A _____________ is defined as a structure which is sunk through ground

1.	A _____________ is defined as a structure which is sunk through ground or water to exclude water and semi fluid material during the process of excavation of foundations.(a) Cofferdam(b) Caisson(c) Well(d) PitI got this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.My doubt stems from Classification of Caissons in division Deep Excavations, Pile Foundations and Caisson of Construction & Building Materials
Answer» Correct OPTION is (b) Caisson Explanation: A Caisson is a relatively large deep foundation and RESEMBLES is pile foundation in transferring the superstructure load to some DESIRED DEPTH. However, Caisson differs from a pile in SIZE and in the method of construction.
