Both B and C<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A foundation is a structural element that transfers the weight of a building or other structure to the ground. The foundation soil is the soil that supports the foundation. The sub-grade is the layer of soil that is prepared to support the foundation.<\/p>\n<p>The foundation soil must be able to support the weight of the structure without settling or cracking. The sub-grade must be compacted and free of debris to provide a stable base for the foundation.<\/p>\n<p>If the foundation soil is not strong enough, the foundation may settle or crack. If the sub-grade is not compacted or is not free of debris, the foundation may not be stable.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it is important to choose a foundation type that is appropriate for the soil conditions and to prepare the sub-grade properly before installing the foundation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;Base of the foundation&#8221; option2=&#8221;Sub-grade&#8221; option3=&#8221;Foundation soil&#8221; option4=&#8221;Both B and C&#8221; correct=&#8221;option4&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[640],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-rcc-structures-design","no-featured-image-padding"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v23.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>A foundation rests on A.
