Abstract
There was an interesting discussion during the designing stage of one of the future skyscrapers in Sofia – is the soil basement reliable enough if it is true the hypotheses for a fold under the construction place? The substantial geotechnical report doesn’t give answers to this question but the geological profiles suggest to us about an appearance of fold. Topographic and historical specifics of the area are supporting the same unsuitable idea. The additional geophysics investigations clearly establish a lack of fold displacements under the place during the Quaternary period. The zone has high seism and an individual seismic ratio is calculated and presented. The geophysics and geologic profiles are compared too. According the summary estimation there is not active fold under the construction place in spite of obvious existing conditions. Dynamic soil protection caused by the deep pile foundation is estimated.
