Thank you very much all for explaining.

SHORING : It is the construction of a temporary structure to support temporarily an unsafe structure. The shores may be;

1)raking or inclined shores
2)flying or horizontal shores
3)dead or vertical shores.

UNDERPINNING : It is a process of placing new foundation or strengthening an existing foundation. Following methods are used for underpinning ;

1)pit underpinning
2)pier underpinning
3)pile underpinning

SCAFFOLDING : Scaffolding is the temporary structure to support the platform over which workman can sit and work. When the height above floor level becomes more than 1.5m scaffolding is needed.

Shoring is temporary supporting a building, structure, or a trench by using props.

What is shoring?

Underpinning may be accomplished by extending the foundation in depth or in breadth so it either rests on a more supportive soil stratum or distributes its load across a greater area. Use of micro piles and jet grouting are common methods in underpinning.

An alternative to underpinning is the strengthening of the soil by the introduction of a grout, including expanding urethane-based engineered structural resins.
