TL;DR: A series of model tests have been carried out in order to investigate the behavior of suction caissons during installation in a soft clay seabed and explore more effective installation techniques as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors divided the pipeline into four segments: the first segment in the landslide zone, which is exposed to landslide drag force and nonlinear lateral soil resistance; the second one adjacent to the landslide, which was only externally loaded by lateral soil resistances; the third one further away from the landslide and uniquely loaded by axial resistance.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extended an analytical solution for vertical pipeline buckling on a rigid seabed to a soft seafloor, and analyzed the effects of soil resistance on pipeline stability, buckling mode and amplitude.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of cable slippage in soil on the mooring behavior was considered. But the authors only considered the effect on a single cable and did not consider the impact of slippages on a two-dimensional (2D) static model.

TL;DR: In this article, a quasi-static model based on soil resistance and chain elastic elongation is presented to predict the behavior of an embedded chain. But the authors do not consider the influence of pretension loads and angles at the TDP on the behaviors of embedded chain, and some useful conclusions are drawn.
