Correcting the tilt of a nine-story apartment building
Conclusions 1. The tilt of a building was caused by the accidential wetting of the loess bed, weakened by the presence of a significant number of excavations filled by loose soil into which piles had been embedded in a design violation, and by the poor quality of pile-driving work, which had reduced the degree of necessary soil compaction and the ability of the piles to resist loads. 2. The method adopted to correct the tilt was adequately effective, and made it possible to reduce the tilt from 460 to 66 mm during the 3.5 months that the foundation bed was wetted. 3. Under the given conditions, it was possible to eliminate further tilting during the wetting of the foundation bed with the stipulation that all excavations be filled with sand compacted to $ γ_{sk} $=1.65 tons/$ m^{3} $ and that piles be driven into the natural soil without the drilling of large-volume leader holes.
