Design and Construction of Substructures of Steam Power Stations

Abstract

Abstract This paper discusses the substructures used under varying conditions in several localities. One located in an old river bed required the solution of many difficult problems. Another located 350 ft. from a river bank was constructed on a site which was overflowed to a depth of several feet during high-water stages. Still another developed an interesting method for solving the problem of wet excavation through pit and tunnel work.
