Abstract
The procedure used for the analysis and design of a 3m deep
reinforced concrete ring beam to a 60m diameter sheet pile
cofferdam is presented. A simplified two dimensional model
on a powerful commercial structural analysis program was
employed. Non-conventional techniques were used to
analyse the ring beam under non-uniform loadings of the
cofferdam during the various stages of construction. Design
implications of reinforcing the beam to cope with these
loads is also discussed.
