PURPOSE:To greatly suppress the escape of prestress introduced to the ground by a method in which a lubricant material is provided between the ground and the base bottom slab. CONSTITUTION:In the portion beneath the column and walls of a building in the base bottom slab 5, a projected base ...
slabjacking—the process of either raising concrete slabs or filling voids under them, or both, by pressure injecting a material (cementitious, noncementitious, or asphaltic) under the slabs. slab-on-grade—a slab, continuously supported by ground, whose total loading when uniformly distributed wou...
This can happen in two ways, either from cracks that form due to shrinkage and stress as well as heaving (where a slab is unevenly sloped) which cause some of the water to seep under and freeze; or by rainwater soaking into an unprotected porous layer below ground level which freezes ...
