Loads on foundation
Live load : Refers to the weight of the applied bodied that are not
permanent parts of the structure. Applied to the structure during part of
its useful life (e.g. people, warehouse goods). Specified by code.
Wind loads : Acts on all exposed parts of the structure. Calculated using
building codes.

Depth and location of foundation

Underground defects
Settlement (mm)
dense soil
Settlement (mm)
qu (1)
qu (2)
When Load reaches qu(1) further settlement takes place with jerks
At q = qu(1) Not so distinct failure surface develops; does not reach
ground surface
At q = qu(2) Failure surface finally reaches ground surface; not distinct
Settlement are more in this case as compared to earlier.
