Increasing bearing capacity and eliminating heaving of base soil
It's time to stop expecting regular troubles after a rainy autumn or snowy winter
Cracks in walls and uneven floors are often symptoms of a problem. Many structural problems are associated with unstable soil conditions or subsidence. To eliminate these problems, it is important to understand not only the visible effects on the building or structure, but also what happens in the soil itself. Different types of soils give rise to different problems and require different solutions. Having an expert on hand who knows how to behave and what to do can help ensure that when you solve one problem, you are not causing another.
Misunderstanding can lead to disastrous results. As an example, one apartment building suffered damage after a trench dug under the floor to fix a leaking pipe (pipe replacement technology involved opening the floors) was again filled with sand. The house was built on a heaving (swelling) clay base. A sand-filled trench created a canal that diverted groundwater under the house, saturating clay and, like the effect of heaving, unevenly lifting various parts of the building. As a result, the repair of the pipe caused much more significant damage to the building than just a burst pipe, because the type of base soil was not taken into account when choosing a solution.
What does the base problem look like?
Step # 1 is to figure it out and determine the cause.
Only then can a balanced decision about the future be made.
LOSS BASED ON ITS CARRIER PROPERTIES MAY BE CAUSED BY THE FOLLOWING FACTORS:
- Not properly tamped base
- Man-made breakdowns and accidents of engineering communications
- Regular fluctuations in moisture and soil temperature
- Earthworks or piling nearby
- Regular exposure to vibrations
- Organic processes in the soil
- The presence of dense or close tree stands
- Seismic activity
