https://stiverengineering.com/civil-engineering-services/What happens when rebar isn’t an option for a deep foundation? A testing facility needed steel-free caissons, and Stiver Engineering designed them. This episode also covers tunnels 250 feet beneath Indianapolis, and why the tunnel eye is the riskiest moment on a shaft job.
[excited] Picture a caisson with zero steel reinforcing inside it. No rebar at all. Sounds impossible for a deep foundation, right? But that’s exactly what engineers pulled off for a Houston testing facility, and today we’re digging into how that kind of work gets designed, along with tunnels built 250 feet underground. Joining me is a civil engineer who works on exactly this kind of underground design.
