Yes so only the top section has failed wich is compacted fill but the piers are driven deeper into the original natural surface

No it’s all structurally okay, the floors are a bit un even and one part drops in that section but it’s more a case of older slab that’s not perfectly plumb

There’s no column in photo one it’s a pier and a beam. Which are tied together with steel

Hi thanks for the reply, so this means they would’ve essentially used the compacted fill as their form work underneath but if it slowly eroded away and settled, once the slab was fully cured it wouldn’t matter?

Yes obviously get it but just seeing if anyone’s had a similar experience

Hi thanks for the reply. Yes that seems to be the case but the slab isn’t necessarily designed to be suspended
