Hi,
I work from an old wharehouse (1890ish) that has a stone wall part of which
is about 1.5 metres below the outside ground level. This wall is bowing
inwards (the clay soil has heaved it over the years). It is not too bad and
doesn't appear to have moved for a while, so I am not that worried.
However, in one section the wall also bows vertically - this is the bit that
is worrying me.
To hold the movement in check sould I fit an rsj vertically down the wall at
the worst point of the bow. This rsj could then tie into a base plate on the
floor and an rsj that already runs accross the width of the room at ceiling
height?
Or is there another way for solving this type of problem?
Any advice please.
Thanks,
Dave
