Study on Penetration Resistance of Bucket Foundation Breakwater by Centrifuge Model Tests

Guan, Yunfei / Cao, Yongyong

Abstract This study presents the details of a newly developed bucket foundation breakwater. The bucket is sunk and penetrated into the foundation soil when it is installed. Centrifuge model tests are performed to study the penetration behaviour of the bucket foundation during the sinking process. The details of the test model and procedure are presented. It is found that the total penetration resistance increasing linearly in the muddy clay layer. An inflection point is found when the bucket reaches the silty clay layer. The penetration resistance corresponding to this inflection point can be thought to be the suction required to install the bucket foundation.
