On sites where the slope of the ground is such that there is an appreciable fall in the ► 2020 (1)
surface across the width or length of a building, and a raft foundation is to be used,
because of the poor bearing capacity of subsoil, it is necessary either to cut into the ► 2017 (23)
surface or provide additional fill under the building or a combination of both to provide a ► 2011 (105)
level base for the raft.

It is advisable to minimise the extent of disturbance of the soft or uncertain subsoil. Where ▼ December (60)
the slope is shallow and the design and use of the building allows, a stepped raft may be
used down the slope, as illustrated in Fig.14. Damp-proof courses above
