Abstract |
|
Caissons are relatively new design being considered for foundations in a wide variety of applications. The effect of lateral loading and vertical loading in soft clay has been studied. The object here is to establish a broad framework of response of caissons under the above mentioned loadings. The load displacement curves and load settlement curves under the lateral and vertical loads for consistency index Ic=0.42of clay has been studied. The maximum lateral and vertical loads has been taken by the circular shaped caisson of diameter and height 16cm when compared to the square shaped caissons with minimum displacement and settlement. Therefore, it can be seen that as the depth of caissons increases the settlement decreases. |
