Some disadvantages of strip foundations include limited load-bearing capacity, susceptibility to differential settlement (which can lead to structural issues), and the potential for erosion or instability of the ground beneath the foundation. Additionally, strip foundations may not be suitable for all soil types and may require deeper excavation in certain cases.

disvantages of a narrow strip foundation
The advantages are that many workers know how to use it and it is cheap. Disadvantages are that it is really difficult to fix up any mistakes.
teir inaccuracy, which results in misreading of temperature can pose a threat to the health of the individual
Advantages: Bimetallic strip thermometers are durable, have a wide temperature range, and provide accurate temperature readings due to the thermal expansion of the metals. Disadvantages: They can be slow to respond to temperature changes, may require recalibration over time, and are limited in their application to specific temperature ranges.
they are cheap to buy, easy to install, they are not extermely accurate and are slow to react to a temperature change.
Pollution. Pollutive cyanide can turn beautiful creeks nasty. Gas trapped for tens of thousands of years is released and it is pollutive.
Disadvantages of strip mining include habitat destruction, air and water pollution from mining operations, soil erosion, and disruption of local communities and ecosystems. It can also lead to long-term environmental impacts and the loss of biodiversity.
Strip cropping can lead to several disadvantages, including increased management complexity, as it requires careful planning and maintenance of different crop types in alternating strips. It may also result in uneven irrigation and nutrient distribution, potentially affecting crop yields. Additionally, if not properly managed, strip cropping can lead to pest and weed issues that may be harder to control due to the diversity of crops. Lastly, there may be higher initial costs associated with implementing and transitioning to this practice.
Main disadvantages 1. Needs more concrete and reinfrocement steel if compared to pad footings 2. Bending moments, has to be designed similar to a standard beam
