Report on cause and correction of foundation troubles of box factory at Natchez Mississippi
Following completion of plant, settlement occurred in foundations under practically all buildings and machinery. Trouble was found to be due to softening of top of 20 ft. of soil by water that could not escape through impervious blue clay under it. Correction was effected by excavating trenches through top soil to blue clay, installing porous tile and wood box drains and back-filling trenches to surface with cinders and gravel containing large percentage of sand.
