Reducing the effect of rising water table on the shallow foundation settlement using geopolymer resin injections
This paper investigates the use of expanding geopolymer resin injections as a cost-effective alternative solution to reduce foundation settlement due to a rising water table through numerical modeling. The settlement of shallow foundations on granular soils is a critical factor in their design, and the rise of the water table due to seasonal or hydrological changes can lead to additional settlements, affecting the structural integrity of the asset.
The use of expansive geopolymers to mitigate floor slab settlement
This paper provides an overview about geopolymers that can provide cost-effective solutions to lift and stabilise heavily loaded slabs suffering from excessive settlement. Within the paper, a detailed case study for a commercial warehouse with a failing concrete slab was examined to illustrate how geopolymer injections have effectively stabilised the slab without affecting the operations.
