Condition of large caissons during construction
Features of pier foundations of New York City's Narrows Bridge are described; pier foundation consisted of massive concrete caisson placed by open dredge method; Brooklyn tower pier is embedded in glacial sand of Wisconsin epoch and is founded 170 ft below sea level on silty clay of Gardiner interval; similar glacial sand is encountered at Staten Island pier which founded at El.-105 ft on transition of morainal deposit; bearing capacity of silty clay at cutting edge was determined to be 5.9 to 6.5 times shearing strength.
