Role and Review of Problem Diagnostic Techniques in Strengthening of Foundations: A Case Study of Southern Half of Gorakhpur City in U.P.
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 7
Abstract
Almost all low rise buildings suffer with movement /distress as a result of moisture /water table variation in the soil, characteristic changes in existing soil around and below foundation due to flood/earthquake ultimately leading to differential settlement. The symptoms of foundation failure due to differential settlement in different parts of foundation is always evidenced by development of vertical cracks. However before the failure each foundation/building gives one or more of the indications such as wall rotation, separation around garage walls, cracked bricks/ sheet/ rocks / floors / foundations, displaced moldings, mis-aligned doors and windows. For the strengthening /modification of foundation obtaining information through observation of cracks, failure paten and measurement of the features/components is the unavoidable necessity to identify the failure mechanism, origin of the trouble/problem and role of ground conditions in context to failure of foundation partly or wholly. This paper deals with the novel based study of foundation problem diagnostic techniques, prospective/ constraintitve review of the strengthening techniques supplemented with the case study of almost southern half of Gorakhpur City through survey, observation and questionnaire from the occupants for the foundation problem identification and its strengthening measures.
