Abstract :
The subsoil of southwest region of bangladesh, especially in the surrounding of kuet campus that is situated in lowland topography with a very thick soft fine grained and organic soil deposits up to great depth. This paper describe the case studies of different foundation system adopted for the construction of some building in and around kuet campus. The building in this region are experienced very large amount of total and differential settlement. While constructed conventional shallow foundation, as a result constructed infrastructure lost their utility and abandoned in some cases. Geotechnical engineers have been facing such difficulties for the last few decades and rate of the construction of civil infrastructure have been increased in the recent years. Based on the field experiences and to ensure the foundation stability, different types of foundation have been practiced in kuet campus such as the construction of amar ekushy hall, rokeya hall and new academic building.
