A three-dimensional numerical modeling using the finite element method for the suction caisson are described to decide suitability as foundation of offshore wind turbine in this paper. In the simulation, soil-structure interaction is defined by comparing experiment data. The reaction of monopod suction caisson is presented by moment loading which was calculated by FAST. Tendency of suction caisson appeared by difference of length and diameter of skirt under coupled loading. Length and diameter of skirt are suggested and evaluated as a offshore wind turbine.

In case of uneven surcharge like backfill or embankment after constructing caisson applied on the deep soft marine deposits, lateral deformation of soft soils would happen due to plastic deformation of soil particles by increase of excess pore water pressure. Lateral deformation of soil will result in the caisson displacement which affects soft soil-caisson structure safety. Soft soil was improved by soil compaction pile method, and then gravity caisson was installed. Soil deformations were monitored and analyzed with step by step backfill and embankment behind the caisson. Amount and speed of lateral deformation after the installation of caissons were closely related with the time of backfill and embankment. The relationship between maximum lateral displacement($\Delta_y$) in front of caisson and settlement($\Delta_s$) can be expressed as $\Delta_y=(0.0871)\Delta_s+122.95$. Soft soil depth did not affect the lateral displacement of caisson in this study, which can be explained the soft soil improvement under the caisson by S.C.P. method. Substantially the amount and speed of the lateral deformation of caisson were closely related with the uneven surcharging rate behind caisson.

The objective of this study is to monitor the health status of harbor caissons which have potential foundation damage. To obtain the objective, the following approaches are performed. Firstly, a structural damage monitoring(SDM) method is designed for interlocked multiple-caisson structures. The SDM method utilizes the change in modal strain energy to monitor the foundation damage in a target caisson unit. Secondly, a finite element model of a caisson system which consists of three caisson units is established to verify the feasibility of the proposed method. In the finite element simulation, the caisson units are constrained each other by shear-key connections. The health status of the caisson system against various levels of foundation damage is monitored by measuring relative modal displacements between the adjacent caissons.

본 연구에서는 케이슨 안벽의 뒷굽이 주동토압에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 한계해석법을 사용하여 뒷굽의 길이에 따라 벽면마찰력이 뒷굽 상부에서 발생하는 활동면의 경사각에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 분석결과 뒷굽의 길이가 짧을수록 내측 활동면의 경사각은 증가하나, 외측 활동면의 경사각은 일정하였다. 실제 케이슨 안벽에서 발생하는 파괴면에 작용하는 토압과 동일한 토압을 갖는 뒷굽 끝에서의 가상의 연직배면에 작용하는 토압에 대하여 뒷굽의 상대 길이-뒤채움 토사의 내부마찰각-벽면마찰각-가상의 연직배면에 작용하는 배면마찰각 등의 상관관계를 구하였다. 뒷굽이 짧을수록 케이슨 안벽에 작용하는 토압이 Rankine 토압보다는 작아지나 뒷굽의 길이를 고려하지 않은 Coulomb 토압보다는 항상 크게 나타났다.

One of the main parameters that affect the design of suction caisson-supported offshore structures is uplift behavior. Pull-out of suction caissons is profoundly utilized as the offshore wind turbine foundations accompany by a tensile resistance that is a function of a complex interaction between the caisson dimensions, geometry, wall roughness, soil type, load history, pull-out rate, and many other parameters. In this paper, a parametric study using a 3-D finite element model (FEM) of a single offshore suction caisson (SOSC) surrounded by saturated soil is performed to examine the effect of some key factors on the tensile resistance of the suction bucket foundation. Among the aforementioned parameters, caisson geometry and uplift loading as well as the difference between the tensile resistance and suction pressure on the behavior of the soil-foundation system including tensile capacity are investigated. For this purpose, a full model including 3-D suction caisson, soil, and soil-structure interaction (SSI) is developed in Abaqus based on the u-p formulation accounting for soil displacement (u) and pore pressure, P.The dynamic responses of foundations are compared and validated with the known results from the literature. The paper has focused on the effect of geometry change of 3-D SOSC to present the soil-structure interaction and the tensile capacity. Different 3-D caisson models such as triangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, and octagonal are employed. It is observed that regardless of the caisson geometry, by increasing the uplift loading rate, the tensile resistance increases. More specifically, it is found that the resistance to pull-out of the cylinder is higher than the other geometries and this geometry is the optimum one for designing caissons.

Recent earthquakes, measuring over a magnitude of 5.0, on the eastern coast of Korea, have aroused interest in earthquake analyses and the seismic design of caisson-type breakwaters. Most earthquake analysis methods, such as equivalent static analysis, response spectrum analysis, nonlinear analysis, and capacity analysis, are deterministic and have been used for seismic design and performance evaluation of coastal structures. However, deterministic methods are difficult for reflecting on one of the most important characteristics of earthquakes, i.e. the uncertainty of earthquakes. This paper presents results of probabilistic seismic hazard assessment(PSHA) of an actual caisson-type breakwater, considering uncertainties of earthquake occurrences and soil properties. First, the seismic vulnerability of a structure and the seismic hazard of the site are evaluated, using earthquake sets and a seismic hazard map; then, the seismic risk of the structure is assessed.

기존 케이슨방파제의 안정성을 높이기 위해 케이슨 전면 또는 후면에 추가로 신규 케이슨을 설치하여 보강하는 설계 및 시공사례가 발생되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존 원형케이슨 전면 또는 후면에 신규 원형케이슨이 추가 설치될 경우 파와 구조물간의 상호작용 영향을 분석하기 위해 고유함수전개법을 이용하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 수치해석의 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해 Williams and Li의 수치 해석결과와 비교를 수행하였으며, 추가로 설치되는 원형케이슨의 다양한 변수에 따른 개별 원형케이슨에 작용하는 파력 및 파처오름 특성을 분석하였다.

Deformation of caisson occurred during the backfilling behind the caisson and some caisson moved toward seaside. A series of site investigation were conducted to figure out various circumstances at site and also used to analyze the cause of deformation. The soil condition of backfilling is also investigated because dredged material was used as a backfill material. The friction angle of backfill is supposed to be lower than the estimated one which was used in design stage. To determine the cause of friction shortage, back analysis for sliding safety were carried out with considering the soil condition of backfilling. A remedial plan, re-rising and relocating a caisson with backfilling good earth after treatment of caisson rubble mound to achieve the safety for sliding was proposed as a best solution based on the back analysis results. Reform concrete structure including service gallery and crane rail was also considered with the remedial work to improve the cape line of caisson.

최근 건설구조물의 하자보수기간은 5년에서 10년으로 연장되었고 건설품질 및 유지관리에 대한 인식의 변화에 따라 교량, 댐, 항만 구조물의 수중부 은폐된 부분에 대한 유지관리를 위해 반영구적인 공법의 개발이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지금까지 대형 강관 및 교각의 수중시공에서는 잠수부들의 기술능력부족과 수중에서의 작업조건의 까다로움 등으로 임시적인 작업이 되었던 현 실정을 고려하여 수중구조물 유지관리에 실용화 될 수 있는 공법으로 부체식 섹터케이슨을 제안하였다. 특히, 상부구조물이 수면에 가까운 경우 및 구조물간 간격이 좁은 경우 보수구간의 접근성과 교각과 같은 대형 수중구조물 유지 보수 시 드는 고비용의 문제 등으로 전체 구조체를 설치하는 대신 섹터케이슨을 개발하여 도입함으로써 비상시 이동과 장래 신속한 작업수행 및 작업수준 향상에 획기적인 역할이 기대 된다.

Shaking table tests and pseudo-static analysis were performed, in this study, on newly-designed aseismatic L-type caisson quay walls, which were constructed by extending the bottom plate of gravity quay walls into the backfill soil. The L-type quay walls are expected to give economical benefits by reducing the cross-sectional area of the wall while maintaining its aseismatic efficiency as much as the classical caisson gravity quay wall. To confirm the effectiveness of the L-type structure, the geometry of L-type quay walls were varied for shaking table tests. And, to verify the influence of backfill soils on the seismic behavior of quay walls, additional shaking table tests were performed on the L-type quay wall after the backfill soils were replaced by gravels and light materials. As a result, it was found that L-type caisson quay walls are good earthquake resistant structures but increasing the length of bottom plate did not proportionally increase the effectiveness of the structure in its aseismatic performance. Replacing the backfill soils by the gravels and light materials, contrary to our expectation, was not an effective measure in improving the seismic performance of L-type caisson quay wall.
