Pad foundations


Pad foundations


Pad foundations tend to be the simplest and cheapest
 foundation  type and are used when the soil is relatively
strong or when the column loads are relatively light.
They are usually square or rectangular on plan, of uniform
 thickness and generally of reinforced concrete.
They can be stepped or haunched, if material
costs outweigh labour costs.
The reinforcement can vary from nothing at one extreme
through to a heavy steel grillage at the other, with lightly
reinforced sections being the most common. Typical types

are shown in Figs.
