What is Soft & Weak Foundation

What is Soft & Weak Foundation

Soft & Weak foundation refers to the foundation mainly composed of silt, silty soil, alluvial fill, miscellaneous fill or other highly compressible soil layers. This kind of foundation has high water content, low bearing capacity, poor stability, high compressibility, and large settlement, and it is prone to slid or consolidation settlement under the loading.

Therefore, this kind of Soft & Weak foundation needs to be dealt with by certain techniques in engineering construction, and this technology is widely applied in the coastal areas and part of the interior of our country. For example: Guangdong, Guangxi, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, Liaoning, Hong Kong, Macau and other coastal areas, and Kunming, Wuhan, Yunnan and other inland areas.
