Excerpt from Foundations for Tall Buildings Foundation construction for tall buildings in both Chicago and New York has undergone rapid changes in the last decade. These changes are due to the increased loads on the clay upon which the structures rested before the method of deep foundations to bed-rock came into use. The clay stata underlying the prairie soil of Chicago changes materially even in short distances. In general, however, there are six to twelve feet of loam and quick-sand, followed by a layer of clay, which is hard and firm in some places, while in others it is so soft and wet that it may readily be taken out with a spade. In the business districts of Chicago where all the great business blocks are located, the clay, often mixed with a strata of quick-sand, reaches down from forty to eighty feet to a limestone foundation. If there are any hard-pan layers within the reach of ordinary piles, there seems to be no indications that they are uniform, or at all to be relied upon. In New York, the average depth to bed-rock is about thirty-five feet. Throughout the island, there is a decided variance in the depths to bed-rock. In the New York Stock Exchange Building it was found necessary to go sixty feet below the curb line, while in the Siegel and Cooper Building, at one end, bed-rock was found at a distance of only twelve feet below the street grade. The general character of the material from the surface to bed rock, is; (a) the surface ground, or made ground; (b) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Foundations of Bridges and Buildings A large proportion of space is devoted to piles and pile driving, since young engineers are more likely to obtain their early experience with pile foundations than With any other class of foundation construction. Many facts derived from experience are given to emphasize and illustrate the application of funda mental principles and to form a rational basis for that kind of j udgment Which is such an important element in an engineer's professional practice. The undesirable features of considerable pile driving in this country have been due as much to the as sumption that the art of pile driving is so simple that the aid of science is not essential, as to the attempt of some engineers to base the art upon theoretical rules Which fail to take into account many practical factors of the problem. Another reason for extending the treatment is due to the recent intro duction of concrete piles Which Will help to retain the dominant place that pile foundations have held heretofore among other classes of foundations.

This book provides a comprehensive guide to the design of foundations for tall buildings. After a general review of the characteristics of tall buildings, various foundation options are discussed followed by the general principles of foundation design as applied to tall buildings. Considerable attention is paid to the methods of assessment of the geotechnical design parameters, as this is a critical component of the design process. A detailed treatment is then given to foundation design for various conditions, including ultimate stability, serviceability, ground movements, dynamic loadings and seismic loadings. Basement wall design is also addressed. The last part of the book deals with pile load testing and foundation performance measurement, and finally, the description of a number of case histories. A feature of the book is the emphasis it places on the various stages of foundation design: preliminary, detailed and final, and the presentation of a number of relevant methods of design associated with each stage.

Excerpt from Foundations of Structures In foundation work the engineer must use rocks and soil as structural materials. He realizes that the planning of'the superstructure should be based upon the characteristics of the materials of which it is to be built, and he may select and use the materials that will best serve his purpose. On the other hand, in planning the substructure, he must use whatever soils are already there, or he must devise ways to improve the situation in the interests of safety and suitable economy.

Excerpt from Foundation Caissons for the Grower Building: Thesis for Degree of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering, College of Engineering, University of Illinois, Presented June 1906 The securing of roper foundations for tall buildings in the business district of Chicago has long been a serious problem. In Chicago the strata are as follows: from O to - 20 ft. A loosley compacted mixture of sand and clay; from -20 to -75 ft. Practically a continuous layer of stiff clay with an occasional streak of sand; from -75 to 95 ft. Hard pan with frequent sand streaks; and from - 95 to -106 ft. Bed rock.

The book deals with the geotechnical analysis and design of foundation systems for high-rise buildings and other complex structures with a distinctive soil-structure interaction. The basics of the analysis of stability and serviceability, necessary soil investigations, important technical regulations and quality and safety assurance are explained and possibilities for optimised foundation systems are given. Additionally, special aspects of foundation systems such as geothermal activated foundation systems and the reuse of existing foundations are described and illustrated by examples from engineering practice.

Excerpt from Foundations for Bridges and Buildings: A Thesis The pneumatic caisson process of placing foundations affords an example of the value of applying scientific principles in the development of an art. The wooden type of caisson is the most widely used in this country and for this reason more space has been devoted to it than to the other types. One of the problems largely unsolved as yet is the question of caisson disease. The two articles on this subject give a careful resume of our present knowledge of this subject.
