Builders of many newer residential buildings will turn to precast concrete foundation walls to save money and time on a construction site. These walls are installed elsewhere and then delivered to the building site when they are ready to be deployed. Reinforced concrete panel walls are surprisingly strong, but they are not as typical as concrete walls. Precast panels use a high-strength, low-water concrete mix, which in the long run makes them water-resistant. Nevertheless, when water damage happens, the connection between the walls and the floor usually appears.
We reduced the ground 9.5 meters by 5.5 meters down to the depth of 3 meters Removal of main muck to be down no lower than the existing footings, until underpinning was completed. Underpinning was dug out in sequence, once dug out to the depth of 3 meters reinforcement bars were put in as shown on drawings. Thickness of retaining wall 300 mm. The main vertical bars were H10 at 125 centers, giving a 50 mm covering, H10 bars at 200 centers coming into the toe. The toe was dug out at 300 thickness and 1.9 metres in length. A 300 thick heel was put into the depth of 325, main bars to the heel to where H8 bars at 126 centers.
