A finite element analysis of the pullout capacity of suction caissons in clay
Suction caissons are increasingly becoming the foundation of choice for offshore structures in deep water. They are used extensively in Tension Leg Platforms and provide the most efficient foundations for many offshore wind turbine structures. One of their major advantages is the ability to …

Response of suction caissons in soft clay under vertical and horizontal loading for tidal energy converter applications
… to 24 hours with the ebb and flood of the tide. Suction caissons provide a foundation element that are theoretically well equipped to resist these unique set of loading conditions while further contributing to the ‘green’ nature of the TEC. This study investigated the response of intermediate …
