Quicksand, to the popular mind a
lurking uiousk-r that swallows up the
unwary, wliile often treacherous, has ;
been safely built upon, and several of '
the second class skyscrapers lu New
York rest directly upon it. It is neces- i
snry nt the oofct to correct the popu- i
lar idea uboiit quicksand. The engi
ueer's delinition of quicksand is any
loose, friable material saturated wltb
water. There urc different kinds of j
qulcksnud. just is there are different !
kinds of wood, varying from nearly us (
treacherous as the popular Idea of It i
to a material that may be safely built j
upon. ' '
Tbe ground In the lower end of Man
hattan Island Is a quicksand extending
from the surface to a maximum depth
of eighty f'.-ot below Broadway. It
will bear thvee tons per square foot,
and the foundations of ninny tall build
ings rest upon It. Killed In ground Is
oue of the poorest materials on which
to build, as for years after It has been
deposited It will continue to settle, and
obviously any structure it carries must
lettle with It.
Ordluury ground will bear safely
from two to four tons per square foot,
dry clay from four to six tons per
square foot, good gravel from six to
ten tons and bedrock from SO to 200
tons per square foot. Sand If confined
will stand very large pressures, and
similarly water, tbe most unsuitable of
all. if It could be restrained, would be
capable of resisting an enormous -pres
