DOI: 10.1007/s11802-017-3459-5
Abstract: Suction bucket foundations can be divided into four compartments by cruciform internal bulkheads, thereby yielding better capacity in certain conditions than those without internal bulkheads. As yet, no systematic study has been conducted regarding the… read more here.
