Abstract:
The use of suction caissons (suction piles) in marine environments has been increasing in the last decade. A suction caisson is a steel pipe with an open bottom and a closed top that is inserted into the ground by pumping water out of it. Pumping creates a differential pressure across the caisson's top that pushes it into place, thus eliminating the need for pile driving. There are a number of uncertainties in the design of suction caissons. First, the state of stress and soil conditions adjacent to a suction caisson differs from those around typical driven piles or drilled shafts. Second, the

Abstract:
Suction caissons attract the attention as the foundation of offshore wind turbines. Installation and resistance behaviors of the suction caisson are important factors for the design of foundation. An installation behavior into sandy seafloor was discussed by using a model suction caisson and the failure surfaces in the aluminum rod mass, as the model ground, subjected to lateral force were compared. Consequently, the installation of model suction caisson into sandy sea depended on the permeability of sandy seafloor and lateral resistance of suction caisson depended on the dimension of suction

Abstract:
The bearing capacity of suction caissons is the key to the design of offshore structures. A new type of cross-shaped low-skirted suction caisson is invented to effectively improve the bearing capacity, considering inevitable “soil plug” phenomenon. The behaviors of penetration and pullout for new low-skirted suction caisson are investigated by performing model tests. A new formula for calculating the penetration resistance is suggested based on the limit equilibrium theory and the test data, which can consider the change of the lateral area of the suction caisson during penetration.

Suction caissons are widely used foundations in offshore engineering.

Large deformation finite element (LDFE) analyses were performed to study the installation of caissons by suction and jacking in normally consolidated clay.

The results allowed quantification of differences in the behaviour of caissons installed entirely by jacking compared with a combination of self-weight and suction as is used in the field.

Abstract Suction caissons are often used for the caissons of both offshore oil platforms and offshore wind power projects because of their advantages of simple construction, economical cost, and reusability. In this study, model tests were conducted in sand in order to investigate the effects of the caisson installation method on the penetration depth and the critical suction. Results of the test program showed that the method of changing the frequency of suction during different stages of the process can increase the penetration depth of the caisson.

The length of suction caisson anchors has been increasing to support increasing dimensions and weight of floating facilities, which necessitates employing horizontal ring stiffeners at intervals along the inner wall of the thin skirt of caissons to ensure structural integrity. The addition of these stiffeners has created significant uncertainties regarding soil flow mechanisms, in particular soil heave inside the caisson, which may reduce the caisson final penetration depth and influence the process of installation due to the need to avoid inside soil suction in the pumping equipment.

As a new type of deep water offshore foundation, suction caisson is widely used to offshore structures. However, the current methods of evaluation and design cannot meet the increasing requirement of engineering practice. In this dissertation, the studies are emphasized on finite element method for analyzing the suction caisson bearing capacity behavior and the failure mechanism under the vertical load. Based on studying the vertical bearing behavior of caissons with different ratio of length to diameter L / D, it shown that as L / D increases, the vertical bearing capacity growth slowed.

This paper proposes a novel model that can predict the displacement of suction caisson anchors under monotonic and cyclic loading. Failure is assumed to occur when the accumulative monotonic and cyclic displacement along the load attachment point is over 60% of the diameter of the anchor. The anchors will go through lateral failure when the accumulative monotonic and cyclic displacement along the loading direction at the load attachment point is over 30% of the diameter. Hence, it is important to predict this displacement and therefore determine the expected failure of the anchor. However, it

[Truncated abstract] The demand for offshore wind turbines is increasing in densely populated areas, such as Europe. These constructions are typically founded on a gravity foundation or a large 'mono pile'. Gravity foundations can only be used at locations where strong soils exist and water depths are limited. Costs associated with a 'mono pile' type foundation contribute to a very large percentage of the total investment costs. This research, therefore, focuses upon a different foundation for offshore wind turbines, namely suction caissons beneath a tripod. This foundation can be used in all
