Foundation Settlement
Foundation Settlement
(OP)
Dear,
A year before we constructed the foundation of Cement Silo capacity of 500tons. The raft foundation size was 6m x 6m x 0.8m. Now we are facing a problem of settlement as foundation is sinking on 3 sides. The whole area was back filled. The site used for the Ready Mixed Concrete plant and now a days there were too much water used around the foundation which is causing the water logging of that area. So anybody will suggest the solution for the stabilization of foundation to avoid further settlement.
Regards,
Rana Imran

Yes it is leaning away on one side. One solution which comes to my mind was to remove the soil around, approx. 1m strip,cos this soil has saturated too much with water and reinforced that strip with concrete. Will that serve the purpose or ??

RE: Foundation Settlement
I don't know the type of failure or for that matter the soil profile. If other than differential consolidation. It's stressed fairly high for anything but good soil. There are several approaches to repair and some may not work.
YOu may want to post this in the Structural, Geotechnical, or Foundation forum.

Sounds like a good underpinning job for some specialist contractor . . .
