摘要

Dealing with the consequences of lowered groundwater levels and consequent untreated timber pile deterioration in Boston's Back Bay is not uncommon. Urban sprawl in this area in the late 1800s and early 1900s was made possible through land reclamation, filling in the remnants of the old bay. Untreated timber piles were often used as the foundation of choice in these conditions. Unfortunately, urban construction also resulted in decreased groundwater levels as a result of underground construction, leaking utilities, and leaking basements. The Mother Church (TMC), located on The First Church of Christ, Scientist (TFCCS) campus, is a historic landmark in downtown Boston supported on hundreds of untreated timber piles, and has long been implementing a system of movement and groundwater monitoring to identify any areas at risk of timber pile deterioration. In particular, the surveys indicated that the bell tower of The Original Mother Church (TOMC) was at a high risk of having deteriorated timber piles, and test pit investigations confirmed this. To mitigate future settlements, and extend the service life of the structure, we designed and implemented a foundation underpinning and repair scheme consisting of two phases: underpinning of the main tower with steel needle beams and pre-loaded micropiles, and cut-and-post underpinning in the remaining areas of the TOMC. The design and construction of the foundation underpinning had to accommodate for highly congested and restricted access areas, maintain the integrity of the unreinforced masonry tower structure during the load transfer process, incorporate micropiles needled through the forest of timber piles below the tower, and provide for a system with minimal future settlement and a service life in the order of 500 years. The project was completed successfully and on schedule, with minimal adjustments to the contract plan. Follow up movement monitoring surveys shows no additional movement of the TOMC bell tower has occurred.
