what are the four foundation materials?
Foundation Material. The foundation is usually built in brick work, masonry or concrete under the base of a wall or column. This will enable to transfer the load to the soil in a uniform manner and allow the transition from the structure to the soil. It will depend on the recommendation by the structural engineer. He will select the location, width and depth of every foundation in the structure. For smaller and lightweight structures, the design will be different depending on the material and location of the structure.
