Using the formula:
Caisson Capacity = ABP x (L1 + 0.5D) + ASF1 x (L1 + L2 + D) + ASF2 x D
Plugging in the values:
Caisson Capacity = 12 ksf x (15 ft + 0.5 x 5 ft) + 4 ksf x (15 ft + 30 ft + 5 ft) + 2 ksf x 5 ft
Caisson Capacity = 180 kip + 540 kip + 10 kip
Caisson Capacity = 730 kip
Therefore, the caisson capacity is 730 kips (kilo-pounds).
