What is the difference between Wraft and file foundation and where these are used ?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
If load of the structure is not huge enough and need not a deep foundation but the quality of soil also not very good in a shallow depth then we go for raft foundation. Where the load is quite high and need a good bearing capacity then we go for pile foundation.

Answer / asif
Raft Foundation
1.Raft foundation is shallow foundation ( depth is less than width )
2.commonly used high rised buildings
3.Suitable for low & High bearing capacity of soil
4.Load is spread large area in uniform way
5 Advantage of different settlement of soil
Pile Foundation
1.Pile foundation is deep foundation ( Depth is more than depth)
2.Normally used coastal area's
3.It is used low bearing capacity (it transfer load into hard soil or rock in loose soil area)
