Model Tests of Suction Caisson Anchors:Reviews and Preliminary Results
This article presents procedures performed in order to investigate the behavior and capacity of suction caisson anchors. Primarily, literature surveys were conducted to gather pertinent information that could assist the study. Then, small-scale experimentation was performed using suction caissons having an aspect ratio of 2.0. Small-scale experimentation included both static and cyclic pull-out testing. Through static pull-out testing, the failure displacement, adhesion factor (α) and reversed-end bearing factor (Nc) were defined. Cyclic pull-out testing was then implemented to observe more convincing suction caisson anchor capacity by emulating the loading and unloading system due to wind and wave.
