The Science of Foundations — Its Present and Future
The paper reviews the present state of the science of foundations, its principal shortcomings, and the possibilities for its improvement. The principal shortcomings were found to be: First, the practice of selecting the admissible soil pressure regardless of the area covered by the individual foundations and irrespective of the maximum differential settlement that the superstructure can stand without injury; second, the practice of computing the bearing capacity of the piles by the Engineering News formula regardless of the character of the soil; and, third, the practice of considering the bearing power of the individual piles as a sufficient guaranty that the bearing capacity of the entire foundation will be adequate.
