In this paper, a theoretical analysis was performed on the lateral behavior of steel circular caisson which is designed as a new gravity type structure. The analysis considers an elastic equilibrium of force acting on a horizontal slice cut from the over-all structure to introduce the basic equation on the deflection of caisson. Then these equations were solved for the three cases of simple boundary conditions.
