| Abstract: |
The paper presents structural concept of innovative structural system of combined foundation, which makes possible to construct foundations for buildings, including heavily loaded objects, located on subsoil of very small load capacity. It consists of component parts having different forms and playing various structural roles. Some of these components can be designed as huge waterproof boxes having substantial uplift pressure, that is why they could be component parts of structures of artificial islands. The proposed foundation system, due to its inner build, is able to absorb significant part of the energy caused by an earthquake. There are presented some proposals of its possible applications as the base for high-rise buildings and for mega-structures. |
