Offshore design methods for suction caissons have been generally adapted from driven piles, with which the industry is highly experienced. Active research efforts are underway to better understand suction caissons design issues, but these projects will not be completed and integrated into design codes for several years. this workshop was held to achieve more industry consistency in design methodology and criteria in the interim.
