Abstract
The paper describes a case history in connection with foundation problems at a residential complex on the adequacy or otherwise of the bearing capacity of foundation soil for raising the existing buildings to double storeyed configuration. The study made possible to raise few existing buildings to double storeyed where safe bearing capacity was found adequate and these buildings could reveal good performance since implementation of suggestions.
