    Is there reinforcing steel in the bottom concrete? and how often? what is the spacing? Also is there piles in the underpinned concrete?

    So you build a form for each section and then the concrete is poured and is touching the underside of the unsupported section of wall, and when it dries it supports the wall? There is no settling? Do you use rebar? Does the rebar overlap into the adjacent section?

    I dug about 2 feet under the house footings (one corner of the house) to pour 40cm of deep concrete than put a concrete block 30cmx30cm of diameter to jack up the house levelling but at this depth clay is softer than where the original footing is. If l pour concrete than level it would it be ok or what is your advice? I need help. Thank you
