soft and compacted
QUESTION:
The consequences of not compacting the
ground will cause the following problems?
 
  1. Higher cost from an unnecessary amount of concrete
    used since the weight of the concrete,
    when poured, will compress the ground below.
  2. A compaction of at least 1/2 inch of the ground
    when the concrete is poured.
  3. Undesired water absorption at the bottom of the
    concrete. Hence, e.g. 4-inch thick concrete
    effectively reduces to 3-inch thick concrete
    because the bottom 1-inch has become weak
    and useless from lack of water in the cure process
    (i.e. hydration process).
