The factors to be considered for the selection of the type of foundation for a given situation are as follows :
- The characteristics of the superstructure and the superimposed loads,
- Site conditions, type of soil and its allowable bearing capacity,
- Materials and machinery/equipment available for construction, and
- Relative costs.
Foundations can broadly be classified into following two categories :
- Shallow foundations, and
- Deep foundations.
