What are the Different Types of Building Foundations In civil construction, different types of foundations are used for different types of structures & loads. The foundations are mainly classified into two types i.e. Shallow foundation & Deep Foundation. Shallow Foundation Individual Footing Combined Footing Strip/wall Footing Mat/raft Foundation Deep Foundation Pile Foundation Caissons Foundation Shallow Foundation Such type of foundation …

What Are The Differences Between Footing & Foundation Footing and foundation both are some basic terminologies used in civil engineering. But there are still some people who don’t understand the difference between them. If you are one of them then this is the topic for you. A most simple explanation could be that all footings are foundations but all foundations …

Difference Between Gears & Sprocket A very common question & a very confusing one, when you ask someone about the differences between Gears & sprockets. They would simply refer to it as one & same thing or they would call it a wheel with teeth because they visually look the same but if you actually observe it thoroughly you will …
