In most cases the bearing capacity of rock is so high that smaller foundations can be used when they are bearing directly onto rock. However there are a number of special rock types such as chalk, Keuper Marl and fractured, fissured or dissolvable rocks which can have much lower bearing capacities depending on the condition of the rock strata.

Keywords: Foundation footing, rock mass classification, rock class, compressive strength, safe bearing capacity (SBC). Introduction Basalt rock is an igneous rock which spreads to about 500000 square kilometer of India. In western part of area the basalt rock is known as Deccan trap. The Deccan Traps are formed about
Basalt formation is a new promising CO2 sink for providing secure long-term carbon storage via trapped CO2 in mineral phases. When water enters into the crystal structures of the divalent cation-bearing unaltered basalt, the rock is altered and serpentinized. The serpentinization of the unaltered basalt occurs widely around the world.
