Abstract
Two major topics are described in this paper: (a) The difficult foundation conditions; and (b) the unusual hangar design dictated by these conditions, caused by the character of the mud fill which was originally placed in the Baltimore Municipal Airport, in Baltimore, Md. The paper deals only with the seaplane base, the first portion of which comprises a hangar 270 ft by 190 ft with 35 ft clear height, built entirely of steel, and a brick office building in the form of a half octagon, 66 ft by 125 ft, both of which are leased to the Pan American Airways System.
