Hello!
I am working on a slope and ground movement assignment caused by fat clay and high groundwater. The toe of the slope is adjacent to a concrete sidewalk which has uplifted (buckled) and the ground movement even extended into the streets. Due to the amount of underground utilities beneath the sidewalk and the heavy rain during the winter, excavating the area by removing the clayey soil and replacing with gravel and installing a drainage system is not what I want to do at the moment.
Are there better alternative temperary repairs that someone could recommend to stablize the toe for the time being without having to excavate during the wet weather season?
Thank you,
