Experimental study on suction pile heave resonance during lowering operations

Overview
abstract
One of the challenges of installing a suction pile is the occurrence of the heave resonance of the pile-cable system during the pile lowering process. To predict and possibly mitigate the resonance of the system, it is crucial to accurately estimate the natural frequency from the total added-mass of the system. The objective of this study is to determine the total added-mass coefficient of a suction pile through model tests.
