“…The suction caisson, being installed economically and efficiently into soil deposits, has been increasingly used as a competitive foundation for offshore wind turbines in deep water [4,5]. A suction caisson is a large cylindrical structure that is typically made of steel, open at the bottom and closed at the top [6]. To set up a perfect offshore wind turbine, two aspects need to be considered for the engineering design of this foundation: suction installation and in-service performance [7].…”

The rapid development of offshore wind energy in China is becoming increasingly relevant for movement toward green development. This paper presents the results of visual tests of a suction caisson used as foundation for offshore wind turbines. The distribution of hydraulic gradients of sand at the mudline in the caisson was obtained to find out the relationship with the heights of soil plugs. The relationship equation was proposed and obtained by using quadratic regression, guiding project designs, and construction. It was found that there was no soil plug in the caisson when small suction was applied during the suction penetration. The relationship between the heights of the soil plugs and the hydraulic gradient of the soil was proposed and obtained by using quadratic regression to predict (roughly) the height of soil plugs in suction caissons in sand during suction penetration. The influence of settlement outside caissons on the soil plug was found to decrease as the buried depth rose.
