The Effects of Cavities upon Foundation Design & Construction
Publication: Art of Foundation Engineering Practice
Abstract
Dr. Clyde Baker, the honoree of this GSP (Geotechnical Special Publication) volume, has made many important contributions to the design and construction of world class structures including the Petronas Towers, located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, which were the world's tallest at the time they were constructed. The foundations for these beautiful buildings offered many challenges typical of a karst topography, including uneven foundation support and cavities. This paper explores the immediate and long term impact of cavities and their effect upon design and construction of foundations. Solutions are offered for problems due to cavities.
