1.0 Introduction
Qualtest Laboratory NSW Pty Ltd (Qualtest) is pleased to present this geotechnical assessment
report on behalf of McCloy Development Management (McCloy), for “The Bower” residential
subdivision, Stage 4A, located off Bower Road and Liberty Road, Medowie.
Based on the brief and Sales Plan provided by the client, Stage 5 is understood to comprise of
26 residential allotments (Lots 501 to 526).
The scope of work for the geotechnical investigation included providing discussion and
recommendations on the following:
Site classification to AS2870-2011, “Residential Slabs and Footings”.
This report presents the results of the field work investigations and laboratory testing, and
provides recommendations for the scope outlined above.
The report also includes selected results from the previous geotechnical assessments carried
out for The Bower subdivision by Qualtest (Refer to Section 2.0), to supplement information
collected during the current investigation where applicable.

3.0 Field Work
The field work investigations were carried out on 14 and 15 October 2018, comprising of:
DBYD search was undertaken to check proposed test locations for the presence of
underground services;
Site walkover to make observations of surface features at the property and in the
immediate surrounding area;
PROPOSED SUBDIVISION – THE BOWER STAGE 5 – BOWER ROAD, MEDOWIE
7 September 2018 2 NEW15P-0033H-AB
Excavation of 23 test pits (TPQ-501, TPQ-503, TPQ-505 to TPQ-508, TPQ-510 to TPQ-514, TPQ-
514A and TPQ-515 to TPQ-525) using a 2.5 tonne rubber tracked excavator equipped with
a 450mm wide bucket to depths of up to 2.20m or prior refusal on weathered rock;
Undisturbed samples (U50 tubes) and small bag samples were taken for subsequent
laboratory testing;
Test pits were backfilled with the excavation spoil and compacted using the excavator
bucket and tracks.
Investigations were carried out by an experienced Geotechnical Engineer from Qualtest who
located the test pits, carried out the testing and sampling, produced field logs of the test pits,
and made observations of the site surface conditions.
Engineering logs of the test pits are presented in Appendix A.
Approximate test pit locations are shown on the attached Figure AB1. Test pits were located in
the field by handheld GPS and relative to existing site features including topographic features,
lot boundaries and existing developments.
4.0 Site Description
4.1 Site Regrade Works
Site re-grading works were conducted on site for Lots 506 to 514 with Stage 5, between the
dates of 31 May 2017 and 19 March 2018. Initial filling was performed during bulk earthworks
undertaken for Stage 2 and Stage 4, which included the filling of a previous site dam, removal
of stockpiled fill and re-grading of lots to final design level.
Prior to filling, re-grade areas were stripped of all topsoil and unsuitable material to expose
suitable natural residual foundation profile. Re-grade works then consisted of filling with
approved site fill to finish design levels.
Filling was performed using site material won from excavations cut from around the site. The fill
material could generally be described as mixtures of Sandy CLAY and Silty CLAY, of medium to
high plasticity, fine to coarse grained sand, and with some fine to coarse grained gravel
inclusions.
The approximate depth of fill placed ranged in the order of about 0.3m to 1.5m for the lots. The
fill was compacted in maximum lifts of 0.3m thickness. Any unsuitable or deleterious material
within the fill was removed by hand or mechanical means prior to final compaction of layers.
As the geotechnical testing authority engaged for the project, we state that the filling
performed for the regrade areas within Stage 5 (Lots 506 to 514), was carried out to Level 1
criteria as defined in Clause 8.2 – Section 8, of AS3798-2007, ‘Guidelines on Earthworks for
Commercial and Residential Developments’.
4.2 Surface Conditions
Stage 5 is located off Bower Road and Liberty Road, Medowie, as shown in Figure AB1.
The site is bounded by adjoining subdivision Stages 1 & 2 to the south, by Stage 4 and future
Stage 8 to the east, by proposed future stages of the subdivision to the west and future park
area to the north. The area of the proposed future stages generally comprises mostly cleared
disused farmland and bushland.
At the time of the site investigation, trafficability by way of 4WD vehicle was good.

Based on observations on the days of the investigation which was carried out during fine
weather, the site was judged to generally be moderately to well drained primarily by way of
surface runoff.
Selected photographs of the site taken on the day of the site investigation are shown below.

4.3 Subsurface Conditions
Reference to the 1:100,000 Newcastle Coalfield Regional Geology Sheet indicates the site to
be underlain by the Permian Aged Tomago Coal Measures, which are characterised by
Siltstone, Sandstone, Coal, Tuff and Claystone rock types.
Table 1 presents a summary of the typical soil types encountered at test pit locations during the
field investigation, divided into representative geotechnical units.

generally highly reactive.
6.0 Site Classification to AS2870-2011
Based on the results of the field work, laboratory testing, and site regrade works carried out,
residential lots located within The Bower Stage 5, Medowie, as shown in attached Figure AB1
are classified in their current condition in accordance with AS2870-2011 ’Residential Slabs and
Footings’, as shown in Table 5.
TABLE 5 – SITE CLASSIFICATION TO AS2870-2011
Stage Lot Numbers Site Classification
5 501 to 505 & 515 to526 H1
5 506 to 514 H2
PROPOSED SUBDIVISION – THE BOWER STAGE 5, MEDOWIE
19 September 2018 9 NEW15P-0033H-AB
A characteristic free surface movement in the range of 40mm to 60mm is estimated for the lots
classified as Class ‘H1’ in their existing condition.
A characteristic free surface movement in the range of 60mm to 75mm is estimated for the lots
classified as Class ‘H2’ in their existing condition.
The effects of changes to the soil profile by additional cutting and filling and the effects of past
and future trees should be considered in selection of the design value for differential
movement.
If site re-grading works involving cutting or filling are performed after the date of this assessment
the classification may change and further advice should be sought.
Final site classification will be dependent on the type of fill and level of supervision carried out.
Re-classification of lots should be confirmed by the geotechnical authority at the time of
construction following any site re-grade works.
Footings for the proposed development should be designed and constructed in accordance
with the requirements of AS2870-2011.
The classification presented above assumes that:
All footings are founded in controlled fill (if applicable) or in the residual clayey soils or rock
below all non-controlled fill, topsoil material and root zones, and fill under slab panels meets
the requirements of AS2870-2011, in particular, the root zone must be removed prior to the
placement of fill materials beneath slabs.
The performance expectations set out in Appendix B of AS2870-2011 are acceptable, and
that site foundation maintenance is undertaken to avoid extremes of wetting and drying.
Footings are to be founded outside of or below all zones of influence resulting from existing
or future service trenches.
The constructional and architectural requirements for reactive clay sites set out in AS2870-
2011 are followed.
Adherence to the detailing requirement outlined in Section 5 of AS2870-2011 ‘Residential
Slabs and Footings’ is essential, in particular Section 5.6, ‘Additional requirements for Classes
M, H1, H2 and E sites’ including architectural restrictions, plumbing and drainage
requirements.
Site maintenance complies with the provisions of CSIRO Sheet BTF 18, “Foundation
Maintenance and Footing Performance: A Homeowner’s Guide”, a copy of which is
attached in Appendix C.
All structural elements on all lots should be supported on footings founded beneath all
uncontrolled fill, layers of inadequate bearing capacity, soft/loose, wet or other potentially
deleterious material.
If any localised areas of uncontrolled fill of depths greater than 0.4m are encountered during
construction, footings should be designed in accordance with engineering principles for
Class ‘P’ sites.

Foundation Maintenance and Footing
Performance: A Homeowner’s Guide
Soil Types
The types of soils usually present under the topsoil in land zoned forresidential buildings can be split into two approximate groups –granular and clay. Quite often, foundation soil is a mixture of bothtypes. The general problems associated with soils having granularcontent are usually caused by erosion. Clay soils are subject tosaturation and swell/shrink problems.
Classifications for a given area can generally be obtained byapplication to the local authority, but these are sometimes unreliableand if there is doubt, a geotechnical report should be commissioned.As most buildings suffering movement problems are founded on claysoils, there is an emphasis on classification of soils according to theamount of swell and shrinkage they experience with variations ofwater content. The table below is Table 2.1 from AS 2870, theResidential Slab and Footing Code.
Causes of Movement
Settlement due to constructionThere are two types of settlement that occur as a result ofconstruction:• Immediate settlement occurs when a building is first placed on its
foundation soil, as a result of compaction of the soil under theweight of the structure. The cohesive quality of clay soil mitigatesagainst this, but granular (particularly sandy) soil is susceptible.
• Consolidation settlement is a feature of clay soil and may takeplace because of the expulsion of moisture from the soil or becauseof the soil’s lack of resistance to local compressive or shear stresses.This will usually take place during the first few months afterconstruction, but has been known to take many years inexceptional cases.
These problems are the province of the builder and should be takeninto consideration as part of the preparation of the site for construc-tion. Building Technology File 19 (BTF 19) deals with theseproblems.
ErosionAll soils are prone to erosion, but sandy soil is particularly susceptibleto being washed away. Even clay with a sand component of say 10%or more can suffer from erosion.
SaturationThis is particularly a problem in clay soils. Saturation creates a bog-like suspension of the soil that causes it to lose virtually all of itsbearing capacity. To a lesser degree, sand is affected by saturationbecause saturated sand may undergo a reduction in volume –particularly imported sand fill for bedding and blinding layers.However, this usually occurs as immediate settlement and shouldnormally be the province of the builder.
Seasonal swelling and shrinkage of soilAll clays react to the presence of water by slowly absorbing it, makingthe soil increase in volume (see table below). The degree of increasevaries considerably between different clays, as does the degree ofdecrease during the subsequent drying out caused by fair weatherperiods. Because of the low absorption and expulsion rate, thisphenomenon will not usually be noticeable unless there areprolonged rainy or dry periods, usually of weeks or months,depending on the land and soil characteristics.
The swelling of soil creates an upward force on the footings of thebuilding, and shrinkage creates subsidence that takes away thesupport needed by the footing to retain equilibrium.
Shear failureThis phenomenon occurs when the foundation soil does not havesufficient strength to support the weight of the footing. There aretwo major post-construction causes:• Significant load increase.• Reduction of lateral support of the soil under the footing due to
erosion or excavation.• In clay soil, shear failure can be caused by saturation of the soil
adjacent to or under the footing.
Buildings can and often do move. This movement can be up, down, lateral or rotational. The fundamental causeof movement in buildings can usually be related to one or more problems in the foundation soil. It is important forthe homeowner to identify the soil type in order to ascertain the measures that should be put in place in order toensure that problems in the foundation soil can be prevented, thus protecting against building movement.
This Building Technology File is designed to identify causes of soil-related building movement, and to suggestmethods of prevention of resultant cracking in buildings.

GENERAL DEFINITIONS OF SITE CLASSES
Class Foundation
A Most sand and rock sites with little or no ground movement from moisture changes
S Slightly reactive clay sites with only slight ground movement from moisture changes
M Moderately reactive clay or silt sites, which can experience moderate ground movement from moisture changes
H Highly reactive clay sites, which can experience high ground movement from moisture changes
E Extremely reactive sites, which can experience extreme ground movement from moisture changes
A to P Filled sites
P Sites which include soft soils, such as soft clay or silt or loose sands; landslip; mine subsidence; collapsing soils; soils subject to erosion; reactive sites subject to abnormal moisture conditions or sites which cannot be classified otherwise
BTF 18replaces
InformationSheet 10/91
Tree root growthTrees and shrubs that are allowed to grow in the vicinity of footingscan cause foundation soil movement in two ways:
• Roots that grow under footings may increase in cross-sectionalsize, exerting upward pressure on footings.
• Roots in the vicinity of footings will absorb much of the moisturein the foundation soil, causing shrinkage or subsidence.
Unevenness of Movement
The types of ground movement described above usually occurunevenly throughout the building’s foundation soil. Settlement dueto construction tends to be uneven because of:
• Differing compaction of foundation soil prior to construction.• Differing moisture content of foundation soil prior to construction.
Movement due to non-construction causes is usually more unevenstill. Erosion can undermine a footing that traverses the flow or cancreate the conditions for shear failure by eroding soil adjacent to afooting that runs in the same direction as the flow.
Saturation of clay foundation soil may occur where subfloor wallscreate a dam that makes water pond. It can also occur wherever thereis a source of water near footings in clay soil. This leads to a severereduction in the strength of the soil which may create local shearfailure.
Seasonal swelling and shrinkage of clay soil affects the perimeter ofthe building first, then gradually spreads to the interior. The swellingprocess will usually begin at the uphill extreme of the building, or onthe weather side where the land is flat. Swelling gradually reaches theinterior soil as absorption continues. Shrinkage usually begins wherethe sun’s heat is greatest.
Effects of Uneven Soil Movement on Structures
Erosion and saturationErosion removes the support from under footings, tending to createsubsidence of the part of the structure under which it occurs.Brickwork walls will resist the stress created by this removal ofsupport by bridging the gap or cantilevering until the bricks or themortar bedding fail. Older masonry has little resistance. Evidence offailure varies according to circumstances and symptoms may include:
• Step cracking in the mortar beds in the body of the wall orabove/below openings such as doors or windows.
• Vertical cracking in the bricks (usually but not necessarily in linewith the vertical beds or perpends).
Isolated piers affected by erosion or saturation of foundations willeventually lose contact with the bearers they support and may tilt orfall over. The floors that have lost this support will become bouncy,sometimes rattling ornaments etc.
Seasonal swelling/shrinkage in claySwelling foundation soil due to rainy periods first lifts the mostexposed extremities of the footing system, then the remainder of theperimeter footings while gradually permeating inside the buildingfootprint to lift internal footings. This swelling first tends to create adish effect, because the external footings are pushed higher than theinternal ones.
The first noticeable symptom may be that the floor appears slightlydished. This is often accompanied by some doors binding on thefloor or the door head, together with some cracking of cornicemitres. In buildings with timber flooring supported by bearers andjoists, the floor can be bouncy. Externally there may be visibledishing of the hip or ridge lines.
As the moisture absorption process completes its journey to theinnermost areas of the building, the internal footings will rise. If thespread of moisture is roughly even, it may be that the symptoms willtemporarily disappear, but it is more likely that swelling will beuneven, creating a difference rather than a disappearance insymptoms. In buildings with timber flooring supported by bearersand joists, the isolated piers will rise more easily than the stripfootings or piers under walls, creating noticeable doming of flooring.
As the weather pattern changes and the soil begins to dry out, theexternal footings will be first affected, beginning with the locationswhere the sun’s effect is strongest. This has the effect of lowering theexternal footings. The doming is accentuated and cracking reducesor disappears where it occurred because of dishing, but other cracksopen up. The roof lines may become convex.
Doming and dishing are also affected by weather in other ways. Inareas where warm, wet summers and cooler dry winters prevail,water migration tends to be toward the interior and doming will beaccentuated, whereas where summers are dry and winters are coldand wet, migration tends to be toward the exterior and theunderlying propensity is toward dishing.
Movement caused by tree rootsIn general, growing roots will exert an upward pressure on footings,whereas soil subject to drying because of tree or shrub roots will tendto remove support from under footings by inducing shrinkage.
Complications caused by the structure itselfMost forces that the soil causes to be exerted on structures arevertical – i.e. either up or down. However, because these forces areseldom spread evenly around the footings, and because the buildingresists uneven movement because of its rigidity, forces are exertedfrom one part of the building to another. The net result of all theseforces is usually rotational. This resultant force often complicates thediagnosis because the visible symptoms do not simply reflect theoriginal cause. A common symptom is binding of doors on thevertical member of the frame.
Effects on full masonry structuresBrickwork will resist cracking where it can. It will attempt to spanareas that lose support because of subsided foundations or raisedpoints. It is therefore usual to see cracking at weak points, such asopenings for windows or doors.
In the event of construction settlement, cracking will usually remainunchanged after the process of settlement has ceased.
With local shear or erosion, cracking will usually continue to developuntil the original cause has been remedied, or until the subsidencehas completely neutralised the affected portion of footing and thestructure has stabilised on other footings that remain effective.
In the case of swell/shrink effects, the brickwork will in some casesreturn to its original position after completion of a cycle, however itis more likely that the rotational effect will not be exactly reversed,and it is also usual that brickwork will settle in its new position andwill resist the forces trying to return it to its original position. Thismeans that in a case where swelling takes place after constructionand cracking occurs, the cracking is likely to at least partly remainafter the shrink segment of the cycle is complete. Thus, each timethe cycle is repeated, the likelihood is that the cracking will becomewider until the sections of brickwork become virtually independent.
With repeated cycles, once the cracking is established, if there is noother complication, it is normal for the incidence of cracking tostabilise, as the building has the articulation it needs to cope withthe problem. This is by no means always the case, however, andmonitoring of cracks in walls and floors should always be treatedseriously.
Upheaval caused by growth of tree roots under footings is not asimple vertical shear stress. There is a tendency for the root to alsoexert lateral forces that attempt to separate sections of brickworkafter initial cracking has occurred.
Trees can cause shrinkage and damage
The normal structural arrangement is that the inner leaf of brick-work in the external walls and at least some of the internal walls(depending on the roof type) comprise the load-bearing structure onwhich any upper floors, ceilings and the roof are supported. In thesecases, it is internally visible cracking that should be the main focusof attention, however there are a few examples of dwellings whoseexternal leaf of masonry plays some supporting role, so this shouldbe checked if there is any doubt. In any case, externally visiblecracking is important as a guide to stresses on the structure generally,and it should also be remembered that the external walls must becapable of supporting themselves.
Effects on framed structuresTimber or steel framed buildings are less likely to exhibit crackingdue to swell/shrink than masonry buildings because of theirflexibility. Also, the doming/dishing effects tend to be lower becauseof the lighter weight of walls. The main risks to framed buildings areencountered because of the isolated pier footings used under walls.Where erosion or saturation cause a footing to fall away, this candouble the span which a wall must bridge. This additional stress cancreate cracking in wall linings, particularly where there is a weakpoint in the structure caused by a door or window opening. It is,however, unlikely that framed structures will be so stressed as to sufferserious damage without first exhibiting some or all of the abovesymptoms for a considerable period. The same warning period shouldapply in the case of upheaval. It should be noted, however, that whereframed buildings are supported by strip footings there is only one leafof brickwork and therefore the externally visible walls are thesupporting structure for the building. In this case, the subfloormasonry walls can be expected to behave as full brickwork walls.
Effects on brick veneer structuresBecause the load-bearing structure of a brick veneer building is theframe that makes up the interior leaf of the external walls plusperhaps the internal walls, depending on the type of roof, thebuilding can be expected to behave as a framed structure, except thatthe external masonry will behave in a similar way to the external leafof a full masonry structure.
Water Service and Drainage
Where a water service pipe, a sewer or stormwater drainage pipe is inthe vicinity of a building, a water leak can cause erosion, swelling orsaturation of susceptible soil. Even a minuscule leak can be enoughto saturate a clay foundation. A leaking tap near a building can havethe same effect. In addition, trenches containing pipes can becomewatercourses even though backfilled, particularly where brokenrubble is used as fill. Water that runs along these trenches can beresponsible for serious erosion, interstrata seepage into subfloor areasand saturation.
Pipe leakage and trench water flows also encourage tree and shrubroots to the source of water, complicating and exacerbating theproblem.Poor roof plumbing can result in large volumes of rainwater beingconcentrated in a small area of soil:
• Incorrect falls in roof guttering may result in overflows, as maygutters blocked with leaves etc.
• Corroded guttering or downpipes can spill water to ground.• Downpipes not positively connected to a proper stormwater
collection system will direct a concentration of water to soil that isdirectly adjacent to footings, sometimes causing large-scaleproblems such as erosion, saturation and migration of water underthe building.
Seriousness of Cracking
In general, most cracking found in masonry walls is a cosmeticnuisance only and can be kept in repair or even ignored. The tablebelow is a reproduction of Table C1 of AS 2870.
AS 2870 also publishes figures relating to cracking in concrete floors,however because wall cracking will usually reach the critical pointsignificantly earlier than cracking in slabs, this table is notreproduced here.
Prevention/Cure
PlumbingWhere building movement is caused by water service, roof plumbing,sewer or stormwater failure, the remedy is to repair the problem. It is prudent, however, to consider also rerouting pipes away fromthe building where possible, and relocating taps to positions whereany leakage will not direct water to the building vicinity. Even wheregully traps are present, there is sometimes sufficient spill to createerosion or saturation, particularly in modern installations usingsmaller diameter PVC fixtures. Indeed, some gully traps are notsituated directly under the taps that are installed to charge them,with the result that water from the tap may enter the backfilledtrench that houses the sewer piping. If the trench has been poorlybackfilled, the water will either pond or flow along the bottom ofthe trench. As these trenches usually run alongside the footings andcan be at a similar depth, it is not hard to see how any water that isthus directed into a trench can easily affect the foundation’s ability tosupport footings or even gain entry to the subfloor area.
Ground drainageIn all soils there is the capacity for water to travel on the surface andbelow it. Surface water flows can be established by inspection duringand after heavy or prolonged rain. If necessary, a grated drain systemconnected to the stormwater collection system is usually an easysolution.
It is, however, sometimes necessary when attempting to preventwater migration that testing be carried out to establish watertableheight and subsoil water flows. This subject is referred to in BTF 19and may properly be regarded as an area for an expert consultant.
Protection of the building perimeterIt is essential to remember that the soil that affects footings extendswell beyond the actual building line. Watering of garden plants,shrubs and trees causes some of the most serious water problems.
For this reason, particularly where problems exist or are likely tooccur, it is recommended that an apron of paving be installedaround as much of the building perimeter as necessary. This paving
CLASSIFICATION OF DAMAGE WITH REFERENCE TO WALLS
Description of typical damage and required repair Approximate crack width Damagelimit (see Note 3) category
Hairline cracks <0.1 mm 0
Fine cracks which do not need repair <1 mm 1
Cracks noticeable but easily filled. Doors and windows stick slightly <5 mm 2
Cracks can be repaired and possibly a small amount of wall will need 5–15 mm (or a number of cracks 3to be replaced. Doors and windows stick. Service pipes can fracture. 3 mm or more in one group)Weathertightness often impaired
Extensive repair work involving breaking-out and replacing sections of walls, 15–25 mm but also depend 4especially over doors and windows. Window and door frames distort. Walls lean on number of cracksor bulge noticeably, some loss of bearing in beams. Service pipes disrupted
should extend outwards a minimum of 900 mm (more in highlyreactive soil) and should have a minimum fall away from thebuilding of 1:60. The finished paving should be no less than 100mm below brick vent bases.
It is prudent to relocate drainage pipes away from this paving, ifpossible, to avoid complications from future leakage. If this is notpractical, earthenware pipes should be replaced by PVC andbackfilling should be of the same soil type as the surrounding soiland compacted to the same density.
Except in areas where freezing of water is an issue, it is wise toremove taps in the building area and relocate them well away fromthe building – preferably not uphill from it (see BTF 19).
It may be desirable to install a grated drain at the outside edge of thepaving on the uphill side of the building. If subsoil drainage isneeded this can be installed under the surface drain.
CondensationIn buildings with a subfloor void such as where bearers and joistssupport flooring, insufficient ventilation creates ideal conditions forcondensation, particularly where there is little clearance between thefloor and the ground. Condensation adds to the moisture alreadypresent in the subfloor and significantly slows the process of dryingout. Installation of an adequate subfloor ventilation system, eithernatural or mechanical, is desirable.
Warning: Although this Building Technology File deals withcracking in buildings, it should be said that subfloor moisture canresult in the development of other problems, notably:
• Water that is transmitted into masonry, metal or timber buildingelements causes damage and/or decay to those elements.
• High subfloor humidity and moisture content create an idealenvironment for various pests, including termites and spiders.
• Where high moisture levels are transmitted to the flooring andwalls, an increase in the dust mite count can ensue within theliving areas. Dust mites, as well as dampness in general, can be ahealth hazard to inhabitants, particularly those who areabnormally susceptible to respiratory ailments.
The gardenThe ideal vegetation layout is to have lawn or plants that requireonly light watering immediately adjacent to the drainage or pavingedge, then more demanding plants, shrubs and trees spread out inthat order.
Overwatering due to misuse of automatic watering systems is acommon cause of saturation and water migration under footings. Ifit is necessary to use these systems, it is important to remove gardenbeds to a completely safe distance from buildings.
Existing treesWhere a tree is causing a problem of soil drying or there is theexistence or threat of upheaval of footings, if the offending roots aresubsidiary and their removal will not significantly damage the tree,they should be severed and a concrete or metal barrier placedvertically in the soil to prevent future root growth in the direction ofthe building. If it is not possible to remove the relevant rootswithout damage to the tree, an application to remove the tree shouldbe made to the local authority. A prudent plan is to transplant likelyoffenders before they become a problem.
Information on trees, plants and shrubsState departments overseeing agriculture can give informationregarding root patterns, volume of water needed and safe distancefrom buildings of most species. Botanic gardens are also sources ofinformation. For information on plant roots and drains, see BuildingTechnology File 17.
ExcavationExcavation around footings must be properly engineered. Soilsupporting footings can only be safely excavated at an angle thatallows the soil under the footing to remain stable. This angle iscalled the angle of repose (or friction) and varies significantlybetween soil types and conditions. Removal of soil within the angleof repose will cause subsidence.
Remediation
Where erosion has occurred that has washed away soil adjacent tofootings, soil of the same classification should be introduced andcompacted to the same density. Where footings have beenundermined, augmentation or other specialist work may be required.Remediation of footings and foundations is generally the realm of aspecialist consultant.
Where isolated footings rise and fall because of swell/shrink effect,the homeowner may be tempted to alleviate floor bounce by fillingthe gap that has appeared between the bearer and the pier withblocking. The danger here is that when the next swell segment of thecycle occurs, the extra blocking will push the floor up into anaccentuated dome and may also cause local shear failure in the soil.If it is necessary to use blocking, it should be by a pair of finewedges and monitoring should be carried out fortnightly.
