Numerical investigation of caisson with pad-eye stiffener installation into nonhomogeneous clay

Caisson foundations are widely used in offshore engineering. During installation, the soil flow mechanism of stiffened caissons with local thickening at the pad-eye is still not well understood. In this study, large deformation finite element (LDFE) model is established to investigate the penetratio...
