Lateral and Overturning Resistance of Wind Turbine Foundations Reinforced with Piles on Bedrock by Modelling Experiments

This study evaluated the lateral and overturning resistance of wind turbine foundations reinforced with piles on bedrock through model experiments. In particular, changes in were analyzed according to cross-sectional size presence foundations. As a result, by reducing cross-section, pile-reinforced foundation was compared existing large cross-sections shown be 1.68 times greater. case vertical displacements affecting overturning, safety also greater, as displacement 36% smaller than foundation. result unidirectional cyclic load foundation, value similar that static target value, it showed elastic resilience very due pile reinforcement. According bending moment measurement embedded bedrock, moments order front row, right-hand back while maximum generation found boundary surface rubble mound layer for well row row.
