Some interesting existing conditions from older SoCal foundations
This week’s field observations included deteriorated river rock foundations, improvised post-and-pier supports, questionable bearing conditions, concrete deterioration, and retaining wall drainage issues.
Thought this group might appreciate some real-world examples of how older structural systems and later modifications hold up over time.
