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

Prediction of suction caissons behavior in cohesive soils using computational intelligence methods [PDF]
Compared to drag anchors, suction caissons (Q) in clays often provide a cost-effective alternative for jacket structures, catenary, tension leg moorings, and taut leg.

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.

Serviceability of suction caisson founded offshore structures
Suction caissons have recently been considered as a cost-effective alternative to conventional foundations for offshore met masts and wind turbines. Such foundation arrangements are suitable for applications within water up to 20 m deep. Most offshore structures have stringent serviceability limits imposed on their design dictating the allowable ...

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
