CAISSON WALL

CAISSON WALL

CAISSON WALL

(OP)
I am reviewing a caisson wall that is typical for shoring purpose (king caisson alternate with filler caisson).

Does anyone know the theory of how the filler caisson inter-lock with the king caisson? or how the caissons can act as a wall?

It would be great if anyone could provide me some references.

Thanks!

Please don't double post - you posted in the structural section. Most who view this also view that.

RE: CAISSON WALL

This is not unusual.  This is a secant pile or tangent pile design.  A L-Pile analysis should be performed to determine V, M and deflection.  It's an iterative process.  There are lots of parameters that can be manipulated: steel content, shaft diameter, tieaback spacing, etc. A h-pile can be stuck into each king pile to give a big boost to section modulus.
