Model tests on penetration and extration of modified suction caissons in clay
A series of model tests are conducted to investigate the installation and extraction behavior of the modified suction casson(MSC) embedded in marine clay by taking the MSC dimensions, shear strength of clay and installation method into account.

Suction Caisson Foundations for Offshore Wind Turbines
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

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

Drained Behaviour of Suction Caisson Foundations on Very Dense Sand
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

An elastoplastic 1D Winkler model for suction caisson foundations under combined loading [PDF]
Most existing Winkler models use non-linear elastic soil reactions to capture the non-linear behaviour of foundations. These models cannot easily capture phenomena such as permanent displacement, hysteresis and the influence of combined loading on the failure states.

Pull-out bearing behavior and failure mode of scaled suction caissons
The scaled suction caisson is a new type of the offshore mooring foundation, which can be applied to the floating structures and offshore photostatic power.
