Abstract:

A case history is provided of a slab on grade that has experienced significant differential and damaging movements caused by the swell of highly active clay soils. The damage is illustrated by profiles of the slab. Measures taken to stabilize the slab movements using moisture stabilization by installation of a lime-fly ash grout curtain are included. Relative elevations of the slab were determined to warrant the repair measures, which included establishment of a deep benchmark, measurements of elevations of the slab, and the injection stabilization. More than 1 year of elevation surveys are described. This information, along with personal accounts of those using the slab, indicates that foundation movements have essentially ceased.
