The effect of external wings on the behavior of suction anchor

Suction anchors may be subjected to quasihorizontal, quasivertical or inclined loading depending on the type of structure and the water depth. The loading conditions can give rise to horizontal and vertical loads, and moments. To achieve the best performance, suction anchors may be used in different...
