Installation and inclined loading of a suction caisson anchor in calcareous sand

open access: yesOcean Engineering
This paper reports a series of centrifuge tests conducted on a stiffened suction caisson anchor in a medium dense calcareous sand. The aims were to provide insight into the behaviour of the anchor during installation and under operational monotonic ...

Modelling suction caisson installation in sand using FLAC3D

open access: yes, 2014
Suction caisson foundations have been very popular in oil and gas industry and the current trend is to extend their use to offshore wind farms. A suction caisson is an upturned 'bucket' of cylindrical shape made from steel.

Soil conditions and bounds to suction during the installation of caisson foundations in sand [PDF]

open access: yesOcean 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.

Soil failure mechanisms during installation and inclined pullout of stiffened suction caisson in calcareous silt

open access: yesApplied Ocean Research, 2022
Soil failure mechanisms of stiffened suction caisson during installation and inclined pullout in calcareous silt have been investigated through centrifuge model tests and small strain finite element analyses (FEA).

Suction Caisson Installation in Layered Soils – Observations From Installations

9th International SUT Offshore Site Investigation Geotechnics Conference Proceedings “Innovative Geotechnologies for Energy Transition”, 2023
Limited experience is available in the public domain for suction caisson installation in layered soil conditions. Complex and variable site conditions comprising silty sand, sand with silt/clay beds and layered soil conditions affect the installation and make predictions difficult.

Soil Reconsolidation Following the Installation of Suction Caissons

Offshore Technology Conference, 2003
Abstract Experiments are being performed with a prototype suction caisson in tanks of soft clay. This paper contains recent test results and numerical simulations showing the reconsolidation behavior of the soil around the installed caisson.

Installation of Suction Caissons in Sand with Silt Layers

Journal of Geotechnical and Geoenvironmental Engineering, 2007
Suction caissons are increasingly being used for offshore anchors because of their ease of installation. However, for soil profiles that have sand overlain by layers of silt, there are reasons to believe that it may not be possible to install suction caissons.
