Answer Posted / mohamed iqbal
Open foundation is one which is usually constructed very
near to the ground surface to carry the load from a
structure and distribute it to sub soil which has
sufficient bearing strength.
Well foundation or caisson is one in which circular casings
made of concrete or steel are sunk continuously one over
another to reach larger depths when the soil at top is of
less strength to hold the load from the structures.
