Evaluation 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...

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...
