Why is the foundation of a high rise builiding wider
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 5 years, 5 months ago

High rise buildings are massive structures which exert tremendous pressure on the ground and are likely to sink.So to avoid sinking, their foundations are made wide, to decrease the pressure on the ground.

As we know that same force acting on a smaller area exerts a larger pressure but smaller pressure on larger area.

This further explained by the formula below,which shows that force and the area it acts upon are inversely proportional.
