Abstract
Nations across the world including China have entered the stage of modern urbanization, and there have been common problems such as urban population explosion, housing scarcity, land shortage, environmental pollution, traffic congestion and so on. Even though there are more or less arguments on high-rise and super high-rise buildings, the surging trend of the construction cannot yet be discouraged. This trend not only inaugurates a new epoch of construction industry, but also will necessarily brings human into overground and underground space. The evolution of super high-rise buildings remarkably promotes the research, development. and application of engineering technology of foundation & subgrade. Compared with underground foundation engineering, calculation, design, model experiment and field measurement for superstructure of super high-rise buildings are much easier. All of the above processes can be conducted by computer to completely meet the requirements of engineering. While as research and computerization of foundation, subsoil and geotechnical engineering progress relatively much slowly. Theory of settlement calculation of deep foundation is more complicated, and many questions are still left unsolved today, and might remain unsolvable in short term. It indeed requires arduous efforts of generations to get results.
