Abstract:

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 structures such as the offshore wind turbines. Suction caisson is a metal (or sometimes concrete) hollow cylinder that is open from its bellow while it is top is being closed by flat or dome plates. This type of caisson is called suction caisson mainly because its installation is done by suctioning their water outside after drainage. In this research, numerically study the effective factors on the pullout behavior of the suction caissons. The analyses conducted in two-dimensional form on the drainage condition on clay soil. The results of the analysis show that the strength parameters of the soil are significantly effective on the pullout capacity of the suction caisson.

An Investigation into the Pull-out Failure Mechanisms of Suction Caissons

This paper reports results from an investigation into the suction caissons failure mechanisms under vertical pull-out loads. An insight to the failure mechanisms of suction caissons paves the path for developing analytical solutions to their pull-out capacity. The numerical models of suction caissons have first been calibrated by and verified against several experimental data from other researc...

Prediction of Pull - out capacity of Suction Caissons Using Self - Evolving Neural Networks

A self-evolving neural network is developed using a combination of PSO and JPSO algorithms to predict the pull-out capacity of suction caissons in clay. The algorithm is proposed with the aim of reducing the network complexity without compromising accuracy. A database consisting of experiments performed on suction caissons is used to construct and validate the network model. The performance com...
