Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The art of underpinning structures is as old as that of building itself, going back to ancient times. The purpose of underpinning is to increase the size or depth of a structure's foundation to make up for additional foundation capacity needed, called remedial underpinning, or to deepen the foundation because of adjacent construction, called precautionary underpinning. 3, record 1, English, - underpinning

La reprise en sous-œuvre est un art aussi vieux que celui de la construction, et remonte aux temps les plus anciens. D'une façon générale, son but est d'augmenter les dimensions ou la profondeur des fondations, pour remédier à une déficience de celles-ci ou encore pour prévenir l'influence de constructions voisines. 5, record 1, French, - reprise%20en%20sous%2D%26oelig%3Buvre
