The subject of strength and total structural load is presented, accompanied by a formula that assesses the stability of rock foundations. Designing foundations for large structures is a complex and time-consuming task due to the numerous load combinations and simultaneous influences from various types of equipment and installations. The success of local economies relies on the reliability of these engineering structures. Regardless of the soil conditions, all buildings are classified into the third geotechnical category due to the substantial investments and high costs involved. The foundations of buildings must meet or exceed safety standards, ensuring effective communication between the equipment and nearby objects. It is crucial to adhere to stringent requirements regarding overall vertical displacement of the foundation and differential settlements between different foundation locations, guaranteeing optimal performance of the equipment. Experimental determination of rock qualities, such as compressive strength, and comprehensive structural load calculations are performed to analyze the strength of foundations
