Types of soils found in Hong Kong, applications, advantages and limitations of various site investigation methods, foundation designs for tall buildings, pile loading tests and pile capacities; importance of hammer weight/pile weight ratio for driven piling of all types is stressed; large diameter bored piles or caissons must come into greater use for very tall buildings; these will probably be used at reduced spacings and reduced group reduction factors; evidence points to low friction values in Hong Kong's predominantly granular soils.
