Compacted earth fill for power-plant foundation

Smoots, V.A. / Benton, P.H.

Construction of foundations for 142,000 kw Unit 1, of Chula Vista, Calif power plant; because soil was soft and bedrock was at depth of 210 ft, compacted fill method was selected to support 100 by 240 ft foundation slab; soil was excavated to 10 ft depth and backfilled with carefully compacted dune sand; excavation by scraper; fill specifications; data on vibratory compaction and settlement; costs were 2/3 less than that of pile foundation.
