Displacements of Ships and Buildings:
“Building technology on the dry land was never predicated upon a total weight limitation. Buildings did not seem to sink into the Earth to ‘displacement’ depths. . . In recent years engineers have observed that the amount of rock displaced to get firm foundations often approximates the ratios of ships’ displacements as demonstrated between skyscraper weights and weight of excavation removals for those skyscrapers.”
