_________ method of increasing the bearing power of soil becomes very useful when the load coming on the soil is practically uniform.

_________ method of increasing the bearing power of soil becomes very useful when the load coming on the soil is practically uniform. Correct Answer Raft foundation

Raft foundations are very useful in the soil which is of yielding nature that is soft clay or reclaimed soil. The raft is designed as an inverted RCC roof with uniformly distributed load of the soil pressure and supported by walls, beams and columns.
