3. Introduction
Suction caissons or upturned buckets that
has been used in place of large diameter
piles for offshore structures for a depth of
15m to 40m.
Subjected to lateral and vertical loads.
Installed partially by self wt. and partially
by suction pressure.
There are no accepted procedures, such
as API guidelines for piles.
Analysis in the present study is done considering two critical aspects of
loading –
1) Long term drained loading limits of caisson response.
2) Caisson response after cyclic loading due to waves.
Houlsby, Ibsen & Byrne (2005)
4. Objective of study
Objective is to study the behavior of suction bucket in sandy
and clayey soil deposits under different loading conditions
using FEM (finite element method) to develop interaction
diagrams based on load deformation curves using
commercial software ABAQUS 6.10
Interaction diagram approach to bearing capacity estimation
for shallow footing enables the engineer to take into account
the interaction between different loading components acting
on footing.
6. Modelling of soil and caisson for monotonic
loading
For Simulation of the soil’s stress-strain-behavior following are provided in
the commercial software ABAQUS 6.10 -
1) Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion -
2) Elasto-Plastic material law -
.
This material law was extended in the
elastic range by taking a stress-
dependency of the oedometric modulus
of elasticity

8. Passive pressure distribution
This passive pressure
distribution shows That the
caisson at a depth of 2m
below the ground surface
experiences the maximum
stress And the value at
ultimate failure should be
considered in design.

For a eccentricity of 4m the ultimate load is about 42.67 MN (D=15m, L=12m) and
32.3MN for a eccentricity of 10m, this value of ultimate load continuously
decreases with eccentricity .in similar way load belonging to specific deformations
are affected.
height of the loading pint and the moment load considerably affects the stiffness
as well as the ultimate load

for OWECs, is obtained at a loads of about 18MN (D=15m, L=12m)
and for an eccentricity of 4m and 10.2MN for an eccentricity of 10m
are obtained
11. Estimation of ultimate load by Chin’s Method
• w/H versus w is plotted
The equation of the straight line can be represented as
w/H = C1 w + C2 (1)
• ultimate load Hu is then equal to
(H)ult = 1/C1 (2)
by Substituting equation (1) in (2) we get
H = [(h)ult w] / [w + (H)ult C2]

27. conclusion
In the study using monotonic loading the load-moment interaction for
the ultimate state can be described by nearly parallel straight lines for
a particular type of soil.
Caisson under static monotonous loading behave as rigid piles with a
single point of rotation. The depth of point of rotation varies with the
type of soil and loading.
Load carrying capacity has been varied with the type of soil and skirted
foundations are recommended for higher load resistance.
With the help of passive pressure distribution diagrams it has been
found that the bucket is experiencing the maximum stress at .25L from
the top.
28. Future work
Development of load interaction diagrams using load deformation
curves for clayey soil strata and a different soil model.
Development of normalization curves for design of foundation
under wave loading.
In the study pore water pressure is not considered it can also be
taken into account.
Modulus of elasticity is also considered constant and variation of
modulus of elasticity with the deformation will be considered.
Change in load deformation using other soil models can be
considered.
