Answer Posted / santo okello
There are various causes of failure of foundations;viz
1-Uneven loading of the structre.
2-poor selection of the foundation due to wrong or lack of
soil analysis
3-poor drainage system within the site.
Remedies
1-for uneven loading,during design state,live and dead
loads should be carefully distributed by introduction of
columns,beams.
2-proper soil analysis should be carried out,this will give
the inside of the type of foundation to be adapted for a
particular structure.
3-for poor drainage,this can be avoided by proper leveling
of the site prior to construction,use of land drains or use
of water repellant cement for the foundation concrete
