In its fullest sense, a foundation is that member which provides support for the structure and its load.... More often, the term foundation is applied in a restricted sense only to the transition member. Unfortunately, this can lead to trouble, since the ability of the transition member to provide support is limited by the capabilities of what is beneath. Therefore, foundation engineering must consider the foundation system as a whole rather than as isolated, independent elements. 2, record 21, English, - foundation%20system
