DESIGN METHOD OF CAISSONS FOUNDATION

1. Check for Perimeter Shear at Contact Face of Seal and Shaft

TWO OTHER CONDITIONS SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR SAFETY:

The Perimeter shear, , should be less than the permissible shear stress, u

DESIGN METHOD OF CAISSONS FOUNDATION

2. Check for BuoyancyTWO OTHER CONDITIONS SHOULD BE CHECKED FOR SAFETY:

If the shaft is completely dewatered, the bouyant upward, Fu is

The downward force, Fd, is caused by the weight of the caisson and the seal and by the skin friction at the caisson-soil interface

If Fd > Fu the caisson is safe from bouyancy

If Fd < Fu dewatering the shaft completely will be unsafe and the thickness of the seal should be increased by t, or
