... long-term examination. Tests can be done with specimens of up to one meter in diameter and one meter in skirt length. The overburden pressure can be as large as 70 kPa using a tight latex membrane which covers the specimen and the soil surface. In addition to the description of the rig, results from...

...-foundation contact surfaces. Since the increase in skirt length needs greater forces in order to dissipate induced negative pore pressures, the undrained bearing capacity will grow up. KEY WORDS: Skirted foundation; Drucker-Prager; Numerical Analysis; Uplift Capacity; ABAQUS. INTRODUCTION In the last 50...

... strain FE analysis provided the bearing capacity of the surface skirted footing with certain skirt length. The FE results showed that, relative to the bearing capacity of spudcans, a skirted footing can significantly reduce the potential of punch-through failure by extending the skirt length to the layer...

... interaction analysis. Dynamic response of a caisson structure with suction and seabed around it was numerically evaluated for wave pressures acting on the front surface of the caisson, which were measured under the irregular wave in the experimental basin. The effects of the skirt length and suction...

... compartment. While the seabed was assumed to be a fluid-saturated poroelastic medium whose behavior is governed by Biot's theory of wave propagation. The effects of skirt length of caisson and suction acting on compartments on the dynamic response of a caisson was numerically investigated. This type...

... is governed by Biot's theory of wave propagation, and the suction pile anchor was modeled as a rigid and hollow cylinder with upper cover. In this paper, the effect of the skirt length of suction pile anchor on both the displacement response of suction pile anchor and that of seabed was investigated from...
