In order to explore the uplift behavior of the modified suction caisson (MSC) in sand, model
tests on the MSCs with closed skirt structure under uplift loading were conducted. The MSCs …

A modified suction caisson (MSC), which was reported by the authors of this paper
previously, comprises an external short-skirted structure that is added to a regular suction …

A series of model tests are carried out to investigate the pull-out behavior of a suction
caisson foundation in sand, and the effort is focused on the effect of aspect ratio, loading …

The suction caisson is a new type of foundation having advantages such as easy
construction, reuse and low cost. It has been successfully applied to offshore platforms and …

Suction caissons for offshore wind turbine (OWT) are required to withstand larger horizontal
load resulting from wind and wave. In order to increase the horizontal bearing capacity, the …

A suction caisson can be extracted by applying reverse pumping water, which cannot be
regarded as the reverse process of installation because of the dramatically different soil …

Suction penetration and ultimate uplift capacity are the two keyissues in the design and
construction of suction caissons used as suction anchorsin deep water or multi-caisson …

The modified suction caisson (MSC) is a novel type of foundation for offshore wind turbines.
Model tests and numerical simulations were conducted on the MSCs in sand to explore the …

Abstract Model tests accompanying numerical analyses on the modified suction caissons
(MSCs) in saturated marine sand subjected to inclined loading were conducted to …

The modified suction caisson (MSC) adds a short-skirted structure around the regular
suction caisson to increase the bearing capacity and limit deflection. In this study, the …
