An actual failure of cofferdam due to the boiling induced by seepage force during renovation of the Daiichi-Shinkawa Bridge is introduced. The cofferdam was designed in accordance with the "Directions for Road and Earthworks" of the Japanese Road Association (JRA). Two dimensional seepage considerations were assumed in the analysis and the stipulated minimum factor of safety is 1.5. The cause of the failure is investigated with a series of parametric study using finite element analysis with 2-D plane condition as well as axisymmetric and 3-D conditions. In addition, the parametric study is extended in 3-D condition to investigate the effect of three-dimensional shape of the cofferdam, excavation depth, depth of impermeable base layer, excavation area, anisotropic permeability. From these series of calculation, some features of the relationships of seepage force with the influencing factors and some charts are presented for a simple estimation of the seepage force regarding the three-dimensional effect of seepage force on the stability of cofferdam.
