Victory Arch of Germania experment

[MikeW]

I am hoping one of you could lead me to a website discussing the experments done during wartime to determine the rate of settlement for a massive stucture which is the victory arch in question.

This was shown on the History Channel recently.

Danke, the latter is what I am looking for.

I know, I live not very far away, two or three km.

Would you mind snapping a few pics if you got time, don't know if you can see the inside, it would be nice for my senior project which is on soils.

Underground
The dig will never end
Welcome to the website of Berliner Unterwelten e.V.
The Association “Berliner Unterwelten” (Berlin Underworlds) researches these historical developments and documents them. It was founded in 1997 by people from all walks of life who are interested in the diverse aspects of the underground. Its ranks include academics (such as architects, historians, lawyers, art historians, economists, town and regional planners and students) but also craftsmen, justice officials, teachers, policemen, OAPs and pupils who contribute to the organizations in many different ways.

I can take some photos when they make the next guided tour there. But only with a cell phone build in camera.
