1. Seawater and salt spray resistance: The foundation should be able to resist the corrosive effects of seawater and salt spray to ensure its longevity.
2. Soil type and stability: The foundation's design and depth should consider the soil type, composition and stability of the seabed to provide sufficient support for the structure.
3. Load capacity: The foundation should be able to withstand the load-bearing requirements of the structure, including the weight of the structure, its occupants, and any external forces such as wind, waves, and current forces.
4. Environmental impact: The foundation design and materials should minimize the impact on the surrounding marine environment and marine life.
5. Cost-effectiveness: The foundation should be cost-effective to install and maintain, ensuring the overall cost of the project is within budget.
6. Construction method: The construction method should be feasible in marine environments, considering factors such as water depth, wave and current forces, and access to materials and equipment.
7. Functional requirements: The foundation design should consider the functional requirements of the structure, including its intended use, size, and shape, and any specific design constraints or considerations.
