Hong Kong ranks first in the world in both skyscraper and
high-rise count, with at least 52 skyscrapers over the height
of 200 m, and more than 7,687 highrise buildings. A high-
rise is defined as a structure at least 35 m or 12 stories tall.

Types of Foundations
• Foundation
– As a structural member that connects the superstructure with the ground
– As a system member transferring loads to soils/rocks
• Foundation types
– Shallow foundations
– Deep foundations
– Offshore foundations

Shallow Foundations
• Square
• Rectangular
• Circular
• Continuous
• Combined
• Ring

Shallow Foundations
HKUST Enterprise Center
Shallow foundations, where applicable, are often the most economic.

Eiffel Tower is supported
by a footing. Once the
tallest structure in the
world (1889), its
foundation has not
experienced any
excessive settlement.

The shaft resistance in soil layers
is often ignored in Hong Kong,
but is the primary resistance for
piles when bedrock cannot be
reached.

Foundations used to support offshore wind turbines. The
cost of foundations can represent up to 50% of the
development cost for an offshore wind farm.

• Types of foundations
• Design requirements
• Layout of foundations for high-rise buildings
21
Performance Requirements
• Strength requirements • Geotechnical strength: the ability of the soil or rock to accept the
loads imparted by the foundation without failing (bearing failure)
• Structural strength: the foundation’s structural integrity and its ability to safely carry the applied loads
• Serviceability requirements
• Both total settlement and differential settlement must be smaller than their allowable values
• Constructability requirements
• The foundation must be designed such that a contractor can build it without having to use extraordinary methods or equipment
• Economic requirements
• Economic, but more conservative than superstructures
Consequences of failure (to future engineers like you?)
If a builder builds a house for a man and does not make its construction firm, and the house he has built collapses and causes the death of the owner of the house, that builder shall be
put to death.
From The Code of Hammurabi, Babylon, CIRCA 2000 B.C.

Short Pile Scandal at Shatin, 1999
• 21 of the 36 large diameter bored piles were 2-15 m shorter than required
• 11 were founded in soil instead of bedrock
• The two buildings were demolished in 2000 when constructed up to 33rd and 34th floors.
• Total loss: HK$605 million
發現地基短樁的圓洲角愉翠苑,其中兩幢居屋大樓D及E座,經勘測後發現九成樁柱不合標準,短樁更集中在同一邊,令兩幢大樓出現傾斜;房委會決定拆卸這兩幢已興建至三十四層高的居屋。

天頌苑兩幢大廈在九九年被揭發出現短樁問題,房署其後斥資一億五千萬元為兩幢大廈進行加固地基工程,當年房委會亦要賠償訂金和利息開支予有關居屋的準買家,以及承擔一千二百八十個單位延遲出售的損失,加上七千萬元的訴訟費,涉及的金額高達六億二千多萬元,但房署早前只獲保險公司賠償兩億多元,因此事件令房署損失四億多元。

房委會推出這批居屋貨尾單位,主要集中於當年爆出短樁醜聞的天水圍天頌苑的兩幢居屋,事隔至今已十多年,房委會一直未有推售這批單位. 東方電視, 5 Feb. 2013

Limit States
A limit state is a condition beyond which a structural component ceases to fulfill the function for which it is designed.
• Strength limit states (ultimate limit states)
Geotechnical resistance
Structural resistance
• Service limit states (function of structure under expected
service loads)
Deformations, vibration, cracking, local damage, deterioration
26
Some Ultimate Limit States for Foundations

Modes of Building Settlement
(a) Uniform
(b) Tilting without distortion
(c) Distortion

Greater design values acceptable if verified by load tests.
Piles can be founded in soils if with proper justifications.

Which of the following is NOT one of the basic requirements for designing a proper foundation? A. Strength B. Founding on bedrock C. Constructability D. Serviceability
In the Shatin short pile scandal, what was the major reason that threatened the safety of the buildings concerned? A. The pile diameter was too small to take the load B. The pile material was too weak to provide adequate strength C. The piles had not reached the bedrock to provide enough bearing capacity D. The design requirements were too high to achieve

The Leaning Tower of Pisa project
1173-1178: 19.6 m diameter ring-shape footing & 3.5-story tower. Tilting started.
1360-1370: constructed to the belfry, about 56 m tall, tilting 3° toward south
1838: 2.5 m settlement. Construction of the trench (to see the beautiful carvings) added 0.5 m settlement.
End of 20th century: 5.5 ° tilting, top 5.2 m off plumb.
1997-2001: soil extraction, back to 5°.
Correcting the Tower Using Soil Extraction
Soil extraction (1997-2001): Back to 5.0.
There was no intention to correct the tower to perfectly vertical.

Introduction to the Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory Session
Building collapse due to liquefaction in 1964 Niigata earthquake
In 1971, the upstream of the lower San Fernando dam in California failed about a minute after the end of an earthquake, an interesting punctuation mark to the liquefaction debate at that time.

Soil Liquefaction
• A phenomenon where a saturated soil substantially loses its strength and stiffness in response to an applied shear stress, usually earthquake shaking, causing it to behave like a liquid.
• The phenomenon is most often observed in saturated, loose sandy soils.
Sand boils in liquefaction
Your Geotechnical Laboratory: Laboratory Soil Liquefaction Tests
• Prepare saturated sand beds of different densities
• Shake the sand beds at different intensities
• Observe soil liquefaction
