A foundation is a structure that transfers all the loads that created by man made of nature-made events to the earth. A foundation is built in both residential and commercial buildings and they are classified in different categories: Shallow foundation that is typically used in residential areas that is embedded into a soil, Deep foundation that is commonly used in large buildings by using a load from a structure to transfer it through an upper weak layer of soil to a stronger, deeper layer of soil, Base-isolating foundation is a collection of structural elements intended to protect the building from an earthquake and Monopile foundation is a type of deep foundation where it is embedded into the ground commonly seen in bridges or wind farms. A foundation is also the starting point of every construction process for this is the bread while the building is the butter. A good foundation laid on the ground is the basis on how long or durable a house or a building can stand. That is why foundation contractors are hired by general contractors to do this type of construction.
