Definitions

spread foundation

A foundation consisting of multiple mats or wide footings under the ground level.

For spread foundation systems, the structural load is literally spread out over a broad area under the building. Spread foundation systems utilize one or more horizontal mats, or pads, to anchor the building as a whole or to anchor individual columns or sections separately. Spread foundations are also known as footing foundations and are a type of foundation often utilized in low-rise buildings.
