A Pile Buck book
Cellular Cofferdams
Design and construction of filled sheet pile cells
A Pile Buck compilation of two landmark works on cellular cofferdams: the Tennessee Valley Authority’s Technical Monograph No. 75, Steel Sheet Pile Cellular Cofferdams on Rock, and the Waterways Experiment Station’s Theoretical Manual for Design of Cellular Cofferdams.

From the editor’s note
There has rarely been a better, more complete coverage of a specific, construction-related subject than the manual assembled by TVA engineers and originally published in December 1957.
Filled cells are used to build large temporary cofferdams and also for permanent structures such as deep water piers, breakwaters, mooring cells, dams, guide and guard walls, and bridge protection devices.
