title = "Foundation Design and Soil Bearing"

content = """
Foundations transfer structural loads to the ground. In Hong Kong and Taiwan, sites often have complex soil conditions: fill, alluvium, weathered rock, or rock. Bearing capacity, settlement, and liquefaction (in seismic zones) must be assessed. Geotechnical reports provide soil parameters and recommendations.

Shallow foundations (pad, strip, raft) are used when soil capacity is adequate. Pile foundations are common for tall buildings or weak soils. Pile types include bored piles, driven piles, and micropiles. The reviewer must verify that pile capacity and settlement match the geotechnical report and that structural design of pile caps and transfer structures is correct.
