A standard formulation for the installation of suction caissons in sand
Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science, 2019 Suction assisted installation of caisson foundations in sand relies on the developed seepage around the caisson wall. Seepage is known to produce soil loosening inside the caisson cavity and an overall reduction in soil resistance to caisson penetration.

Stress-seepage coupled analysis of critical suction for installation of suction caissons in sand
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2021 The critical suction is the key control factor for the installation of suction caissons in sand. The existing methods mainly rely on seepage analysis to determine the critical suction, which does not consider soil deformation and consequently might not ...

INSTALLATION CONSTRAINTS OF SUCTION ASSISTED FOUNDATIONS AND ANCHORS FOR OFFSHORE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT
International Journal of GEOMATE, 2018 The application of suction caissons has increased over the last two decades for offshore energy developments. Their installation challenges in different seabed types affect their execution process and load-bearing capacity. Hence, the identification of these challenges and understanding their root causes are highly important.
