That caisom is in compression so reinforced concrete is probably the material or choice. They also have great experience with those in that exact environment because they make cut and cover tunnels using reinforced concrete caisons under rivers and lakes already.

Aren't those usually under the river or lakebed? I.e. they're not exposed directly to water (much less being moved around with weight inside them all the time)?

Cut and cover ones are just put in a trench then backfilled with loose armour rock to stop a boat hitting it somehow. They're ultimately still exposed to water pressure since they are not deep enough underground to disperse the pressure load by then.

It still seems like 1068 short tons of reinforced concrete is a reasonable mass given the size of the caisson

Oh absolutely, I was just saying civil engineers love concrete and always want to use it whenever they can.

I guess thinking about it they could use expired carbon fibre from boeing, that might actually be more cost effective.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caisson_lock

quote:

The May 1799 test, above, occurred when a party of investors was aboard the vessel and they nearly suffocated before they could be freed. Work on the second lock was suspended (the third lock had not been started) and early in the following year an inclined plane, to carry boats’ cargoes in wheeled tubs, was built instead. Eventually a flight of nineteen locks on a longer alignment up the slope was constructed, with a Boulton & Watt Steam Pumping Station, capable of lifting 5,000 tons of water in 12 hours, used to recirculate the water.[9]

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Is that a problem though? Is the Pacific getting too full and the Atlantic too low?

those are already the same height, the gently caress would you build a lock between them for

The Panama canal goes up and then goes back down.

Digging all the way down to sea level would have been much less practical.

No kidding. Even intuitively you would probably realise that a load-bearing crossbeam beam should be supported more securely than with just like three little screws put in end-on. But my favourite were the parts where the foundation was put into the wrong place and couldn't support the whole column and the guy just figured "eh let's just put the remaining bolts into the soil, she'll be right". :psyduck:
