There are different types of soil are found on the earth (i.e. Sand, Silt, Clay, Loamy). In Civil Engineering aspects,
each type of soil have some trouble due to which the foundation may get failed or damaged. This study discussed the properties
of various soils (Sand, Silt, Clay), effect of these soils on structures and covers the guidelines to construct the structure in these
types of soils. The main objective of this study is to understand the effect of seismic forces on footing with the change in
underlying soil. Also from various literature reviews, study shows the points which are helpful to overcome the damages in
footing construction by showing different methods, loading combinations, seismic effect, footing stability, etc.
