       1. First, on the side close to the existing building foundation, excavate vertical pits about 1.2 m long and about 0.9 m wide in batches, sections, and at intervals. For sandy soil or soft ground where the pit walls cannot stand vertically, pit wall support must be provided. The bottom of the vertical pit may be 1.5 m deeper than the bottom of the original foundation;

  2. Excavate a foundation pit laterally beneath the bottom of the original foundation, with the same width as the foundation and a depth reaching the design bearing stratum;

  3. The pit body beneath the foundation shall be filled with cast-in-place concrete, and pouring shall stop at 80 mm from the bottom of the original foundation. After curing for one day, fill the gap at the base with dry, stiff cement mortar mixed with an expansive agent and an accelerator, then strike wooden strips with a hammer and compact the filled mortar.
