As a newly developed type of foundation for deep water offshore and marine engineering, the suction caisson is usually subjected to combined loading of vertically uplift load, horizontal load and moment. Performance evaluation and design theory for such a new type of foundation can not meet the basic requirements of engineering practice sufficiently at present. In this paper, the general-purpose finite element analysis package ABAQUS is employed to conduct three-dimensional numerical analyses on load-carrying features of suction caisson foundation. Then the ultimate bearing capacity of suction caisson foundation under monotonic load for two drainage conditions of the soil is evaluated by displacing-controlling procedure.
