Increasing the depth of the foundation will not improve the bearing capacity of the soil, as the soil will still be the same.

Compacting the soil will help to improve its strength, but it will not be as effective as replacing the soil.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the most suitable method to increase the bearing capacity of black cotton soils is to replace the poor soil with a more stable material.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join Our Telegram Channel Subscribe on YouTube<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[643],"tags":[],"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>In case of foundations on black cotton soils, the most suitable method to increase the bearing capacity of soils is to A.
