Features: This book presents a systematic discussion by the author on the caisson and cofferdam methods used in various deep foundation engineering projects, as well as an insightful and original research on the latest advancements of these two methods both domestically and internationally. The book elaborates in detail on the replacement methods for the traditional caisson method, such as the pressing method, SS method, and SOCS method. It also provides a thorough explanation of the unmanned caisson operation method (e.g., remote-controlled atmospheric hoist in the box, remote-controlled unmanned operation on the surface, remote-controlled automated excavation machine, and multi-functional remote-controlled unmanned excavation machine) that replaces the traditional cofferdam method. Additionally, it discusses the method where historical caisson workers inhale non-harmful, healthy mixed gas. These methods fill the current domestic gaps in the field. The selected engineering cases can be referenced. This book is available for technical personnel, managers, and students of relevant disciplines in civil engineering research, design, construction, and establishment, as well as for faculty and students of universities and colleges specializing in related fields.
