Definitions
- the method of preparing a subaqueous foundation or the like which consists in placing a steel shelLaround the site of the proposed foundation with the top of said shell -aboveethewater line, then filling the shell to-substantially the top with granular ma) terial, and constructing a caisson provided withcutting edges'at the base of its outer and" cross walls and lowering the same through thegranular material inside the shell and into the solid ground below the same by alternately dredging and building up the caisson walls.

7. The method of preparing to construct a subaqueous foundation, which consists in placing a shell around the site of the proposed foundation, then filling the shell with granular material to form an island, and constructing a caisson upon the island thus formed within the shell and sinking the caisson through the ranular material to the bed upon which the oundation is to rest.
8. The method of preparing to construct a subaqueous foundation, which consists in placing a shell around the site of the proposed f foundation, then filling the shell with granular material to form a temporary island, then constructing a caisson upon said island and removing the greater part of said granular material.
