foundation is to transmit the safely to the soil
Answers
Many structures like dams, bridges, buildings, roads etc. are constructed by civil engineers to serve our various requirements. All these structures are above ground and are visible. These are called superstructures. Structures apply load on soil on which they rest. If superstructures are placed directly on the soil, the soil gets overstressed and will not be able to support them safely. To safely transfer the load of the structure on soil, some part of the structure is placed below the ground.
This part of the structure is called sub-structure. Sub-structure is usually called foundation. Thus structural elements that connect, bridges, buildings etc. to the ground are called foundations. Foundation of any structure is very important because the safety and reliability of structure depends upon foundation
