Geotechnical Performance of Suction Caisson Installation in Multi-layered Seabed Profiles [PDF]

, 2018
Suction caissons consist of large cylindrical buckets made from steel. In order to serve as foundations for various offshore structures, suction caissons are pushed into the seabed under pressure differential exerted on their lid by an imposed suction ...
