The main purpose of the fond. Is to provide stability to the structure.
It anchors the structure in the soil.
Its another main function is to distribute the load of superstructure uniformly to the subsoil.

A foundation is the lowest and supporting layer of a structure. Foundations are generally divided into two categories: shallow foundations and deep foundations.

The main purpose of the foundation is to distribute the load of the superstructure to the sub-bearing strata and depth of foundation is below the ground level to prevent the external force like wind load etc. And hence to stabilized the structure.

Generally to increase the anchorage of the foundation. Because, We increase the anchorage automatically satisfy the sliding and overturning of the foundation.

Foundation is the base where the structure applies its load and safely transmitted to the subsoil.

Totally when wrong foundations are selected for different buildings it results into a collapse of the structure thus all foundations must be designed to carry every expected weight and drive the forces to the deep soil strata hence improving the stability of the structure.
