Foundation engineering is a branch of civil engineering that focuses on the design and construction of foundations for structures. It involves the selection of appropriate materials and construction methods, as well as the analysis and design of the foundation system. Foundation engineering is an important part of the overall design of a structure, as it provides the necessary support for the structure and ensures its stability. Foundation engineering also takes into account the environmental conditions of the site, such as soil type, groundwater levels, and seismic activity. Foundation engineering is used in a variety of applications, including residential and commercial buildings, bridges, dams, and other large structures. It is also used in the construction of roads, railways, and other transportation infrastructure.
