Features: This book is a collection of papers from the first National Special Technology Symposium on Building and Foundation Engineering (December 7-10, 2004). The conference focused on topics such as building tilt correction, relocation, addition of stories, load-bearing, foundation underpinning, and foundation repair techniques for ancient buildings. It includes 6 invited reports and 49 papers. The invited reports feature works by Liu Zude ("Fifteen Years of Tilt Correction and Anti-Tilt Engineering"), Gao Daizhao et al. ("Setting and Controlling Expected Goals in Building Tilt Correction Engineering"), Zhu Ruigeng ("Reflections After the Blasting Rescue and Demolition of a High-Rise"), Mo Ruoji et al. ("Handling Uncertainty in Geotechnical Engineering"), Chen Dousheng ("A Brief Discussion on Land Subsidence in Developing Urban Areas"), and Chen Yongsheng et al. ("Design and Construction of the Dongmen Section of the Old City in Fengshan County, Taiwan"). The papers include 1 specialized study, 18 on tilt correction technology, 5 on relocation technology, 3 on building story addition, 14 on foundation underpinning and reinforcement, 1 on code development, and 7 on relic soil investigation and other discussions. Representative works among these include literature reviews on the Leaning Tower of Pisa, tilt correction of the Quigu Pagoda in Dujiangyan, Sichuan, story addition of an old public housing in Shanghai, relocation of a 10-story high-rise in Wuzhou, underpinning of irregular piles in foundation pits, and relic soil investigation of the Liangzhu site. The preface outlines the state of domestic and international technological development in this field.
