Abstract

This technical note examines the suction caisson extraction mechanism under steady seepage conditions using a series of centrifuge tests supported by ﬁnite-element predictions of these tests. An approximate methodology for prediction of the extraction resistance is subsequently proposed, which is shown to provide a simple means for estimation of suction caisson extraction resistance in un-aged free-draining materials.
