HEIGHT-ADJUSTABLE, STRUCTURALLY SUSPENDED SLABS FOR A STRUCTURAL FOUNDATION

摘要

To form a new structurally suspended slab or to raise an existing slab for a structural foundation, structural supports are placed in the ground. The structural supports are attached to lifting assemblies, which are also installed in the slab. Actuation of the lifting assembly allows the slab to be raised and/or lowered, thereby forming a suspended slab over a void of a desired size. Existing slabs may be repaired using similar techniques.
