This needs more than dirt. You need a geologist and engineer. Depending on the makeup of the land, you may need pilings driven into the bedrock and geogrid for the retention walls and plant life for soil retention. Otherwise one really good rain season and you're right back to were you started because you put a bandaid on a severed artery.

@jacquesdeklerk5563 Год назад

My thoughts exactly. I am also a civil engineer specialising foundations and this is as sketch as it gets. Needs to have geotechnical and structural engineers on site. There needs to be piles to secure the slope and most likely some retaining walls. That loose soil is going to do absolutely nothing but add weight to the slip area.

@bobbuckleyjr.4343 Год назад

Word of advice. Never cut into a mountain and use the fill to build on. Think of a square cut in half diagonally and used for fill. If this is the case spend some serious money for piers and a serious drainage system underneath the ground and gravel the heck out of it while compacting the heck out of it. Create a slope less than 20-25 degrees and plant rapid vegetation/trees on the soil. Terrence the front and back of the house and stabilizing piers all over the place. Again gravel underneath the home like crazy and ever where else, so the water percolates under the home like a underground creek. Think about buying land behind you if it can be bought. Just a few thoughts.

@thecrippledhandyman Год назад

@stuwest3653 Год назад

This is why you hire an engineer before building on a hillside of loose dirt. No rebar was used, anywhere and the retaining walls never had a chance. It's amazing how cheap some people can be only to their own detriment. I can only imagine how many other corners were cut in the construction of this "house" I'd cut my losses and start over.

@kd5nrh Год назад

There might well have been an engineer involved at the start, but it looks like he got some discount contractors, and nobody was checking during construction. I've sent out plans that called for 36" deep, 18" diameter footers, then gone to inspect the carnage after a storm, only to find the crew hadn't even dug the footers 6" deep. Just enough to set a short piece of sonotube on top, pour in some concrete and make it look right for a visual inspection. Footers that should have weighed 750 pounds each weren't even 75 pounds.

@nessrcslotcarracer8024 Год назад

Those concrete blocks are called bin blocks and are notorious for not having any retaining structural strength. As a bridge engineer I suggest large Rip Rap and steel sheet piles 2/3 of the height driven into the ground. Hydro seeding is a good start. Adding concrete curbing to limit the water runoff down the hillside will help as well. Keeping the water on the asphalt will be best and letting it run down the driveway.

@ldvan100 Год назад

You read my mind, I read your mind long before I read your comment.. Bottom line, great minds think alike.. Several rows of sheet piles are the only thing that will save the upcoming landslide...

Depends how deep the sheet piles need to go before their into decent beating strata. If your just driving them into gravelly sand they won't last long. Still better than nothing though.

@craigweigand2072 Год назад

Compaction starts at the bottom of the fill, putting grass, more material or even retaining walls on such a fill can actually make it more dangerous.

@antonetteulloa102 Год назад

you need a deadman/ retaining wall on the side of the slope to keep the dirt from sliding. Then back it up with tiers and plants to hold the soil to keep it from eroding. Also, you need a cement ditch to have the water diverted from the back of the house and to run down the street to keep it from soaking up standing water and creating a landslide or create a sinkhole. At the front where you all are working needs the bottom of the retaining walls three-tiered terrace to allow the water to drain from the bottom of the beds.

@johnkimball314 Год назад

There's a reason we call that area "The Sand Pit". People have been trying to build on that and some neighboring slopes for decades. Many gave up.

This is not a fix. Your first problem is the lack of vegetation on this hillside causing reels and gully’s to form. If the quality of the soil does not allow vegetation growth, rock stabilization structures are your next move just to protect the hillside. Nonetheless, benching out a hillside for a house basically creates a man made landslide that never stops falling. When you add more weight to a hillside that has been cut out, it makes the toe of that slope kick out. Thus what you see causing the top to sink. Rule of thumb: don’t bench out a sandy mountain to build a house….

@owain7629 Месяц назад

What you lads have done there is placed a load of unsorted, loose soil on top of loose soil at the crest of the slope… temporary slope works e.g. buttressing (which I assume you are trying to achieve here) should start at the toe of the slope and work your way up by compacting the soil thereby increasing its density and shear strength! Can’t help but think what was shown in the video has actually made matters worse by inducing a load at the top of the slope. As soon as the rain comes, the unit weight of the soil will increase, and the demanding stresses will eventually overcome the shear capacity of the soil leading to a bigger slope failure.. I’d suggest a rethink of the temporary works. But from what can be seen in the video, the remedial works may exceed the value of the property..

In the back yard if its at all possible you build a ditch that arches around the house with a thick layer of soilcrete in front and behind the ditch.

The answer is to do what California did to a very large hill that kept collapsing on the road next to it. They used the same sort of anchors that they use in mines to prevent the roofs and sides collapsing and combined them with what would be considered french drains that allowed water that soaked into the soil on the hill to drain out and prevented it from cause the soil to expand and become loose and shift easier. The anchors are like the ones they use when they cut the slopes off overpasses to prevent the soil under the roadway from collapsing outward while working on it. They can also use them to anchor retaining walls deep into the hill so soil pressure can not push them out and cause them to collapse.

@JCJC650 11 месяцев назад

Those slopes need a really good mixture of stabilising grasses, plants, bushes and deep rooting trees. Ideally it would need much taller engineered retaining walls with proper foundations to create stable flatter areas with correct drainage.

Looks like the muscle has some issues that a little loose dirt isn't going to fix. He needs something with some structure for sure. Sheet piles would be a good start. Definitely need some sort of drainage plan to divert all the water. I don't care if you in Florida or in Utah. Water and loose soil on a slope doesn't work well together, water will always win.

@@trishabarker9314 more dollars than sense “they know how to do dirt work” Grading for positive drainage is pretty basic but they obviously don’t understand principles of site preparation prior to building on such a loose hillside.

@ghostma13 9 месяцев назад

Id say building in sand wasn't thought out very well,but its got enough dirt mixer to plant in, so plant bushes and trees and whatever else all a long the front and around the property so they can grow and the roots can spread out all through the ground and reinforce the soil and the rain will be sucked up by the trees and all the rest of the plants and won't wash out the soil instead,it basically same as putting rebar in concrete or fibers in anything that needs held together stonger and something to hold onto.

Concrete drainage ditches need to be run along the side of the roads and divert to a concrete run that goes down the hill. We have lots of examples of this in Phoenix where they have dug out mountains for homes and trails and they do this as part of standard practice so water runoff does not erode the lower down hill part.

The first job I did after graduation was open pit mine. I worked for the engineering firm that was able to stabilize 85 degree 200 foot vertical cut in similar material. We did work along river banks that were 300 feet high with houses on them. If the owner hires the correct engineering firm they should be able to solve the problems. When the house was built the foundation was probably surveyed in. If they come back they should be able to determine if the house is moving. If it is the engineering firm will need to know to set a plan to correct the slope stability. Nice house.
