Mat foundation

Mat foundations usually cover the entire building footprint.

A raft foundation, which also goes by mat foundation, is essentially a continuous slab resting on the soil that extends over the entire footprint of the building.

A raft column footing, also known as a mat foundation, is a continuous slab that supports multiple columns, spreading the loads over a large area. It's used when soil bearing capacity is low, and individual footings would be too close, making a combined foundation impractical. Raft Building Foundations are constructed with typical slab depths between 4”-12” (10-30 cm). Column widths are commonly 8”-12” (20-30 cm) with column spacings from 9’10”-24’6” (3-7.5 m).

Mat foundation details are given into the atucad 2D DWG Drawing file. Mat foundation, is essentially a continuous slab resting on the soil that extends over the entire footprint of the building, thereby supporting the building and transferring its weight to the ground. Bottom reinforcement, top reinforcement, foundation with bore pipe and mat foundation with RC wall plan were given in this drawing file.
