[amp_mcq option1=”Compacting the soil” option2=”Draining the soil” option3=”Increasing the depth of foundation” option4=”Grouting” correct=”option2″]<\/p>\n

The correct answer is: B. Draining the soil<\/strong><\/p>\n

The bearing capacity of a soil is its ability to support a load without collapsing. The bearing capacity of a waterlogged soil is reduced because the water fills the voids in the soil, reducing the soil’s ability to carry a load.<\/p>\n

Draining the soil removes the water from the voids, increasing the soil’s ability to carry a load. This can be done by installing drainage pipes or by creating a trench around the foundation of the structure.<\/p>\n

The other options are incorrect because they do not directly address the issue of waterlogged soil.<\/p>\n
