3 . Cofferdam Conceptual Design Summary

4 WMARSS Cofferdam for Inverted Siphon Project , Inc J.Scarborough Description of Design: The Waco Metropolitan Area Regional Sewerage System (WMARSS) is in the process of designing an inverted siphon to cross the Brazos River near Waco, Texas. As part of the project, a trenching and shoring installation method of the pipe crossing is preferred. A boring system would be more expensive and would require the length of piping to increase and require changes to the hydraulics of the system. Conceptual calculations were performed to determine if a trenching and shoring installation method consisting of a series of Cofferdams crossing the Brazos River is feasible. The cofferdams consist of steel sheet piling, steel wale system and steel pipe piles as bracing struts. The wale system is mounted to the vertical steel sheet pile walls and the braces span between the walls. The cofferdams were assumed to be 00 feet in length and 0 feet wide. At the ends of the cofferdams, angled bracing was installed. It is assumed the Contractor would install the cofferdam in 00 feet sections to cross the river. A wide range of construction sequences could occur, but for this task, a continuous sequence from one side of the river moving to the other side was assumed. Cofferdam systems and components vary from each Contractor. Often Contractors use leftover materials from previous project for Cofferdams or buy surplus material at reduced rates, which makes it difficult to analyze a system a Contractor will likely use. Summary of Calculations: It has been determined based on the information provided within these calculations that the construction of the inverted siphon by means of shoring / trenching using a series of cofferdams may prove to be challenging for the Brazos River crossing. Several models or sections of cofferdam were evaluated along the Brazos River crossing. These models are delineated on the plan and profile sheet shown in the reference drawings section. Whereas analysis shows the flexural capacity of the sheet piles are reasonable as noted in the summary of calculations, the embedment depth required into the shale is not achievable with traditional installation methods, such as pile driving. The analysis software used to perform the analysis, does not include a way to model shale / rock, so the last layer was simulated with the following soil layers. It was determined the required embedment would be best approximated with varying the bottom soil layer between a Stiff Clay, Very Stiff Clay and a Concrete layer. Stiff Clay: To create the maximum forces & deflection within the system. Largest embedment. Very Stiff Clay: Less Embedment than Stiff Clay Concrete: Less Embedment than Very Stiff Clay A sensitivity analysis was performed to determine required embedment depth. The bottom shale layer was varied with the above layer types described above. The actual result (if a shale layer was used) would tend to lie between Very Stiff Clay and Concrete. However, these values as shown in the summary sheet, range from feet to 0 feet. The shale RQD (Rock Quality Designation) is 70% to 00% indicating good to excellent rock mass quality. The shale layer had blow counts reported at 0 blows per for the top and 0 blows per for the bottom shale layer. The estimated uniaxial compressive strength is 0 psi upper bound and 8 psi lower bound. The estimated embedment that might be reasonably Desc of Design.docx of

5 WMARSS Cofferdam for Inverted Siphon Project , Inc J.Scarborough achieved with these shale properties, is to feet. The estimated embedment required might be difficult to achieve by pile driving, if at all possible with a steel sheet pile. Instead of driving the sheet piles, one option to achieve the required embedment could be to core down and cut a trench roughly foot to 0 foot in depth by wide (width of sheet pile + each side for grout), embed the sheet pile with a cement sand / non-shrink grout. However, the sheet piles would have to be pulled before backfill and before the adjacent cofferdam construction. This option will be more costly than a typical cofferdam design, but maybe less than boring the under the Brazos River. In addition as shown in the summary of calculations, assuming a large wale beam with a large brace, the Demand to Capacity ratios exceed.0 in many of the cases. However, it should be noted these calculations take into account one method and wale / brace size. Other cofferdam types and material sizes will vary from each Contractor, as they tend to re-use materials to form the cofferdam. The materials sizes used in this analysis were based on conversations with a local area Contractor based in Beaumont, Texas. It is possible different configurations maybe used to reduce the D/C ratio to less than.0. The use of the Stiff Clay layer at the bottom of the excavation is conservative and forces would reduce with an actual shale layer. However, the critical issue is the embedment of the steel sheet pile within the shale layer. It should be noted, piping or heaving of the bottom of the cofferdam was not inspected as most of the excavations have shale at the bottom. If gravel or sand layer exists, piping of sand or sand boiling at the bottom of the excavation should be investigated. Extreme conditions of high velocity water flow and debris impact loads were not considered in the design. The water height from about 8% percentile of the water height data provided at the nearest river gauge, was included in the analysis of the cofferdam. The extreme conditions would prove difficult to resist with a temporary structure. Without the extreme forces applied, the cofferdam system is at the limit of capacity with using large size members. There is very little excess capacity left within these members to resist the extreme loads. If a cofferdam system is required to resist extreme loads, than a cofferdam would not be the best solution for the river crossing project. In summary, it appears a cofferdam type system is possible, but difficult for the Brazos River crossing project. The embedment of the steel sheet piles on a temporary basis will be difficult due to shale layer. The required embedment for the different model runs ranges from feet to 0 feet. These depths will not be achieved with traditional pile driving methods, but maybe achievable with cutting a trench in the shale and embedding the sheet pile with grout. The analyzed brace, wale and corner brace are large members and are at or over capacity based on the demand from the models. There is a little excess capacity in the system to resist extreme forces. The following calculations were performed for the platform.. Determine the Demand from the soil profile on the Cofferdam system and components. Determine the steel Capacity for the major elements of Cofferdam system and ensure element sizing is reasonable for the required Demand. The details of these calculations performed are shown in depth in the following calculations.

The local Contractor that is referenced from above mentioned, they would use AZ sheets with a Wx wale. These sheets and wales are surplus material they have left over in the yard. Most Contractors will aim to use left over materials. Means, Methods and materials will play a large role in executing the cofferdams for the project. Wale spacing. It was assumed the first wale would be offset feet from the top of the execration leaving about feet of clearance. The last wale had a similar clearance of feet. See the below sketch below. Sufficient clearance needs to be provided for pipe installation. Refer to the below sketch Brace spacing. A workable area is required between the bracing (longitudinal and transverse) to have clearance to lift FRP pipe in place and weave through the bracing to the bottom of the excavation. Along the longitudinal bracing, two opens of about 0 feet were left open. This assumes piping lengths of 0 to feet can be maneuvered through the bracing to the bottom of the excavation. Refer to the below sketch. It should be mentioned some much depends on the contractor methods on construction and their analysis, which will be performed during construction. Calculations.xmcd of
