The paper presents a case study on the use of in-situ reinforcement technique, namely soil nail, to stabilize a shallow foundation of an existing building constructed on weathered siltstone. The two-dimensional limit equilibrium method was employed to evaluate the stability of the existing foundation with/without incorporating soil nail elements.

The study extensively investigated the ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) of an eccentrically loaded foundation under two scenarios (horizontal sandy soil and sandy soil slope), utilizing the Rigid Plastic Finite Element Method (RPFEM). To precisely simulate a diverse range of frictional conditions on the foundation surface roughness, a novel joint element is introduced, capable of accommodating both perfectly rough and perfectly smooth foundations.

This paper first briefly introduces principles, construction procedures and quality control techniques of an innovative CDM method that can create head-enlarged column, named as Point Foundation (PF). The method is practically implemented with a specific binder that is environment-friendly and more effective in strength enhancing compared with the common binder as cement.

There are two common kinds of foundations at present: Shallow and deep foundations. Shallow foundations are gravity structures built directly on natural base or with a buffer layer. Deep foundations are piled structures supported by pilework and deep-driven piling system. An applicable solution is the hollow structures, in which they are used as piles driven into soil through the main mechanism of gravity.
