Special foundations support Mexico City's buildings on highly compressible clay
Geologic and historic data; types of foundations used under both old and modern structures; explorations carried to nearly 20,000 ft have not encountered solid rock base; buildings supported on soft clay settle many feet; piles with timber grills, steel grillage, or mat foundations of reinforced concrete have been used most recently, long concrete Button-Bottom piles are being driven with good results.
