Compared with traditional pile foundations, the suction caisson foundation has the advantages of convenient transportation and construction, short construction period, reusable, and low cost, and is increasingly used in ocean engineering. The stability of the foundation is the key factor determining whether the offshore platform can be used normally. The suction caisson foundation in deep - water offshore platforms mainly bears the uplift load transmitted from the wind and waves acting on the superstructure. Therefore, the vertical bearing capacity of the suction caisson foundation is mainly the uplift bearing capacity.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] The existing suction caisson foundation has a low uplift bearing capacity in the ocean. Therefore, the existing technology improves the uplift bearing capacity from three aspects: 1. Increase the size of the suction caisson foundation; 2. Conduct foundation reinforcement; 3. Increase the self-weight of the suction caisson foundation. However, the first and second methods are uneconomical, costly, time-consuming, and the effects are not obvious. The third method uses a relatively large amount of steel to increase the self-weight of the suction caisson foundation, undoubtedly increasing the cost and being uneconomical.

After the workpiece 1 to be strengthened sinks, the servo electric cylinder 9 is started. The servo electric cylinder 9 pushes the piston connection key 5 to move downward through the push rod 10.

When the piston connection key 5 moves downward to the limit base 11, the piston connection key 5 no longer moves downward. At this time, the outer expansion arm 4 is completely opened and forms a chamfer shape. Then, the cement slurry in the cement mixing barrel is sequentially conveyed to the second grouting pipe 3, the first grouting pipe 2, the outer expansion arm 4 and sprayed from the plurality of grouting holes 8 arranged on the outer expansion arm 4. When the cement slurry solidifies, the cement slurry, the outer expansion arm 4 and the workpiece 1 to be strengthened form a solidified body to improve the horizontal and vertical bearing capacities of the workpiece 1 to be strengthened.
