Popis:	The water intake in Tachibanawan Thermal Power Station operated by Shikoku Electric Power co. Inc. has a caisson structure of largest size in Japan with functions of both water intake and seawall for reclaimed land. This structural arrangement was able to satisfy many kinds of restrictions include shortening of construction time and ensuring of economical cost.This report begins with the explanations of the reason why caisson structure was selected, the applied design principles and the outline of construction works. Next, the report describes the contact pressures between riprap foundation and caisson base slab. The contact pressures were measured on site in order to understand the deformation and spring characteristics of riprap foundation.
