Foundation design : principles and practices

---

THE PARABLE OF THE WISE AND FOOLISH BUILDERS
/ will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice. He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.
Luke 6:47-49 NIV (circa AD 60)

A wise engineer once said "A structure is no stronger than its connections." Although this statement usually invokes images of connections between individual structural members, it also applies to those between a structure and the ground that supports it. These connec¬tions are known as its foundations. Even the ancient builders knew that the most carefully designed structures can fail if they are not supported by suitable foundations. The Tower of Pisa in Italy (perhaps the world's most successful foundation "failure") reminds us of this truth.

Although builders have recognized the importance of firm foundations for countless generations, and the history of foundation construction extends for thousands of years, the discipline of foundation engineering as we know it today did not begin to develop until the late nineteenth century.
