Bearing capacity of the bucket spudcan foundation for offshore jack-up drilling platforms

To compare the bearing capacities of the traditional spudcan and the bucket spudcan, the effects of different type spudcans on the rigidity of pile legs and the entire bearing capacity were analyzed in detail. Through the loading method of Swipe and constant displacement, this paper plots the spatia...
