Chapter Dinner Meeting

Presentation: The Case of the Sinking Column – Micropile Repair and CFRP Strengthening

This presentation examines a case study of a garage repair project that involved a column footing that experienced significant settlement. We will discuss the design of a footing thickening repair, new micropile deep foundations used to jack up the column, and CFRP strengthening of the deflected slab. This is also a lesson learned in the significant financial cost that can be associated with failing to maintain simple preventative maintenance items.

Presenter: Kathryn Stairs, PE.
