raft design

A raft foundation is a large, flat concrete slab that supports an entire building or structure, spreading the load evenly across the ground. It functions like a giant, solid platform, preventing uneven settling or shifting caused by the weight of the building or variations in ground conditions. This design is especially useful in areas with weak or unstable soil, as it helps distribute forces more effectively. By integrating beams or reinforcement within the slab, it adds strength and stability, ensuring the structure remains level and secure over time.
