Control of the stressed-deformed state of open caissons during their sinking

Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

Conclusions

1. During the sinking of a caisson, the pressure and the deformations of the structure change continually in magnitude, and besides, in many cases, they exceed the values adopted in design.

2. Experience with the construction of open caissons of large dimensions in plan indicates that, during sinking, tilting was often observed, when a significant increase occurs in the nonuniformity of pressure.

3. By organizing observation of the state of the structure of an open caisson, it is possible to regulate the sinking procedure.

4. The accumulation of observed data will make it possible to define more accurately the physical nature of the interaction between open caissons and the surrouding medium during their sinking, and this will promote their more economical and reliable design.
