Hi all

I have never come across underpinning of isolated pad footing on boundary.

Do you have any resources that you could share in particular on techniques used ?

I have a case with pad eccentric pad footing on the boundary .

Thanks for your help.

Dig carefully?

You're going to need to supply more detail here like size, load, ground condition etc

what is your plan?

why does it need it?
 
Try to get your hands on a copy of Underpinning by Prentis and White. The Foundation Engineering Handbook by Winterkorn and Fang also has a good chapter on underpinning written by White.
 
Shore up the point load if you can to get the shored load away from the underpinning. Doing just that in a few weeks.
