State cofferdam and classify it.
Illustrate the purpose of using cofferdam structure.
From the figure.1 of braced cofferdam shown below:
(a) Draw pressure envelope
(b) Determine strut load at point A, B, C
(c) Determine section modulus for pile section. If oall = 200 MN/m2
All struts are placed 8 m c/c.
