underpinning

Just added the bridge photo. The proping system on this job was what we called a "pig sty" which appeared to be common usage with the railway workers. I can't find it used on the web. Is there another more correct name for using timbers in this way?. The line was still in use and the supports held while iron ore trains used the bridge. billbeee 21:53, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

31may2010 - changed weakening to strengthening when discussing the use of grout as an alternative to underpinning: "An alternative to underpinning is the [B]strengthening[/B] of the soil by the introduction of a grout. All of these processes are generally expensive and elaborate." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Patbrry (talk • contribs) 12:58, 31 May 2010 (UTC) ou

23Nov2011 - here in Texas "Underpinning" means the stuff you peh stuff yYut around the exterior of an above-grade foundation like a post & beam or pier & beam foundation. It can also be known as skirting. It's usually something like Hardi-Board (fiber/concrete siding) or galvanized metal. You don't seem to address that usage here at all.
