Deep caisson piers support new Memphis highway bridge
Illustrated data on pneumatic caisson foundation for reinforced concrete piers of 4-lane highway bridge over Mississippi River at Memphis, Tenn; deepest pneumatic caisson rests on hard blue clay at depth of 100 ft below low water elevation; 40 × 100 by 20 to 30 ft high steel caissons were floated into position and brought to rest on mattresses by addition of about 2000 tons of concrete.
