Building settlement
Building settlement
(OP)
Hi all;
We have a project where a building is settling both vertically and rotating as well.(almost like the wall tipping over) The building is quite old (over 100 years) and quite heavy construction (concrete and masonry/brick). The geotech is proposing a helical pier system. I understand that this would help the vertical settlement, but I have huge concerns over the rotation/horizontal movement.Has anyone used this method before for a similar situation? Any input/comments would be appreciated.

and the water is now running under your structure and undermining.
Helical peirs might work. Mudjcking of the structure might bring it back up to the correct height provided that you have resonably sound ground material under the structure.Pump a mixture of sand cement grout but remember this will also fill any broken drains and plug them which might give you additional problems.
We have lifted a few structures this way sometimes works fine sometimes not its never for sure
