CAISSON WALL

[AAAprince]

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!

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.
