Abstract
As far as high-rise or super high-rise buildings are concerned, foundations must ensure the stability of buildings and meet the anti-inclining and anti-sliding requirements given the demands of wind-resistance and earthquake-resistance. So it is necessary to have enough buried depth for foundations. The basements need to not only satisfy the demand of buried depth, but also make full use of underground space. Therefore, box and raft foundations, also called compensating foundations, are mostly adopted in the foundation design of super high-rise buildings if the subgrade conditions allow. According to experiences, the basement depth required in complete compensating foundations of high-rise or super high-rise buildings refers to Table 5-1.
