Introduction

The first edition of Foundations on Rock was written during the period 1988 to 1990. In the decade that has

passed since the initial material was collected on this subject, there has been steady development in the field

and construction practices. Consequently, the purpose of preparing this second edition, which has been

written between 1996 and 1998, has been to update the technical material, and add information on new

projects where valuable experience on rock foundations has been documented.

The following is a summary of the material that has been added:
