    Foundations built on sandstone and shale in the Sydney region can experience significant settlement over time if not properly engineered. Factors such as weak rock strength, discontinuities from joints and bedding planes, and weathering can lead to consolidation and failure of shallow foundations constructed on these geological materials. Proper site investigation and testing is needed along with foundation designs that take into account the soil-rock properties and limit stress levels to prevent excessive deformation of the underlying sandstone and shale.
