SCOPE OF STUDY
There are several ways to overcome with this problem which can help to
reduce the cracking at the building and the value of settlement that occur in the
soil itself. In my study, there are three techniques for settled foundation which is
Foundation Underpinning, Polymer Injection and Grout Pumping.
The first suggestion to overcome this problem is Foundation
Underpinning. The word Underpinning itself referred to as Piering. This
technique involves driving steel piers (either helical or standard push piers) into
the earth beneath a settled foundation until each pier reaches solid, stable soil or
bedrock. A bracket at the top of each pier is connected to the foundation, enabling
the installer to raise and stabilize the settled mansory. Underpinning is effective
for rising settled foundation walls and slabs.
Besides that, Polymer Injection is one of the technique that can be done to
overcome this settled foundation problem. Expanding geotechnical foam can be
injected into loose or weak soil to consolidate and stabilize the soil while also
Lastly, the repair technique for settled foundation that can be considered is
Grout Pumping. Sometimes it referred to as mud jacking; this technique involved
pumping liquid concrete slurry into voids beneath settled concrete. Grout
pumping can be used to raise sunken sidewalks and slabs, or to fill voids left after
raising a settled foundation with piers.
