It is shown that for floating foundation soil must have weight but it need not have shear strength; foundation must be able to resist pressure on its base and sides and, if weight or level of soil varies, pressures will not be uniform, and shear and bending forces will act on foundation; problems to be considered in using floating foundations are examined, among them excavation, bottom heave, settlement and tilting, and structural problems.
