INTRODUCTION
 Caisson is a water tight structure made of wood, steel, R.C.C
i.e. reinforced cement constructed in connection with
excavation for the foundation of bridges, piers in rivers,
dock structures etc.
 The term caisson has been derived from the French word
‘CAISSEE’, meaning BOX.
 It can be round or rectangle in plan.
 It is commonly used where foundation under water is done.
 It can sunk from surface of either land or water to the
desired depth.
3
DefinitionDefinition::
It’s defined as a structure which
is sunk through ground or water
to exclude water and semi-fluid
materials during the process of
excavation of foundations and
which subsequently becomes an
integral part of the sub-
structure.

USES OF CAISSON
 Caissons are more suitable for the deep foundation under water
where the foundation should be extended up to or below the river
bed so as to obtain the proper stability.
 Caissons as type of well foundation is constructed in rivers and lake,
bridges, break water dock structures for the point of view of shore
protection.
 When depth of water in river, lake, or sea etc. are more, then caisson
structure is used.
 It is also used for pump house which are subjected to huge vertical as
well as horizontal forces.
 It is also occasionally used for large and multi-storey building and
other structures.

It’s provided with a cutting
edge at the bottom to facilitate
sinking.
It is made up of timber,
reinforced concrete, steel or
masonry.
It is used for building and
bridge foundation.
It is also known as well
foundations. 20
OPEN OR WELL CAISSON
 Common shapes of caisson
21
The shape of well is generally decided by the requirements of the
superstructure, forces on the well, cost of sinking, base of the pier,
chances of tilting, etc.

WELL COMPONENT FUNCTION
24
 Cutting edge : provides sharp edge to cut the soil below
during sinking operation.
 Curb : during sinking it acts as extension of cutting edge and
provide support the well. It is made of RCC.
 Steining : it is main body of the well. Made of RCC or
masonry with minimum thickness of 45 cm.
 Bottom plug : made of concrete and designed for an
upward load equal to the soil pressure minus self weight of
the bottom plug and sand filling.
WELL COMPONENT FUNCTION
25
 Top plug : It supports the well cap.
 Well cap : It transfers the load from pier to the well.
 Sand filling : It transfers a portion of load from well
cap to the bottom plug.
Laying of Curbs
In dry ground excavate up to 15 cm in river bed and place the cutting
edge at the required position. If the curb is to be laid under
water and depth of water is greater than 5 m, prepare Sand
Island and lay the curb. If depth of water exceeds 5 m built
curb in dry ground and float it to the site.
Procedure for Sinking of Well
foundations
Construction of Well Steining
The steining should be built in short height of 1.5 m initially and 3
m after a 6 m grip length is achieved. The verticality should be
maintained. The aim of the well sinking is to sink the well vertically and
at the correct position.
Precautions – The following precautions should be taken during well
sinking.
•Outer surface should be regular and smooth.
•Radius of the curb should be 2 to 4 cm larger than the radius of the
steining.
•Cutting edge should be of uniform thickness and sharpness.
Sinking Operation
•Up to a depth of 1 m, excavation underwater can be made manually.
When the depth of water exceeds 1 m excavate by Jhams or grabs.
•When well goes on sinking skin friction increases and weight of
well decreased due to buoyancy.
•When the well does not sink, sunk by applying kentledge. If this
operation is not sufficient jet outside the well or grease the outside.
A typical loading on steining by kentledge is shown in Fig 2.
•Go on adding sections of steining (2 to 5 m in length) up to the
required founding strata.
2)2) Multiple Wells(Monoliths):Multiple Wells(Monoliths):
Monoliths are multiple wells
which are sunk together.
Each individual well has got the
separate cutting edge and
dredging in each of the well can
be done separately.
The monoliths are bigger
dimensions, they can not be built
on the site in the water.
29
Construction Of MonolithsConstruction Of Monoliths
 A suitable site is selected on
the upstream side of the river
and dry dock is constructed.
 The dimensions of dry dock
should be kept bigger than
those of the monoliths and it
should be provided with a
door of sufficient width to
take it out.
 The monolith is constructed
up to such height that some
portion of it will remain above
water level when it is sunk. 30
Construction Of MonolithsConstruction Of Monoliths
 The gate of dry dock is opened. The monolith is
then floated and located in its correct position.
 The dredging operation is done in a sequence as
shown in fig. The four dredging units are used
simultaneously and the middle row is touched last.
 After dredging to the required depth, the whole
monolith is gradually sunk uniformly up to the
required level.
 The bottom is provided with a concrete seal, the
wells are filled-with the concrete and cap is
provided at the top to finish up the construction of
monolith.

• An open cylinder can be conveniently used of the foundation of
bridge piers.
• The cylinder is a light shell which invariably becomes the part of
the permanent structure.
• Cylinders are used as a foundation when depth of water is more
than 12 m or when it becomes essential to go deep to avoid
exposure of foundations due to scouring action of flowing water.
Cylinders:-
33
34
Disadvantages :-
(1)As the diameter of cylinder is small, it’s load carrying capacity is
less.
(2)There are more chances of lifting of the cylinders.
(3)They require additional for sinking as their self weight is less.
(4)The thickness is less and hence, they are not suitable for the high
bridges.
(5)When water is flowing with high velocity of flow, it is difficult to
sink the cylinders.
Advantages :-
(1)The construction is simple.
(2) The cost is low.
(3)As the diameter of cylinder is small, the obstruction the water
flow is less.
(4)The quantity of excavation is less.
(5)They do not require expensive and complicated lifting devices.
Pneumatic Caissons:Pneumatic Caissons:
 This type of caisson is open at the bottom
and close at the top. Pneumatic caisson is
specially used at the place where it is not
possible to construct the well.
It is suitable for the depth of water more
than 12 m and maximum depth of water up to
35 m.
In the construction of pneumatic caisson,
the compressed air is used to remove water
from the working chamber and the
foundation work Is carried out in dry
condition.
This type of caisson can be made of timber,
concrete or steel. Normally, the tolerable air
pressure under which a man can work is
limited to 0.35 N/mm.

 The  construction  of  the  pneumatic  caisson  is  similar  to  the  types 
described  above,  except  that,  the  working  chamber  and  shaft  are 
made air-tight. In order that the workmen may carry out excavation 
work  underneath  the  caisson  and  the  water  may  not  find  its  way 
inside from below, the pressure of the compressed air in the shaft is 
kept just higher than that of the water at that depth. 
Each  caisson  has  two  air  locks.  Through  one  air  lock  workmen  go 
down  for  working  while  through  the  other  excavated  material  is 
taken out. 
An  air  lock  essentially  consists  of  a  steel  chamber  having  two  air-
tight doors. One door of this chamber serves as an entry for men 
and  material  from  outside  into  the  steel  chamber  and  the  other 
door leads to the air shaft. 
Construction procedure of pneumatic caissons
38
When  a  workman  enters  the  airlock  from  outside,  the  pressure 
inside the airlock is the same as that of outside atmosphere. 
Thereafter the outside door is closed and the pressure inside the 
airlock  is  raised  slowly.  When  the  pressure  inside  the  airlock 
becomes  equal  to  the  pressure  in  the  caisson,  the  door  of  the 
airlock which leads to the air shaft is opened and the workman 
goes down the air-shaft with the help of a ladder installed therein. 
Exactly reverse procedure is followed when the workman comes 
out  of  the  caisson.  Air-shaft  provides  means  of  access  for  the 
worker from airlock down to the working chamber.
39

Advantages of Pneumatic Caissons- The advantages of pneumatic 
caissons are that all work can be done in dry and there is control 
over work. The foundation is prepared better and plumbness of 
caissons is easier to control. The concrete placed in dry condition 
will have good and reliable quality. The obstruction from boulders 
and logs can readily be removed and excavation by blasting may 
be done if necessary.
Disadvantages of Pneumatic Caissons- Pneumatic  caissons  have 
high cost of construction. They cannot be sunk to depths greater 
than 35 m because the higher pressure below this depth cannot 
be resisted by human body.
Pneumatic caisson sickness
1) When  workers  working  under  compressed  air  inside  the 
working chamber, they suffer certain type of disease when 
they  return  to  the  atmospheric  pressure.  This  disease  is 
known as “caisson sickness” or “caisson disease”.
 The main symptoms of the diseases are:
1) Dizziness
2) Double vision
3) Headache
4) Trouble to speaking
41
Pneumatic caisson sickness
(Precautions)
1) No person should work for more than one shift in a day.
2) Shift should not exceed 12 hours.
3) Temperature of the working chamber should be maintain 25 degree 
centigrade.
4) The main locks should be well ventilated.
5) Persons  with  strong  heart,  low  blood  pressure  and  good  circulation 
should be employed on the work.
6) Use of alcoholic drinks should be prohibited.
7) Medical facility or chamber should be provided nearer to the work.
42
Pneumatic caisson sickness
(Precautions)
8) The workers should take enough meal before the shift starts.
9) All the passages, shafts etc. of the caisson should be well 
ventilated and properly lighted.
10) The worker use man locks for entry, interval and exit.

Tilting and Shifting of cassionsTilting and Shifting of cassions
When a well sinks more on one side than the other, then it is known o
have tilted. The tilting is mainly due to unequal dredging and non
uniform bearing power of soil.

Regulations Of Excavation: The
Higher Side Is Grabbed More Be Regulating
The Dredging. In The Initial Stages This May
Be All Right. Otherwise, The Well May Be
Dewatered If Possible, And Open Excavation
May Be Carried Out On The Higher Side.
Eccentric loading: Eccentric Placing Of
The Kentledge May Be Reported To Provide
Greater Sinking Effort On The Higher Side. A
Platform With Greater Projection On The
Higher Side May Be Constructed And Used
For This Purpose. As The Depth Of Sinking
Increases, Heavier Kentledge With Greater
Eccentric it Would Be Required To Rectify
Tilt. 58
Water Jetting: If Water Jets Are Applied
On The Outer Face Of The Well On The
Higher Side, The Friction Is Reduced On That
Side, And The Tilt May Get Rectified.
Pulling The Well: In The Early Stages Of
Sinking, Pulling The Well To The Higher Side
By Placing One Or More Steel Ropes Round
The Well, With Vertical Sleepers Packed In
Between To Distribute Pressure Over Larger
Areas Of Well Steining, Is Effective.
59
Strutting The Well: The Well Is
Strutted On Its Tilted Side With Suitable
Logs Of Wood To Prevent Further Tilt. The
Well Steining Is Provided With Sleepers To
Distribute The Load From The Strut. The
Other End Of The Logs Rest Against A Firm
Base Having Driven Piles.
Pushing The Well With Jacks: Tilt
Can Be Rectified By Pushing The Well By
Suitably Arranging Mechanical Or
Hydraulic Jacks. 60

Chapter 3 caisson

  • 2. CONTENTS Introduction Types of Caisson Geotechnical Investigation Caisson Installation Sequence Advantages Of Caisson Uses of Caisson Caisson Disease Conclusion 2
  • 3. INTRODUCTION  Caisson is a water tight structure made of wood, steel, R.C.C i.e. reinforced cement constructed in connection with excavation for the foundation of bridges, piers in rivers, dock structures etc.  The term caisson has been derived from the French word ‘CAISSEE’, meaning BOX.  It can be round or rectangle in plan.  It is commonly used where foundation under water is done.  It can sunk from surface of either land or water to the desired depth. 3
  • 4. DefinitionDefinition:: It’s defined as a structure which is sunk through ground or water to exclude water and semi-fluid materials during the process of excavation of foundations and which subsequently becomes an integral part of the sub- structure. 4
  • 5. 5
  • 6. USES OF CAISSON  Caissons are more suitable for the deep foundation under water where the foundation should be extended up to or below the river bed so as to obtain the proper stability.  Caissons as type of well foundation is constructed in rivers and lake, bridges, break water dock structures for the point of view of shore protection.  When depth of water in river, lake, or sea etc. are more, then caisson structure is used.  It is also used for pump house which are subjected to huge vertical as well as horizontal forces.  It is also occasionally used for large and multi-storey building and other structures. 6
  • 7. 7  Transferring the load of structure to the hard strata.  Used for foundation of bridges, piers, abutments in river or lake.  Used as impervious core wall of earth dams.  To provide an access to a deep shaft or tunnel.

WELL COMPONENT FUNCTION 24  Cutting edge : provides sharp edge to cut the soil below during sinking operation.  Curb : during sinking it acts as extension of cutting edge and provide support the well. It is made of RCC.  Steining : it is main body of the well. Made of RCC or masonry with minimum thickness of 45 cm.  Bottom plug : made of concrete and designed for an upward load equal to the soil pressure minus self weight of the bottom plug and sand filling.
  • 25. WELL COMPONENT FUNCTION 25  Top plug : It supports the well cap.  Well cap : It transfers the load from pier to the well.  Sand filling : It transfers a portion of load from well cap to the bottom plug.
  • 26. Laying of Curbs In dry ground excavate up to 15 cm in river bed and place the cutting edge at the required position. If the curb is to be laid under water and depth of water is greater than 5 m, prepare Sand Island and lay the curb. If depth of water exceeds 5 m built curb in dry ground and float it to the site. Procedure for Sinking of Well foundations
  • 27. Construction of Well Steining The steining should be built in short height of 1.5 m initially and 3 m after a 6 m grip length is achieved. The verticality should be maintained. The aim of the well sinking is to sink the well vertically and at the correct position. Precautions – The following precautions should be taken during well sinking. •Outer surface should be regular and smooth. •Radius of the curb should be 2 to 4 cm larger than the radius of the steining. •Cutting edge should be of uniform thickness and sharpness. Sinking Operation •Up to a depth of 1 m, excavation underwater can be made manually. When the depth of water exceeds 1 m excavate by Jhams or grabs.
  • 28. •When well goes on sinking skin friction increases and weight of well decreased due to buoyancy. •When the well does not sink, sunk by applying kentledge. If this operation is not sufficient jet outside the well or grease the outside. A typical loading on steining by kentledge is shown in Fig 2. •Go on adding sections of steining (2 to 5 m in length) up to the required founding strata.
  • 29. 2)2) Multiple Wells(Monoliths):Multiple Wells(Monoliths): Monoliths are multiple wells which are sunk together. Each individual well has got the separate cutting edge and dredging in each of the well can be done separately. The monoliths are bigger dimensions, they can not be built on the site in the water. 29
  • 30. Construction Of MonolithsConstruction Of Monoliths  A suitable site is selected on the upstream side of the river and dry dock is constructed.  The dimensions of dry dock should be kept bigger than those of the monoliths and it should be provided with a door of sufficient width to take it out.  The monolith is constructed up to such height that some portion of it will remain above water level when it is sunk. 30
  • 31. Construction Of MonolithsConstruction Of Monoliths  The gate of dry dock is opened. The monolith is then floated and located in its correct position.  The dredging operation is done in a sequence as shown in fig. The four dredging units are used simultaneously and the middle row is touched last.  After dredging to the required depth, the whole monolith is gradually sunk uniformly up to the required level.  The bottom is provided with a concrete seal, the wells are filled-with the concrete and cap is provided at the top to finish up the construction of monolith. 31
  • 32. 32 • An open cylinder can be conveniently used of the foundation of bridge piers. • The cylinder is a light shell which invariably becomes the part of the permanent structure. • Cylinders are used as a foundation when depth of water is more than 12 m or when it becomes essential to go deep to avoid exposure of foundations due to scouring action of flowing water. Cylinders:-
  • 33. 33
  • 34. 34 Disadvantages :- (1)As the diameter of cylinder is small, it’s load carrying capacity is less. (2)There are more chances of lifting of the cylinders. (3)They require additional for sinking as their self weight is less. (4)The thickness is less and hence, they are not suitable for the high bridges. (5)When water is flowing with high velocity of flow, it is difficult to sink the cylinders. Advantages :- (1)The construction is simple. (2) The cost is low. (3)As the diameter of cylinder is small, the obstruction the water flow is less. (4)The quantity of excavation is less. (5)They do not require expensive and complicated lifting devices.
  • 35. Pneumatic Caissons:Pneumatic Caissons:  This type of caisson is open at the bottom and close at the top. Pneumatic caisson is specially used at the place where it is not possible to construct the well. It is suitable for the depth of water more than 12 m and maximum depth of water up to 35 m. In the construction of pneumatic caisson, the compressed air is used to remove water from the working chamber and the foundation work Is carried out in dry condition. This type of caisson can be made of timber, concrete or steel. Normally, the tolerable air pressure under which a man can work is limited to 0.35 N/mm. 35
  • 36. 36
  • 37. 37  The  construction  of  the  pneumatic  caisson  is  similar  to  the  types  described  above,  except  that,  the  working  chamber  and  shaft  are  made air-tight. In order that the workmen may carry out excavation  work  underneath  the  caisson  and  the  water  may  not  find  its  way  inside from below, the pressure of the compressed air in the shaft is  kept just higher than that of the water at that depth.  Each  caisson  has  two  air  locks.  Through  one  air  lock  workmen  go  down  for  working  while  through  the  other  excavated  material  is  taken out.  An  air  lock  essentially  consists  of  a  steel  chamber  having  two  air- tight doors. One door of this chamber serves as an entry for men  and  material  from  outside  into  the  steel  chamber  and  the  other  door leads to the air shaft.  Construction procedure of pneumatic caissons
  • 38. 38 When  a  workman  enters  the  airlock  from  outside,  the  pressure  inside the airlock is the same as that of outside atmosphere.  Thereafter the outside door is closed and the pressure inside the  airlock  is  raised  slowly.  When  the  pressure  inside  the  airlock  becomes  equal  to  the  pressure  in  the  caisson,  the  door  of  the  airlock which leads to the air shaft is opened and the workman  goes down the air-shaft with the help of a ladder installed therein.  Exactly reverse procedure is followed when the workman comes  out  of  the  caisson.  Air-shaft  provides  means  of  access  for  the  worker from airlock down to the working chamber.

  • 40. 40 Advantages of Pneumatic Caissons- The advantages of pneumatic  caissons are that all work can be done in dry and there is control  over work. The foundation is prepared better and plumbness of  caissons is easier to control. The concrete placed in dry condition  will have good and reliable quality. The obstruction from boulders  and logs can readily be removed and excavation by blasting may  be done if necessary. Disadvantages of Pneumatic Caissons- Pneumatic  caissons  have  high cost of construction. They cannot be sunk to depths greater  than 35 m because the higher pressure below this depth cannot  be resisted by human body.
