Hey everyone,
I have a little problem, I have a huge raft to construct but with 2 expansion joints. Thus, the Basement 2 level that i have is divided into 3 slabs. The problem is that the water level is high and i'm constructing on sand and shell (beach soil type). Thus, having an expansion joint in a raft is almost impossible as it would cause a very high pressure on the expansion joint area between the raft. This would cause an uncontrollable flood... Any suggestion?
