Unreinforced caissons ???
(OP)
We have a bldg that is 30 stories high on concrete caissons as per the geotech report. the design engineer shows no reinforcing in the caissons that are about 30 ft below grade.......Is this common practice?
Thanks,
Thanks,

The caissons are not lined (lined only for the drilling) and vary in size from 6 ft to 10 ft in diameter.
The lateral loads when transfered to the top of the caissons I would think would require some type of reinforcing...even the minimum reinforcing....
I appreciate your inputs...
