| Abstract | This research is conducted to study the subsurface conditions of Taipei Basin and induce the geotechnical problems of some typical foundation. The following aspects are considered: the geological and soil conditions of Taipei Basin; the site investigation; the selection of foundation type, and the design consideration and methods of construction. Eleven cases were carefully selected from numerous representative locations of Taipei City. They are : four mat foundations for the tall buildings, one deeper mat foundation for a sewage treatment plant, one piled-mat foundation for tall building, and five pile foundations for bridges. All these cases are analyzed and discussed on the basis of current geotechnical aspects. Some particular techniques used in Taipei are also introduced in relation to these studies. Finally, three deposit zones of Taipei Basin, namely: the Kee-Lung River deposit, the Tan-Shui River deposit and the Hsin-Ten River deposit are divided in accordance with their different subsurface condition. Furthermore, the geotechnical aspects in foundation practice of Taipei City are summarized and concluded for the reference of sequential work in the future. Besides, several useful researches concerning with these three deposit zones are also collected and presented. |
