Description
Summary:Describes design considerations and long-term settlement observations for a large structure for diesel power generators. The subsoil was investigated by dynamic standard penetration tests (SPTs), cross-hole and laboratory tests. The measurement records show that a considerable part of the total settlement occurred within 3 years of construction. (Original abstract-amended)
