In this video I've explained some of the famous building foundation failures that have allowed us to learn new horizons of geotechnical engineering. ================== Foundation Failure ================== A foundation failure is when it is no longer able to support the full weight of the building due to movement of soil and excessive settlement. In such cases, the building may sink or may topple over altogether due to inadequate bearing capacity. Many foundation fail just because of improper assessment of soil conditions existing to the site. In some cases the buildings are constructed on marginal land due to lack of suitable land. ========================== Causes of Foundation Failure ========================== The failure of foundation may be due to poor design, faulty construction, and overloads. The causes of foundation failures are: Construction error Improper soil investigation Fluctuation of ground water table Seismic loads #Foundation_Failure Don't forget to read a complete article about standard proctor test on definecivil.com here: ====================================== https://definecivil.com/standard-proc... ========================================= * Visit our Blogs https://www.iamcivilengineer.com https://definecivil.com * Subscribe to our Channel https://www.youtube.com/c/saadiqbalengr * follow us on twitter https://www.twitter.com/iamcivilengg * follow us on facebook https://www.facebook.com/iamcivilengineerdotcom
