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 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 passive suction of suction foundations plays a significant role in pull-out resistance. The
factors influencing the uplift capacity include stress state, embedment ratio, and loading rate …

Uplift capacity of suction caissons is one of the main concerns in the design of jackets with
multi-caissons supported offshore wind turbine. The uplift movement of suction caissons …

Suction caisson foundation derives most of their uplift resistance from passive suction
developed during the pullout movement. It was observed that the passive suction generated …

Suction caisson foundations are often subjected to vertical uplift loads, but there are still no
wide and spread engineering specifications on design and calculation method for uplift …

Three-dimensional finite element (FE) analyses are conducted to calculate the pullout
capacity of a suction caisson subjected to oblique loadings. Two sets of FE analyses are …

Suction caissons have mainly been used as foundations to support offshore structures in
deep water. As the suction used to install suction caissons is dependent on water depth …

Suction caissons are widely used for anchoring floating platform and offshore wind turbines.
Penetration of the suction caisson into the desired position under the combination of its self …

ABSTRACT A series of model tests were performed on steel-and Perspex-made suction
caissons in saturated dense marine sand to explore installation and extraction behaviors …
