Resumen:

The reliability formulation for the analyses of suction caissons subjected to environmental loadings from FPSO systems is presented in this paper. The capacity model for the suction caisson assumes normally consolidated clays with a linear variation on the undrained shear strength. The limit equilibrium method was used to assess the inclined capacity of suction caissons. The probabilistic characterization of the environmental loading is associated to deep water sites in the Bay of Campeche in the Gulf of Mexico. The reliability of the suction caissons was performed by means of Monte Carlo simulations and calibration of partial safety factors was carried out for the ultimate limit state using the design equation proposed by DNV [1].
