Model Tests on Influence Factors on the Pullout Behavior of Suction Caisson in Stratified Soils

Advances in Civil Engineering
As offshore wind power constructions expand into deep waters, suction caissons have gradually become the preferred foundation. The controlled load of the suction caisson for the deep-water wind turbine is the pullout load.

Automated Optimisation of Suction Caisson Foundations Using a Computationally Efficient Elastoplastic Winkler Model [PDF]

, 2019
This paper describes an automated approach for determining the optimal dimensions (length and diameter) of a suction caisson foundation subject to lateral loads, to minimise the foundation weight, whilst satisfying installation requirements ...

The Seepage and Soil Plug Formation in Suction Caissons in Sand Using Visual Tests

Applied Sciences, 2020
The rapid development of offshore wind energy in China is becoming increasingly relevant for movement toward green development. This paper presents the results of visual tests of a suction caisson used as foundation for offshore wind turbines.

Suction Caisson Foundations for Offshore Wind Turbines

Wind Engineering, 2002
This paper outlines a £ 1.5m, three year, research project that commenced during the middle of 2002 to determine a design framework for shallow foundations for offshore wind turbines. The shallow foundations in focus are suction-installed skirted foundations otherwise known as suction caissons (Houlsby and Byrne, 2000). There are eight distinct themes

Drained Behaviour of Suction Caisson Foundations on Very Dense Sand

Offshore Technology Conference, 1999
Abstract Alternatives to piled foundations, such as suction caissons, are becoming increasingly viable options for fixed platforms, particularly in the development of marginal fields. Whilst pile design procedures evolved smoothly from onshore experience and theory, design of shallow foundation systems has had to be

3D zero-thickness coupled interface finite element:Formulation and application [PDF]

, 2015
In many fields of geotechnical engineering, the modelling of interfaces requires special numerical tools. This paper presents the formulation of a 3D fully coupled hydro-mechanical finite element of interface.

Suction Caisson Foundations for Offshore Wind Turbines and Anemometer Masts

Wind Engineering, 2000
We describe briefly some of the challenges met by the designers of the foundation systems for offshore wind energy developments. Although some experience from the offshore oil and gas industry proves valuable, the size and nature of typical wind turbines means that the loadings on the foundations are quite different from those encountered previously ...

Numerical modelling of transient cyclic vertical loading of suction caissons in sand [PDF]

, 2015
This paper presents numerical investigations of the monotonic and cyclic behaviours of suction caissons upon vertical transient loading. Both drained and partially drained conditions are investigated.

Effects of Relative Roughness and Particle Size on the Interface Behavior of Concrete Suction Caisson Foundation for Offshore Wind Turbines

Energies, 2020
The interface behavior between a caisson and the surrounding soil plays an important role in the installation of suction caissons as foundations for offshore wind turbines.

Seismic Behavior of Suction Caisson Foundations

, 2019
Increasing population growth requires more sustainable development of energy. This non-contaminated energy has an inexhaustible energy source. One of the vital parameters in such structures is the choice of foundation type. Suction caissons are now used extensively worldwide for offshore wind turbine.
