Dik has provided sound advice re soliciting a geotech. A good problem for structural and geotech to work on together. Configuration loads etc from structural, analysis of existiong conditions re loads etc from geotech with possible remedial measures etc. Just like going to the medic.
In addition to measures provided by Dik,another possible approach is the use of stone columns. However, more info is needed before anyone can provide adequate solutions but not without doing some number crunching.

Cement-Soil mixing is often better suited for these types of sites. In addition to addressing static bearing requirements, soil mixed columns can be placed in a cellular formation to assist in mitigating liquefaction potential. A few feet of granular fill together with geotextile make for a good load transfer mattress on top of the soil mixed columns. This ground modification system has been used successfully on several tank farms in the southern US.
