EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS OF THE CYCLIC RESPONSE OF SUCTION CAISSONS IN SAND (2000)

This paper is intended to add to this framework by detailing key results from an experimental investigation into the response of the foundation subjected to a variety of cyclic loading regimes. The model tests are conducted at 1g using a complex loading apparatus capable of applying independent control on vertical, horizontal and moment loading at cyclic rates of up to 1Hz. The foundation is embedded in oil saturated sand in a medium to a very dense state, and the typical period of cycling is such that offshore loading conditions are modelled.
