Model tests were performed on the steel circular caisson which is designed as a new gravity type structure. The results of model tests are follows :
1 Displacements and Bottom pressure of the caisson model were increased rapidly at the local buckling load.
2 The maximum displacement was measured at the loading point whereas the less displacement was measured at the upper part of the caisson model.
3 The bottom pressure was getting higher as it was nearer the loading side.
