The structure of an air-floating caisson is suitable for the major structure of caisson-type artificial islands. Thus, it has been rapidly developed and widely used in the exploration and development of oil and gas fields in shallow sea and intertidal zones. Air-floating transportation technology is one of the key technologies employed in this structure. In this paper, the factors influencing the dynamic response characteristics of air-floating caisson with multi-compartments (AFCMC) were studied using model tests. The length and the height of each air-floating structure in the model were 1.0 and 0.1 m, respectively. In addition, the 1:100 models with 6, 8, and 10 compartments under regular waves were tested in the wave flume, respectively. In the experiments, the respective water depths were set at 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 m, and the corresponding drafts were 0.05, 0.06, and 0.07 m. Results show that with the increase of draft, the heave natural period increased and the maximum amplitude of the heave motion decreased. Meanwhile, the pitch motion decreased at 6 and 8 compartments and increased at 10 compartments. As the water depth increased, the maximum amplitude and amplitude change of heave and pitch motions first increased and then decreased. However, several amplitudes close to the maximum amplitude appeared in the measured period at shallower water depth, thereby indicating the vertical movements of the structure en-hanced under shallow water. The increase in the number of compartments reduced the vertical movements under 6.0 m draft, but it increased the vertical movements under 5.0 and 7.0 m draft. Thus, increasing the number of compartments has a limited capacity to improve the motion performance of the structure.
