0. No Caisson Weight Added

> 0. Add Bw,caisson γL,Bw to factored V load

1. Calculate Bw,caisson from caisson geometry (L,D etc.)

2. Use stickup factor ηVst,wall and extra buoyant weight ΔBw,caisson

3. User-supplied value (Bw,caisson constant) (? = 1)

7.3 How to calculate chain profile? 1. Auto-compute chain profile using seafloor Tz0, θ0 2. Input own chain T, θ profile
