Foundation is a structural part of a building on which a building stands. Foundation transmits and distributes its own load and imposed loads to the soil in such a way that the load bearing capacity of the “foundation bed” is not exceeded. When the soil at shallow depth is not capable of supporting a structure, deep foundations are required to transfer the loads to deeper strata. If a firm stratum is so deep that it cannot be reached by open excavation, the deep foundation will be adopted. It is well known from many studies on water storage tank foundation systems that stability and settlement are two main factors which may lead to the rupture or even the complete failure of water tanks.The magnitude of maximum settlement, differential settlement, the shape of the settlement dish are of more importance in engineering. To avoid problems caused by differential settlement of the tank bottoms, three checks are required: (1) procedure for estimating the magnitude of settlement; (2) procedure for estimating the likely shape of the tank bottom upon settlement; and (3) a criterion for judging the acceptability of the magnitude of differential settlement. The thickness of the granular pad, the number and configuration of piles, the load distribution among piles in the system to achieve the most effective foundation system are still being studied. One method to enhance the water tank foundation system and minimize the differential settlement is the use of pile foundation. For the case where shallow raft foundation can provide enough bearing capacity but the average settlement and differential settlement is excessive, piles are introduced in order to limit settlements.
