Technical factors influencing decisions to recommend underpinning of low-rise buildings on shrinkable clay (1993)
Thesis
Wilkin, D. Technical factors influencing decisions to recommend underpinning of low-rise buildings on shrinkable clay. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Foundations to buildings which fail, are frequently underpinned and since 1971 when
house insurers began to offer cover for damage due to "subsidence", the underpinning
industry has grown to enjoy a multi-million pound turnover. Much of England sou... Read More about Technical factors influencing decisions to recommend underpinning of low-rise buildings on shrinkable clay.
