CAISSON: A Suction Pile Design Tool

open access: yesVolume 6: Polar and Arctic Sciences and Technology; Offshore Geotechnics; Petroleum Technology Symposium, 2013
The two main suction pile design methods that are generally applied and accepted within the industry are 3D Finite Element analysis and limit equilibrium. The limit equilibrium method involves assuming a number of failure mechanisms with the mechanism offering the least resistance adopted for design.

Suction Caissons in Intermediate Soils

9th International SUT Offshore Site Investigation Geotechnics Conference Proceedings “Innovative Geotechnologies for Energy Transition”, 2023
Suction caisson supported jackets have been used on several recent offshore wind farm projects in Europe including Aberdeen Bay, Borkum Riffgrund 2 and Seagreen. Suction caissons are particularly sensitive to soil conditions, including 'intermediate' soils such as partially drained sands, silts, and heavily interbedded sands and clays.

Decommissioning Analyses for Suction Caisson Foundations

Volume 9: Offshore Geotechnics; Petroleum Technology, 2023
Abstract Suction caisson foundations are an economic alternative to piled foundations to support offshore jackets, especially in situations where there is shallow bedrock. Over the last few years significant advances in the design of suction caissons have developed, leading to a strong increase in installed suction caissons, particularly

Modelling the variation of suction pressure during caisson installation in sand using FLAC3D [PDF]

open access: yesShips and Offshore Structures, 2017
A suction caisson is an upturned ‘bucket’ of cylindrical shape made from steel. This type of foundation has been very popular in the oil and gas industry and the current trend is to extend its use to offshore wind farms. Seepage conditions play a pivotal

Extraction of suction caissons in sand

Géotechnique, 2014
This technical note examines the suction caisson extraction mechanism under steady seepage conditions using a series of centrifuge tests supported by finite-element predictions of these tests. An approximate methodology for prediction of the extraction resistance is subsequently proposed, which is shown to provide a simple means for estimation of ...

Use of suction caissons for seawall construction

Ocean Engineering, 2022
With rising sea level and demand for more nearshore infrastructures, the current methods for seawall construction may no longer be sustainable. Alternative seawall construction methods need to be developed. When seawall or other coastal defense systems are constructed on soft marine deposits, suction caissons are feasible to be installed into marine ...

Resistance of Caisson Tip with Internal Bevels for Suction Caissons Penetrating into Clay

International Journal of Geomechanics, 2021
Abstract Suction caissons with internal bevels at the caisson tip can effectively reduce resistance to make them to penetrate into the seabed easily.
