Horizontal capacity of multiple suction anchors using numerical analysis

Suction anchors or suction pile anchors are one of the most common foundation systems for floating structures in offshore because of their convenience in construction. As the offshore structures become larger and come to locate in deep water, the demand on mooring-anchor systems with large capacity is also increasing. To enhance the horizontal capacity of suction anchor, in this study, multiple types of suction anchor are introduced inwhich two …
