Answer:
Q1. Answer: The foundation plan is a plan view drawing, in section, showing the location and size of footings, piers, columns, foundation walls, and supporting beams.
Q2. Answer:In engineering, a foundation is the element of a structure which connects it to the ground, and transfers loads from the structure to the ground. Foundations are generally considered either shallow or deep.
Q3. Answer: The foundation is general expression for structural element that support the superstructure as well as the supported soil, while the footing is represent the shallow structural element that support the superstructure.
Q4:Answer: Beams primarily carry vertical gravitational forces. They are also used to carry horizontal loads (e.g., loads due to an earthquake or wind or in tension to resist rafter thrust as a tie beam or (usually) compression as a collar beam).
