The bearing capacity of waterlogged soil can be increased by Draining the soil.
Soil Drainage: Soil drainage is a natural process by which water moves across, through, and out of the soil as a result of the force of gravity. A well-drained soil is a soil which infiltrates the water at moderate rates. In well-drained soils, half of the pores are filled with solid minerals, having 2-5% organic matter. And remaining the half of the pores are filled with water.
Grouting:
Grout is usually a mixture of cement, sand, chemical, and water that are used to fill the gaps. They are used in repairing concrete cracks, filling gaps in tiles, waterproofing, and gap for sealing.
There are three types of grouting:
Cement grouting.
Chemical grouting.
Bituminous grouting.
Compactions of soils:
Compactions of soil are used to reduce the void ratio and to increase the density and strength of the soil. Compaction may be done for the partially saturated or dry soil.
Compaction can not be done in a waterlogged area.
Compaction done for fully saturated soil is known as Consolidation.

Compaction cannot achieved.
Compaction achieved = removal of air voids and water voids from the soil mass.
Compaction achieved = removal of air voids and water voids from the soil mass.

It Should be compaction.

Can it be increased by increasing the depth of foundation?
