The bearing capacity of an open caisson under lateral loads is a key factor affecting the normal operation of an open caisson. It will inevitably have a disturbing effect on the surrounding soil layers during the sinking process of the caisson; that...
The rapid advancement of modern megapolises has led to a dearth of surface space, and, in response, engineers have begun to trial substitutes below ground level. Shafts are generally used to provide temporary access and permanent work to the subsurfa...
Modern challenges in civil engineering require decision-making that supports the development of technologies in line with sustainable development principles, including minimizing environmental impact and improving occupational safety. Open caisson si...
This study addresses the common challenges of complex soil behavior and the difficulties in achieving precise control during the construction of large open caissons. A centrifugal model test was conducted to investigate open caisson–fine sandy...
The maximum external force acting on a long continuous harbor structure can be reduced by controlling the phase difference of forces acting longitudinally. This strategy can be used to increase the structural stability of breakwaters consisting of ca...
Floating caissons can oscillate owing to ocean waves when towed to an installation site. To reduce these oscillations, free-surface anti-oscillation tanks mounted on floating caissons have been proposed. However, no coupled numerical model exists bet...
This study investigates the impact of soil–structure interaction (SSI) and foundation–soil–foundation interaction (FSFI) on the dynamic behaviour of jacket substructures founded on buckets for offshore wind turbines. A parametric an...
The construction of caisson breakwaters dates from ancient times (Brindisi battle and Caesarea Maritima, Roman Empire) of yore but has evolved with regards to technology and the materials available at all times (wood, gravel, and rubble mound). The g...
Scour near various offshore structures (monopile, caisson foundation and jacket structure) was studied by performing laboratory flume tests and numerical solutions with a semi-empirical model (SEDSCOUR) and a sophisticated 2DV model (SUSTIM2DV). The...
This study focuses on the analysis of the parameters of an oscillating water column (OWC) wave energy conversion system and wave conditions. Interactions between the dimensions of the OWC chambers and wave conditions are all taken into account to des...
With the ongoing urbanization and densification of cities worldwide, the planning and utilization of urban underground space (UUS) have become crucial for developing urban underground infrastructure. Given the limited construction space within dense...
More and more huge embedded foundations are used in large-span bridges, such as caisson foundations and anchorage open caisson foundations. Most of the embedded foundations are undergoing horizontal vibration forces, that is, wind and wave forces or...
The U-OWC is a caisson breakwater embodying a device for wave energy absorption. Under the wave action, the pressure acting on the upper opening of the vertical duct fluctuates, producing a water discharge alternatively entering/exiting the plant thr...
