Tahang benam

Dalam rekayasa geoteknik, kaison adalah sebuah struktur kedap air yang biasa digunakan untuk menahan air di struktur tertentu. Struktur ini dapat dijumpai pada fondasi jembatan, konstruksi bendungan beton,^[1] atau proses perbaikan kapal.^[2] Nama kaison, juga disebut /ˈkeɪsən/ atau /ˈkeɪsɒn/, berasal dari bahasa Prancis caisson atau bahasa Italia cassone yang berarti kotak besar.^[3] Kaison dibuat sedemikian rupa sehingga air dapat dipompa keluar sehingga ruang kerja di dalamnya tetap kering.
