_______ occurs due to various reasons such as unequal distribution of load on the foundations, varying bearing power of the sub soil, eccentricity of the load, etc.

_______ occurs due to various reasons such as unequal distribution of load on the foundations, varying bearing power of the sub soil, eccentricity of the load, etc. Correct Answer Unequal settlement of the sub-soil

Due to unequal settlement of the sub-soil, the cracks are formed in the buildings, which in future, leads to serious defects. To prevent such failure, the foundations should rest on the rock or hard murum.
