In concrete footing pads distributed design extends below the frost line and transfer the load of the walls to the ground. A deep foundation is usually more complex and is used where soil conditions are weak (such as mountainous areas, flood plains, etc.). A charge transfer of deep foundation and structure of a layer of top soil in a low thick layer.

Deep foundations can be reinforced or prestressed concrete, steel or wood. A deep foundation layer invades the rock, in some cases, if an engineer of the Foundation are absolutely necessary!
