Descriptions:
I have one ground land. Why can’t I build on the whole ground? Why should I leave space to build? Why does the government have setbacks and norms? Many clients ask me this question. I am going to answer it.
Hello, my name is Madhanashree. I am a structural engineer. The image you see now is the foundation of your building.
This pressure bulb diagram shows how the weight of the foundation distributes the pressure to the entire soil. Similarly, if you use the full ground to build, and your neighbor also uses the full ground, the columns on both sides come closer to each other.
As a result, the pressure bulbs of both sides merge, as shown in the image. Because of this merging, the weaker foundation may start to sink. Even if the foundation is strong, weak soil can cause sinking. When these two soil pressure bulbs meet, there is a 99% chance of structural cracks in your building.
The norms created by the government to avoid this are called setbacks. These setbacks vary according to the road width for residential and commercial areas.
If you need consulting on how to avoid setbacks or how to prevent pressure bulb overlapping, please reach out to me.
