The bearing capacity of soil is increased by cement and lime grouting method, in which cement or lime is add with the soil which increase the bearing capacity of soil this is more commonly used in ROAD projects, this process is known as GROUTING METHODER.

Bearing capacity of soils can be increased by compaction and grouting methods.

Another alternative way to increase bearing capacity of soil is,  by using carbon nano tube (cnt), which is add to the soil. The surface area of the cnt will stregthen the soil even if we use in small quantity.

A method for increasing the bearing capacity of foundation soils for built structures consisting of providing a plurality of holes spaced from each other deep in the soil, and injecting into the soil, through the holes, a substance which expands as a consequence of a chemical reaction, with a potential increase in volume of at least five times the volume of the substance before expansion. The expansion of the substance injected into the soil produces compaction of the contiguous soil.

To improve the bearing capacity of soil, one of the following methods can be used.

1. Vibro Floatation Technique

2. Repalce the existing soil with road base materials and compact in layers to attain the required bearing capacity of soil.

3. Replace the existing soil with cement mix soil and compact in layers with water to attain the required bearing capacity.

4. Vibro Replacement Technique

We can increase the capacity of soil by decreasing the area of the footing.
