Inter-working between structure - foundation - foundation soil is a complex issue that must be taken into account during planning, design and execution of constructions, aiming not to reach in any of the phases the limit state of bearing capacity and deformations. The foundations of these constructions must be adapted to each location, depending on the nature and deformability of the soil, the size and reactive pressure distribution on the contact surface and on the general deformation of construction. In the case of halls with large spans, redistribution of the efforts due to differential settlements is influenced by the rigidity and static indeterminate structures being able to lead to a state of effort and deformation of constructions different than that obtained with conventional analysis in the current design.
