Abstract: With the advantages of low construction costs and rapid installation, suction caissons are widely used as foundations in offshore engineering. This paper investigates the behavior of suction caisson foundations located in ...

Abstract: Cyclic loading of saturated sand under partially drained conditions may lead to accumulated strains, pore pressure buildup, and consequently reduced effective stress, stiffness, and shear strength. This will affect the ...

Abstract: This work presents a critical state plasticity model for predicting the response of sands to cyclic loading. The well-known bounding surface SANISAND framework by Dafalias and Manzari is enhanced with a memory surface to ...
