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 depths of 20-30m. Most offshore structures have stringent serviceability limit states imposed on their design dictating the allowable structural deflections and accumulated rot...
متن کاملEvaluation of Influencing Factors on the Pull-out Behavior of Suction Caissons
Suction caisson is a type of floor foundation for the offshore structures that is also called suction pile, bucket foundation, suction anchor, or sometimes ridge foundation depending on its application. In two past decades, this type of foundation has been widely used around the world as the fixed offshore foundation, anchor of the floating platforms, as well as the foundation of other marine s...
متن کاملSuction Caisson Anchors - a Better Option for Deep Water Applications
As offshore exploration and development of oil fields reach water depths of 1,000 to 3,000 m, novel methods of anchoring production platforms become attractive due to cost savings associated with installation. Surface production systems that are viable in these water depths include Tension Leg Platforms (TLP), spar platforms, and laterally moored ship-shaped and semisubmersible vessels. Possibl...
متن کاملAssessing Serviceability Improvement Alternatives of Existing Structures
The aim of this paper is to present a generic decision support system for selecting an optimal repair alternative for aging infrastructure systems considering sustainability. Emphasis is placed on how to properly decide on a maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, replacement strategy for deteriorating structures, applying the concept of life-cycle cost analysis. Taking into account the decision t...
متن کاملOptimization of Cathodic Protection on Offshore Structures
Marine structures are one of the most important and susceptible facilities in Iran due to corrosion. The two methods of Cathodic Protection, namely, the cathodic protection with sacrificial anodes and cathodic protection using impressed current, are widely used for corrosion protection. According to the former, sacrificial anodes are installed at several points in the structure. Position of the...
