Building Construction PDF

The document discusses different aspects of building construction including foundations and soils. It addresses key topics like: 1. Bearing capacity of soil refers to the ability of sub-soil to support structural loads without yielding. 2. When soil has low bearing capacity, reinforced concrete footings or grillage foundations are used to distribute heavy loads. 3. Pile foundations are generally used when soil is compressible, water-logged or made-up ground.
