tion is designed for a soil bottom (sand, mud, or ooze) rather than 

 rock. A foundation for rock could have a quite different appearance 

 (see Figure 2i) ; however, it would have similar physical characteristics 

 of importance. The symbols used to describe these characteristics 

 are listed below and are defined on the List of Symbols at the back 

 of the report. The numerical values for each are as follows:

These parameters , all of which are determined during the foundation 

 design procedure, have a major influence on the final performance of 

 the installation. The nature of these influences, and thus, the
