Model Tests on Influence Factors on the Pullout Behavior of Suction Caisson in Stratified Soils
Advances in Civil EngineeringAs 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.

Soil conditions and bounds to suction during the installation of caisson foundations in sand [PDF]
Ocean Engineering, 2014 Suction installation of caisson foundations is widely adopted in the oil offshore industry. When such foundations are installed in sand, seepage conditions are known to play a pivotal role in the installation process. Pressure gradients generated by the imposed suction inside the caisson cavity cause an overall reduction in the lateral soil pressure ...

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.

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 ...

Time-critical design methods for suction caisson foundations
, 2018 This thesis is centred around the development of a family of computationally efficient design methods called ‘oxCaisson’, that can predict the behaviour of suction caisson foundations under six degrees-of-freedom loading. These design methods were developed for applications where timeliness or speed is a crucial factor; hence the term ‘time-critical ...

The theoretical modelling of a suction caisson foundation using hyperplasticity theory
, 2005 A theoretical model for the analysis of suction caison foundations, based on a thermodynamic framework (Houlsby and Puzrin 2000) and the macro-element concept is presented. The elastic-plastic response is first described in terms of a single-yield-surface model, using a non-associated flow rule.

The Modelling of Suction Caisson Foundations for Multi-Footed Structures [PDF]
, 2014 Suction caissons are a type of offshore foundation that allow for fast and noise-free installation and decommissioning of offshore structures. They have been used for 20 years in the oil and gas industry and are also becoming more common in the offshore wind sector as a promising way to cost reduction.

International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2022 Suction caissons are widely used as a promising alternative foundation for offshore structures under variable offshore environments. In this paper, a three-dimensional finite-element model which takes into account soil inelasticity was used to study the ...
