No matter what
building structure you are planning attention must be paid on building a strong
foundation to ensure it is holding the load of building strongly. The interface
between the structure and the earth, the foundation of a building must be
capable to adequately transfer the worst load case scenario from structure to
soil. And worst load case scenario is combination of loads starting with
building’s own weight to its inhabitants and all objects imposing the gravity loads.
Since foundation is
base of the building and any problem associated no matter how small must never
be ignored. Generally, foundations are built to function throughout the life of
the building. But under certain conditions like exposure to adverse soil
conditions (sinkhole presence) might contribute to unstable foundation resulting
in downward movement or lateral movement. As the problem worsens the problem
becomes more visible with diagonal stair step cracks, long horizontal foundation
crack. Any foundation problem deserves immediate treatment before the damage
ends up being irreversible.
Foundation
