Skyscrapers Bridges Dams
How are these constructions supported?
Why are all these large constructions standing, stable and straight?

Civil Engineering field is enormous
These structures include shallow foundations (footings), deep foundations (piles and drilled piers), retaining walls, dams, embankments, tunnels, etc.
Let’s CONCENTRATE on Foundations
An area of civil engineering that focuses on working under ground is called Geotechnical Engineering
• Geotechnical engineering is a field of engineering concerned with the properties and materials of the Earth.
• Geotechnical engineers work with data from soil and rock samples to specify the requirements for design and construction of engineered structures.

Support the structure’s load
Foundations systems in civil engineering

Provide stability to the structure:
What is the purpose of building a foundation?
a
Reduce the contact stress on the ground
b
Minimize severe deformation (or settlements)Cost efficiency

There are several things to consider when designing/ building a foundation?

Understand our type of soil

Before designing the foundation, soil profile and its behavior are
determined.

Our weight can be found by using a scale
The area of our foot can be found by tracing its outline on graph
paper and counting the squares within the outline
