Synopsis
A Lecture On Foundations: Before The American Institute, New York, February 13Th, 1868 by William J. McAlpine. This work presents a detailed discussion of the principles and practices of building foundations in civil engineering. It emphasizes that the longevity of structures hinges on the foundations, and that uniform, well-distributed support is essential to prevent settlement and failure. The discourse covers the behavior of different soils and rocks, comparing durable rock foundations with earth and water-saturated soils, and explains how bearing capacity can be affected by moisture, saturation, and lateral escape of soil. It surveys a range of foundation techniques, from expanding the base of foundations on less firm ground to the use of artificial supports such as piles, inverted arches, and concrete masonry. The text also surveys underwater foundations, including cofferdams and caissons, and discusses methods to drive and secure piles—wooden and iron—using pneumatic, hydrostatic, and other processes. It concludes that reliable iron piles, properly selected and driven, offer durable foundations even in challenging environments, with examples from contemporary practice and experiments enhancing the understanding of load distribution and expansion-based stability.
