Generated explanation

The illustration shows perspective and cross-section views of a foundation wall repaired with steel tie-backs. The wall has a horizontal crack and is shown bulging inward in cross section. Steel tie rods extend from anchor plates and nuts on the basement side of the wall, through the exterior backfill, to hinged anchors in the soil beyond. The drawings also show the foundation footing, basement concrete floor slab, exterior grade, and wood floor and wall framing above the foundation.
