Structural/On grade foundation connection
Structural/On grade foundation connection
(OP)
How would you go about connecting a structural foundation supported by piers for a new building that ties into an existing building with a slab on grade foundation. I would prefer to allow the structures to move independently but that could get ugly with doors and corridors crossing the tie-in. The existing building is about 30 years old.

Unless, of course, the shallow foundation is supported on expansive clays that still change with moisture variations.
