Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: D. All the above
Foundations are placed below ground level to increase the strength, workability, and stability of the structure.
- Strength: The ground below the foundation provides a solid base for the structure to rest on. This helps to distribute the weight of the structure evenly, preventing it from sinking or settling.
- Workability: The ground below the foundation also provides a stable surface for construction workers to work on. This helps to prevent accidents and injuries.
- Stability: The ground below the foundation also helps to prevent the structure from being damaged by natural disasters such as earthquakes and floods.
In addition, placing the foundation below ground level can help to protect it from the elements and from being damaged by human activity.
