Answer / vinod loonawat
If the soil is soft then as per the soil report one shold
find till what depth do you find a hard rock strata, the
foundation also depends on the total height of the super
structure and the load capacity therefore one can use the
combination of Pile and raft foundation i.e take a group of
piles at the positon of the Columns and above that one can
have a raft.

Answer / danish
if you are going to built structure on soft soil then you should check at which point there is a hard strata, if you found it at nearer depth, it will be good otherwise you should adopt raft foundation or pile foundation. in most cases pile foundations are used. one thing is important in that case that you should have to maintain the air gap below the ground beam otherwise it can be damaged by uplift pressure of soil as the black soil having the tendency of uplifting during rainfall.
