Synopsis

This book examines the practical aspects of subaqueous, or underwater, foundation work throughout history, offering insights into the engineering and construction of bridge piers, seawalls, and other structures resting on the water's bed. It traces the evolution of foundation construction, with specific emphasis on cofferdams, describing their types, materials, and effectiveness across different geographical locations. The author discusses the challenges and techniques of working in underwater environments, showcasing historical and contemporary case studies. These case studies provide valuable knowledge on the planning, execution, and monitoring of foundation projects, drawing upon the lessons learned from past successes and failures. The book serves as a valuable resource for engineers, contractors, and researchers involved in the planning and construction of subaqueous foundations, offering guidance on the optimal selection and implementation of construction methods based on the characteristics of the underwater environment and the specific project requirements.
