Caisson lifting installation is a common construction technology for the construction of gravity wharf or upright revetment.This paper builds a 3-D model of hanging hole and lifting pin by the finite element analysis software ANSYS,sets up reasonable contact pairs and boundary conditions,and carries out a stress analysis of caisson lifting holes of a vertical revetment engineering due to the contact analysis function of ANSYS.The stress distribution in the process of lifting was obtained,and the calculation method of local pressure net area of lifting holes was proposed,which can provide a reference for similar projects.
