Bulging Rubble Foundation Wall

[jim57]

Trying to evaluate a Rubble Foundation basement wall. The house was constructed in 1850. Wall looks like it was a dugout(stones placed against the earth). Wall was also underpinned. No information on that. Drainage concerns will be eliminated, but would like to provide some type of reinforcement to the wall. Thinking of placing steel soldier beams to the concrete underpinning and floor beams above.

Appreciate any comments or help. Any documents?

The 4x6 is temporary, not permanent. It also runs perpendicular to what you show. It is to hold the bottom while you work on final base connection which requires hammer drilling near the unstable wall.

Used pressure treated wood. Client knows this is not permanent until he can afford replacement. The most hammering I want to do is to set rebar.
