Understanding Raft Foundations: A Comprehensive Guide
A raft foundation is a thick, reinforced concrete slab that covers the entire base area of a structure, akin to a solid floor. This type of foundation is particularly useful in scenarios where the area covered may exceed the actual contact area, which often depends on the soil’s bearing capacity.
The reinforcing bars within the slab are strategically placed, running perpendicular to each other in both top and bottom layers, providing excellent structural support.
