For this, it's a waist of materials. The ground is already very hard, all you need is a reached concrete. We do that on a loose/ sandy ground or swamp

As a structural engineer, this is done to allow for even settlement as times goes on.
2) To distribute the ground beam loads on the point load (i.e pile columns)

I think water is coming out in the ground of the foundation!

Strap footing is a specific type of foundation design used to address challenges related to soil conditions or structural layouts. It involves two or more footings connected by a reinforced concrete strap, which helps evenly distribute the load to the supporting soil

it is placed in order to help in distributing the structural loading, due to the soil bearing capacity defects. or to avoid creep. in terms of creep you can provide this beam or you go for combine footings. it all depends on soil bearing capacity.

This connection is made to improve the foundations resistance to differential settlement and also induce connectivity in all foundation members

It is necessary in some foundation but not this type of hard land we can see what you excavated from it already sir, Even if the soil text gave a result and calculated for pad foundation the substructure beam is a waste of material, we can then apply a plinth beam before the oversize concrete (German floor) sir, thank you.

that best way of protecting of balance⚖️cracking of the pullers and to get good Meshament of pillars

This decision is taken to tackle issues of differential settlement
As such, poor soil condition could be another criteria to enhance structural stability

as an engineer is not,a waste of money,the reason is because is a swamp area,pay me later

the purpose of the ground beam is to handle uneven settlement that cause crack upward from foundation

to me if this is a nomal living structure is a waist except is a flooding areal or a giant wayhouse and massive complex,peace and love,

it is well good
but ground matter and to avoid settlement effect (cracking)

the ground beam connects all columns together to act as single units to avoid differential settlement due to different intensity of load acting on the column

I can't certainly tell why for this case scenario, but for the one I did at a quarry. we need to strap the columns because of the regular rock blasting in the environment

The reason is, when u want to move to another location, u can uproot the building to another area.

it's because the bearing capacity of the soil is poor, or the site is sloppy .
using splint beam is necessary

1. It serves as a base (footing) for your block work in order to avoid differential settlement on your walls.
2. It also helps your columns to withstand lateral force from soil pressure which might lead to columns shifting.
Good work 👍🏾
