And thanks for the good building inspector suggestion. Any recommendations? In WA when you pay for the Site report you get the footing Details/Data from the Engineer Building Inspectors have nothing to do with Certifying Structurals unless they are qualified Engineers. "Analysis Paralysis" results from conflicting, unqualified opinions, always ask for supporting data and proofs. my2c Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Re: Help verifying/understanding my site investigation repor 31Jan 30, 2019 9:05 am StructuralBIMGuy justme15 Thanks for that.

The builder fixed them all with signed off engineering as required. I cannot fault Darbecca and happily recommend them to inspect every stage of the build. Re: Help verifying/understanding my site investigation repor 32Jan 30, 2019 12:34 pm Just for those who might find it interesting, I learned this today.
Now as indicated by some, that doesn't necessarily mean it is wrong. It all depends on how 'good' that waffle slab is. I'm just trying to get details of the waffle slab installed currently. If any are still interested, I can post the details here. It would certainly help me too as I would struggle to make sense of the entire thing ahahah.

Waffle pods on reactive soils is something that needs to be prevented. https://www.cornellengineers.com.au/bew ... fle-slabs/ Re: Help verifying/understanding my site investigation repor 34Jan 30, 2019 5:09 pm justme15 Just for those who might find it interesting, I learned this today.

If you are using a soil report form 2007 then you will definitely need a new as the Australian standards have changed since then. An engineer can use engineering principles to design a slab so don't get to worried regarding the previous soil test. As structuralbimguy said your engineer will design the appropriate footings, just as long as you end up have deep piers to combat the trees at the rear we should be fine. ask the surveyor for clarification would be the logical approach 1 20135 I am not sure whether Perth has its own way of doing things in regards to this. Most of Perth has class A (sandy soil), except for some areas near rivers or hills. 2 13099 |
