatively low depths

- Uniform thickness

- Can be used to carry point loads or can be designed
