Caissons on permeable seabeds have been designed and constructed
for a variety of needs in coastal and offshore engineering. An evaluation of the adequacy of the foundation beneath the structure is
required for an economic and safe design. To address this requirement, a two-dimensional analytical model of the foundation response...
Caissons are frequently used in the coastal environment for
breakwaters, jetties, seawalls, and piers. Because a satisfactory
analytical solution to a typical caisson installation has not been
developed, design of a caisson-style structure typically is either
based on physical model testing, which is expensive, or the
structure is designed as...
