    This document discusses the process of underpinning, which involves strengthening an existing foundation. It describes several key points: (1) Underpinning can be used to place a new foundation under an existing one, construct a basement in an existing building, or strengthen a shallow foundation. (2) The process involves excavating under the existing foundation and installing new supports like needles or piles. (3) There are two main methods - the pit method, which involves dividing the foundation into sections and excavating pits one at a time, and the pile method, which uses driven piles for support. Underpinning can be an expensive process but is used to reinforce foundations resting on poor soil.

    1 FOUNDATION AND

    BASEMENT

    UNDERPINNING
    PREPARED BY: Er. KANCHAN BHATTA
    UNDERPINNING

     Process of placing a new foundation under an existing one or


    strengthening an existing foundation.

     To construct a basement in existing building.

     To strengthen shallow foundation of existing building when building


    with deep foundation is to be constructed adjoining it.

     To deepen existing foundation (resting on poor strata) so as to rest it


    on deeper soil strata of high bearing power.

    2
     Quite an expensive process.
    UNDERPINNING

    SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

     Suitable holes driven through wall and


    needle beam is inserted.

     Needle beam is placed on wooden


    block in one side and other side is
    supported on jack.

     Excavation is started below foundation


    and footing of foundation is reached. 3
    UNDERPINNING

    SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

     Excavation of trench should be slightly


    wide so that trench goes under the
    foundation.

     Sides placed by Timbering.

    • The offset of the foundation is cutoff


    and removed.
    4
    UNDERPINNING

    SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

    • Excavation is reached to
    defined depth.

    • New foundation is laid in the


    desired depth.

    METHODS OF UNDERPINNING

    A. PIT METHOD

    i. Ordinary

    ii. Cantilever

    B. PILE METHOD

    6
    UNDERPINNING

    METHODS OF UNDERPINNING

    A. PIT METHOD

    i. Ordinary

     Entire length of foundation to be


    underpinned is divided into
    sections of 1.2-1.5m lengths.

     One section taken at a time.

    7
    UNDERPINNING

    METHODS OF UNDERPINNING

    A. PIT METHOD

    i. Ordinary

     For each section, hole is made in wall


    above plinth level and needle inserted
    in hole.

     Needle of either timber or steel section.

    8
     Bearing plates placed above needle to
    support masonry above it.
    UNDERPINNING

    METHODS OF UNDERPINNING

    A. PIT METHOD

    i. Ordinary

     Needle supported on either sides of wall


    on crib support and screw jack.

     Foundation pit then excavated to desired


    level and new foundation is laid.

     When work of section is over then work 9


    on next to next section is taken.
    UNDERPINNING

    METHODS OF UNDERPINNING

    A. PIT METHOD

    ii. Cantilever

     If interior strong column exists, or if


    foundation is to be extended only to
    one side, cantilever needles may be
    used

    10
    UNDERPINNING

    METHODS OF UNDERPINNING

    B. PILE METHOD

     Useful in clayey soils and water


    logged areas.

     Piles are driven at regular intervals


    along both sides of wall.

     Bore holes or under-reamed piles


    may be used. 11
    UNDERPINNING

    METHODS OF UNDERPINNING

    B. PILE METHOD

     Piles connected by concrete or


    steel needles, penetrating
    through walls.

     Beams act as pile caps.
