D.1

1. The function of foundations is to carry the weight of the structure to the stratum of
soil on which it rests.
2. The best of foundations bed is rock, because it will support bearing pressures up to 15
tons per square foot.
3. Sand will support an equal weight if the lateral pressure can be held back.
4. Reinforced concrete is a construction material that made from concrete and
reinforcing steel. In this topic, reinforced concrete is a material that usually used to
make a foundation.
5. If the foundation bed is not strong enough to support the structure, the structure or the
building will collapse

3. Several types of foundation beds may be used for a construction. (FALSE)
4. Locality is important to choose the type of foundation bed. (TRUE)
5. Sand and gravel do not support loads of the same weight. (FALSE in a condition =
the lateral pressure can be held back)
6. Dry clay support the least load. (TRUE)
7. Footings lie after the bed. (TRUE)
8. Piles and piers are solutions to weak soil. (TRUE)
9. Stonger substrata are usually deeper than the weak strata. (TRUE)
