A strong foundation can withstand the weight of a multi floored structure. However, if the soil underneath the foundation is not solid, many serious complications may occur. Having a geotechnical survey completed from the outset is very important.
While people had been studying the science of soil mechanics since the 1700s, modern geotechnical engineering got its start in 1925 with the publishing of Erdbaumechanik by Karl Terzaghi. A geologist and engineer, he developed the principle of effective stress, and demonstrated how it related to soil.
For more than 4500 years, humans have found uses for asbestos. As early as 2500 BC, the Finns mixed it with clay to create strong, durable pots and utensils. By 300 BC, the Greeks were using the material to make lamp wicks and other fire-resistant items.
In 1916, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) relocated to Cambridge, but the new buildings soon began to sink and crack. Why? One of the premier engineering institutions in the US, MIT had neglected basic geotechnical engineering principles and failed to account for soil conditions.
Although some instances of water damage are readily apparent to anyone who sees them, others can be subtler. If you need to ensure that you’ve dealt with any water damage present in your office building, we’re always here to help you find it.
A geotechnical survey will take into account the slope of the land, the seismic activity of the region, permafrost conditions, groundwater locations, and many other aspects to determine the best location for a foundation.
It’s important to remember that water damage is the type of thing you typically must deal with right away to ensure it doesn’t get any worse. If your home has recently had any plumbing issues, it’s smart to bring in a professional to test your home for lingering issues.
