What is CAISSON
• CAISSON is a PLS Application suited for the analysis and design of
moment resisting concrete pier foundations and direct embedded poles.

Design Method used in CAISSON
• “Analysis and Design of Laterally Loaded Piles and Caissons in a layered soil system”
• Multi-layered adaption of Broms Method.
• The failure occurs because the ultimate resistance of the soil is exceeded.
– At ultimate loads the foundation does not fail.
– Failure takes place when the pile rotates as a unit around a point located below the ground
surface.
