1) Shallow foundations are used when the top soil layers can support applied loads with acceptable settlement. Types include spread footings, combined footings, strap-beam footings, wall footings, strip footings, and raft foundations.
2) Deep foundations are used when top soils are weak and cannot support structural loads. Types include piles, piers, and caissons, which transmit loads to deeper stronger soil layers.
3) The design of an isolated spread footing involves calculating the area and dimensions of plain concrete based on allowable soil bearing capacity, then determining reinforced concrete dimensions, contact pressure, and checking critical sections for moment, shear, and punching.

soil can support the applied loads with accepted
settlement. They can take any form of the followings:
