FOUNDATION PROBLEM
FOUNDATION PROBLEM
(OP)
which is the best solution to save a building from collapsing near a river body located 2.5m away. During dry seasons, the building is safe but when rains start the water level rises 1.8m eroding the soil around the foundation and gradually exposing it(foundation). the building is 1m above the bed of the river.??
1. a retaining wall at 1.5m from the structure
2. gabion wall at 1.5m from the structure
thank you.

But aside from that, I would opt for the gabion wall and pipe piling under the building foundation.
