Vertical and horizontal dynamic response of suction caisson foundations
In this article, the dynamic response of suction caisson foundations is studied using a three-dimensional finite element model with an absorbing boundary. The adopted formulation is based on the substructuring method. This formulation has been applied to

Upper Bound Solutions for Uplift Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Suction Caisson Foundation
Suction caisson foundation derives most of their uplift resistance from passive suction developed during the pullout movement. It was observed that the passive suction generated in soil at the bottom of the caisson and the failure mode of suction caisson foundation subjecting pullout loading behaves as a reverse compression failure mechanism. The upper

Long-Term Lateral Cyclic Response of Suction Caisson Foundations in Sand
AbstractSkirted gravity base foundations and suction caisson foundations are considered as viable alternatives to monopile foundations for offshore wind turbines. While recent work has focused on the monotonic moment-rotation response for shallow foundations, the cyclic response and the accumulation of rotation over the life of the turbine must also be

Design considerations of suction caisson foundations for offshore wind turbines in Southern China
Abstract Suction caisson foundations are increasingly considered as a foundation solution for offshore wind farm development in China. This paper outlines the design considerations for developing a suction caisson supported jacket solution for an offshore wind farm in Southern China. Geotechnical analyses for four major aspects, ultimate limit state (

Penetration and Pullout Capacity of Low-Skirted Suction Caissons
The bearing capacity of suction caissons is the key to the design of offshore structures. A new type of cross-shaped low-skirted suction caisson is invented to effectively improve the bearing capacity, considering inevitable “soil plug” phenomenon.
