    orientation means the building alignment.it depends on factors like sunlight,air flow into the house,etc.orientation is to plan the house in such a way that we take the maximum advantage of the available resources like sunlight,breeze,etc.

    i think the orientation of a building along the bay of Bengal should be south-east.

    please correct me if i am wrong.😀

    i think deep foundations are of 2 types.
    1. well foundations
    2.pile foundations.
    and regarding alignment of the building all natural factors are considered like air, light.. they should be available for a happy and comfortable living. and in most of the interviews and competitive exams, they stress more on basics, as far my knowledge is considered.

    procedure of design mix means u have several methods to prepare a design mix. each system has different procedure. so be specific in your question.

    Hey madugula,

    in the types of foundation i think you forgot to include the shallow foundations.

    foundation is of two types:shallow and deep foundations.
    there are many shallow foundations like isolated column, raft footing, steel grillage, etc.
    in the deep foundations we have well,caisson,pile foundations i think.

    correct me if i'm wrong 😀

    yes you are right. but the question you asked is "types of deep foundations" so i didnt include shallow foundations.
