question to whomever may be willing and able to help. Within EN 13480-3 equations 6.1-1 and 6.1-3 for minimum required wall thickness without allowances/tolerances. The equations (6.1-1 or 6.1-3) depends on Do/Di. is Di related to the minimum thickness calculated? Or Di is the chosen wall...

above floor is a balcony. only people walking.

Pls note that there is a balcony above this slab and below is a kitchen.

Ceiling. above this is a balcony, which may have leaked for the past 30 years.

PhamEng, pls can you tell me how to treat this ? to replace it would be too costly. so it should be last recourse. GTE https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=a03573b3-499b-4b36-8111-75087fe40d78&file=WhatsApp_Image_2022-02-12_at_13.36.36.jpeg

Has anyone heard of underpinning technique?

The building control says : "find an a new engineer and a new builder, or find someone who can sign the depth (on the photo)" That is what they are saying. what I think happened is that the builder did not take photos. Or rather photo was taken by the builder and due to some conflict (between...

the padstone has been poured into a house. (perhaps I should have mentioned). does a core drilling machine the solution?

Hi. I would like to know what are the most economic and approved method to prove the depth of a concrete foundation?

just found this paper anyone with experience Link

ok. I still need to pick your brains. I did not mean to antagonise you. apologies if I did. The builder says he has dug a hole of 1.25m however he can not prove it. Not taken pictures etc etc. How one could prove this footing thickness? My questions. do you think that if the builder drill...

I want to clarify. I am asking the structural engineer to justify the depth. And I paid for a survey and calcs. 1k local money.

Building control is telling me to get a structural engineer to sign it off. ......... A chartered engineer in the uk is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chartered_Engineer_(UK)

Wow... why you guys getting so salty! I am an engineer myself. Chartered engineer.So do pls keep to social network social here... I am allowed to pick your brain and it is all I am doing, an informal peer review. Make no mistake. Your views are just helping me to get a feel and argument to the...

Pls tell me what you get from the borehole survey and tell me if you think 1.25 m is rather much . And also While we are at it. Still asking for a friend. There are 2 steel beams now in the kitchen that need fire protection. What do you think of intumescent paint? (rather than plasterboard)...

ok. given the below. does that help yveid https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=81a0a14c-f6c6-4ad2-a26c-c1ccec98da6c&file=geology2.jpg

The engineer said that there was no SI study so he assumed 1.25m. What is an SI study. The more in investigate the more I think the work of that young engineer was not supervised. that is his response " The depth of the strip footing can be reduced if we have soil at lower depth that can give...

May I add that it is in my kitchen therefore in a heated space and when not heated well-insulated!! I think that 1.25m is too much. Why ? because if it not I am totally screwed. but thank Le99. I will check the local frost depth. (where I can find this? I have just spent 10 min without luck). I...
