The thickness of a foundation typically depends on the type of structure and the soil conditions, but it generally ranges from 6 to 12 inches for residential buildings. For concrete slabs, a minimum thickness of 4 to 6 inches is common. Additionally, local building codes and engineering specifications can dictate specific thickness requirements based on factors such as load-bearing needs and climate conditions. Always consult with a structural engineer or local regulations for precise guidelines.
