Abstract
A case of using the grouting method to uplift a tilted building is reported in this paper. This building is a nine-storey reinforced concrete structure with a one-storey basement. After the completion of constructional works, the building was found to be settled a little bit and tilted about 1/270. Two stages of grouting were conducted. The first stage was the compact grouting, aimed to consolidate the soft soils underneath the foundation slab. Then, the second stage low-pressure grouting was applied to uplift the building. After the completion of grouting, the maximum tilt angle was reduced to 1/787, which fulfills the requirement of serviceability of the building.
