Recent Developments in Pneumatic Foundations for Buildings
The purpose of this paper is to review briefly the recent and very interesting development in foundations of the class generally used for the high buildings being erected in the lower section of New York City. The earth there overlies a stratum of rock, the depth of which varies from 40 to 100 ft., and the enormous loads are carried most securely by concrete piers built with pneumatic caissons, and resting directly on the substratum of rock.
