Underpinning Adjacent Foundation
Underpinning Adjacent Foundation
(OP)
I am designing a three story masonry residential building that is 100’ long and the back of it will be right against a 45’ long house (only 5” gap). The bottom of the proposed basement foundation will be about 6’ below the house foundation (wall footing). Soil blow counts are 40+/ft. I am considering either helical or 3’ wide concrete piers for underpinning. Doing this for the first time. Any recommendations or suggestions, references or tips are greatly appreciated.

How will the homeowner replace/paint/maintain his/her siding?
How do propose to get the inevitable toddler out of the gap?

Also, there are plenty of threads about underpinning in Eng-Tips. Do a search for a lot of good information.
