Seepage Study for Suction Installation of Bucket Foundation in Different Soil Combinations [PDF]
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.
