    Medium structure foundation is flexible with some settlement and the structure will stand straight and won't tilted. But if you strengthens the with RCC for individual footings and strip mat the building may tilted due to unequal settle ment if not found on rock. Earth quake also may with stand in . A titled structure of the third floor was dismantle by me, because of PCC has been laid under foundation, where the soil is soft clay.
