FIELD TEST OF HOLLOW TYPE CAISSON (THE SYSTEM OF V. S. L. ROCK ANCHOR)

The paper reports on experimental field tests to verify designs and construction systems for anchoring hollow caisson on the sea-bed by the V. S. L. rock anchor method. The V. S. L. rock anchor method is employed for the purpose of placing the hollow caisson on the sea-bed. It is a practical application of the post-tension method that was developed for use by the Rosinger Company, Switzerland. In the tests a four anchor type caisson was balanced in two pairs gives a prestress of 280 tons to each anchor, producing a total of 1,120 tons as the anchor force.
