ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A support structure, especially for use in under- water work, comprises a hollow pillar, which downwardly merges into a reversed funnel structure, having a base area selected with respect to the expected load and to local ground con- ditions. The funnel structure and part of the pillar are to be filled with macadam, or other material with internal friction, and the base angle of the funnel structure is slightly larger than the natural angle of repose of the frac- tion of friction material used. After a possible vibration of the macadam the funnel structure will be completely filled, whereby the load upon the pillar will be transferred to the cone of macadam and be distributed over the bottom surface, below the funnel structure. The latter may along its lower edge be provided with a serrated skirt suited to enter into a soft bottom.
