ABSTRACT
The function of any foundation is to safely sustain and transmit to the ground on which it rests the combined dead, imposed and wind loads in such a manner as not to cause any settlement or other movement which would impair the stability or cause damage to any part of the building. Strip foundation A technical drawing of a strip foundation features a vertical wall built through the ground level with loading transmitted to the foundations and a foundation at an angle of 45 degrees where the loads are transmitted. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781003392996/e9f4d594-7b22-49c8-9a4c-ea0b04302f1f/content/fig7_1.tif" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
