Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development and uses of pneumatic caissons, a type of air-filled chamber used in constructing deep foundations for buildings. Originally developed for underwater bridge piers, pneumatic caissons were adapted for use in building foundations in the late 19th century. The author describes the challenges of constructing foundations in difficult soil conditions, such as quicksand and hardpan, and explains how pneumatic caissons allowed engineers to overcome these challenges and build tall, heavy buildings on sites that would otherwise have been impossible. The book provides a detailed overview of the design, installation, and use of pneumatic caissons, and discusses the various types of soil conditions that they can be used in. The author also examines the historical development of pneumatic caissons, from their early use in bridge construction to their widespread adoption for building foundations in the early 20th century. This book is a valuable resource for engineers, architects, and anyone interested in the history and development of building construction.
