Which of the following statements is FALSE regarding the conditions in which a pile foundation is preferred?
Answer: A
The false statement is that a pile foundation is preferred when there are small fluctuations in the sub-soil water level. Piles are preferred when the water level fluctuates a great deal, because shallow footings would be disturbed by the changing moisture, so it is large fluctuations that favour piles. The other three are genuine conditions for choosing piles: an expansive top soil, a heavy superstructure load that must be carried to deeper, stronger strata or spread over a wider area, and a weak top soil of poor bearing capacity that cannot support the structure.
