Foundation In engineering, a foundation is the element of a structure which connects it to the ground, and transfers loads from the structure to the ground. It is the bottom most part of the structure and the last member to transfer load. Foundation must be designed to prevent excessive settlement of the structure. Foundations are generally considered either shallow or deep. However there is further classification of the foundation. A deep foundation is a type of foundation that transfers building loads to the earth farther down from the surface than a shallow foundation does to a subsurface layer or a range of depths. Deep foundation is required to carry loads from a structure through weak compressible soils or fills on to stronger and less compressible soils or rocks at depth, or for functional reasons. Deep foundations are founded too deeply below the finished ground surface for their base bearing capacity to be affected by surface conditions, this is usually at depths >3
Tekla Structural Designer is an advanced software used for Structural Analysis and Design of a Building. In Tekla we can do detailing of steel structures as well as RCC structures. We can create RCC buildings and we can insert the rebars in Tekla structures Designer software. We can also do the form works and structural drawing without the help of any other software .
