A technical introduction to coffer dams

J. Paul Guyer’s guide organizes its introduction to coffer dams around the decisions and engineering concerns involved in planning and construction. Its eight sections range from layout and structural elements to geotechnical conditions, foundation treatment, and the properties of cell fill. The later topics address seepage control, foundation underseepage, and seismic considerations. The contents point to a practical overview of the subject’s interconnected design and site considerations, rather than a general survey of dams and reservoirs.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Civil and geotechnical engineers seeking an introductory reference on coffer dams
  • Construction managers interested in planning, foundations, seepage, and seismic considerations
  • Readers studying civil engineering topics related to dams and reservoirs
