Cellular cofferdams design guidelines

Cellular cofferdams design guidelines

(OP)

I'm looking for design guidelines, resources, and/or design software for cellular cofferdams.

Thanks  

RE: Cellular cofferdams design guidelines

Where have you started to look?

(check out EM 1110-2-2503)

Fang, Foundation Engineering Handbook (2nd Edition) - I think that the first edition, Winterkorn and Fang actually had a whole chapter on cofferdams.

Thanks BigH for the comprehensive list.

Is there any software available for cellular cofferdam design?

Nothing wrong with hand calcs, I typically use the software as a check.

 

RE: Cellular cofferdams design guidelines

See www.skylinesteel.com for ProSheet

I haven't used it, so YMMV.

I don't think ProSheet can model cellular cofferdams (?)

RE: Cellular cofferdams design guidelines

Check out Foundation Engineering Handbook by Winterkorn & Fang, 1975, Chapter 14 Cellular Structures and Braced Excavations written by T.D. Dismuke, formerly of Bethlehem Steel Corporation.  This chapter may also be in the newer edition of the book by Fang.

Sorry, BigH.  I didn't see your Fang & Winterkorn references.  You are way ahead of me, as usual.
