Abstract
The lateral capacity of suction caissons and traditional pile elements are evaluated under loading conditions typical of deepwater exploration and production applications. Results from finite element analyses for cohesive and a layered clay-over-sand foundation are presented. The effects of the suction caisson soil-structure interface conditions and modeling assumptions are shown to dramatically affect computed capacities.
