TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed investigation was made of the soil properties by means of insitu vane tests and by laboratory tests on undisturbed samples, some taken from a borehole and others taken during the excavation of a shaft immediately adjacent to the cofferdam.
Abstract: Synoposis During the construction of a deep cofferdam in the Thames Estuary clay at Shellhaven, the opportunity was taken of measuring the loads transmitted from the sheet-piling walls to the walings, and the loads in the struts. A detailed investigation was also made of the soil properties by means of insitu vane tests and by laboratory tests on undisturbed samples, some taken from a borehole and others taken during the excavation of a shaft immediately adjacent to the cofferdam. In Parts I and II of the article the soil properties and load observations are recorded. In Part III the results are interpreted by means of earth pressure calculations, and it is concluded that the observed loads in the bracing of the cofferdam can be accounted for in terms of deflexions of the sheet piling prior to placing the struts in position, and without the need for assuming any redistribution of earth pressure.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental study on earth pressure mobilization in caissons embedded in soft clay was carried out on models with embedment depth ratios of L / D = 2, 3 and 4 at load eccentricity ratios of e / D of 0.5, 1.0, 1, 5 and 2.0.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present several attempts in the literature to reduce the earth pressure on the retaining walls of a retaining wall, which decides the sectional dimensions of the wall.
