Vertical performance of suction bucket foundation for offshore wind turbines in sand

Ocean Engineering, 2019
Abstract The suction bucket foundation is turning to be an increasingly prevalent foundation for offshore wind turbines (OWTs). In this study, a series of centrifuge tests are performed to investigate the vertical bearing capacity of the suction bucket foundation in sandy soil under drained condition.

The Soil Plug Failure Analysis during the Suction Penetration of Bucket Foundation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Research, 2011
A physical model test is conducted to study the hydraulic gradient and soil plug development during the suction penetration of bucket foundation in the silts. Furthermore, a FEM simulation is carried out by changing the geotechnical parameters and constitutive model to deeply study the suction penetration mechanism.

Suction Installation of Modular Bucket Foundation for Large Offshore Wind Turbines

open access: yes, 2020
Suction bucket foundation is named by many experts in offshore geotechnics as an alternative to pile foundations for offshore wind turbines as it is often more cost-effective. The suction installation process is noise-free and requires less operational time. A simple design of suction bucket is a steel cylindrical thin structure. A significant increase

Seepage Study for Suction Installation of Bucket Foundation in Different Soil Combinations

open access: yes, 2016
Research has proven the bucket foundation to be a feasible and an attractive solution for offshore wind turbines. Its potential derives partly from the cost-effectiveness due to the suction-assisted installation. The suction applied under the bucket lid produces a downward driving force and additionally reduces the soil penetration resistance.

Three dimensional limit analysis of suction bucket foundations

Ocean Engineering, 2010
Abstract This paper presents a three dimensional limit method based on the upper bound theory for the stability of suction bucket foundations of offshore platforms. The bucket embedded in soil is subjected to a lateral load applied above the mud line. In order to simulate the lateral load, a fictitious soil layer is assumed, having a thickness equals
