In a home foundation sinking reinforcement project, it is very common to say that the home foundation sinking is sinking. It is a comprehensive process to determine whether the home foundation sinking needs to be strengthened or not, which requires taking into account many factors. The following is to introduce the judgment basis of home foundation sinking reinforcement:

Observe the home foundation sinking damage

1, cracks and deformation: Check the home foundation sinking components (such as beams, columns, walls, etc.) whether there are obvious cracks or deformation. The width, length, distribution and deformation degree of cracks are important judgment basis. If the crack width is large, the length is long, the distribution is dense or the deformation is obvious, it may mean that the home foundation sinking has been seriously damaged and needs to be reinforced.

2, corrosion and rust: for metal home foundation sinking(such as steel home foundation sinking), check whether there is serious corrosion or rust phenomenon. Corrosion and rust can reduce the carrying capacity and stability of the home foundation sinking, so it is necessary to strengthen the home foundation sinking treatment in a timely manner.

Testing home foundation sinking capacity

1, professional testing: through professional testing means (such as static load test, dynamic load test, etc.) to test the bearing capacity of home foundation sinking. If the test results show that the home foundation sinking capacity cannot meet the requirements of current or future use, then it will need to be strengthened.

2. Evaluation report: Prepare an evaluation report based on the test results to clarify the existing problems of home foundation sinking and the measures to be taken to strengthen it. The evaluation report shall be issued by a professional organization or personnel with corresponding qualifications.

Consider changes in usage features and requirements

1, functional change: If the use of the building function changes (such as from residential to commercial use), it may lead to an increase in the load or a change in the way it is distributed. At this point, it is necessary to assess whether the home foundation sinking is able to meet the new operational requirements and decide whether reinforcement is necessary.

2. Expansion and renovation: For buildings requiring expansion or renovation, the impact of the expansion or renovation on the original home foundation sinking should be assessed, and whether the original home foundation sinking can withstand the additional load brought by the expansion or renovation. If the original home foundation sinking cannot meet the requirements, it will need to be reinforced.

Consider natural hazards and geological conditions

1. Impact of natural disasters: If the building is located in an area prone to natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods and storms, it is necessary to consider the impact of these natural disasters on the home foundation sinking. If a home foundation sinking has a safety risk or fails to meet local requirements such as earthquake resistance and wind resistance, it needs to be strengthened.

2, changes in geological conditions: changes in geological conditions (such as foundation settlement, landslide, etc.) may also have an impact on home foundation sinking. If a change in geological conditions causes the home foundation sinking to be damaged or less stable, it needs to be strengthened.

Consider cost and risk

1. Reinforcement cost: When considering whether to carry out reinforcement treatment, it is necessary to evaluate the cost required for reinforcement. If the cost of reinforcement is too high and beyond the affordability range, you need to weigh the pros and cons and make a sound decision.

2, reinforcement risk: reinforcement construction itself also has certain risks (such as construction safety problems, reinforcement effect problems, etc.). Therefore, when deciding on reinforcement treatment, it is necessary to fully consider these risks and formulate corresponding countermeasures.

To sum up, determining whether a home foundation sinking needs to be strengthened requires a comprehensive consideration of several factors. If you have difficulty making accurate judgments or decisions, it is recommended to seek professional help and advice.
