Anthropogenic noise is now a prominent pollutant increasing in both terrestrial and marine environments. In the ocean, proliferating offshore windfarms, key renewable energy source, are concern, as their pile driving construction among most intense anthropogenic sound sources. Yet, across taxa, there little information of impacts on organismal fine-scale movement despite its link to individual ...

Laboratory measurements were undertaken to investigate wave and current velocities in the vicinity of a wind turbine monopile foundation, in order to inform environmental impact assessments and to quantify flow variability in the region of the power take off cable. Flow measurements were made up to 15.5 pile diameters (D) downstream of the pile. Measurements were also taken around the perimeter...

Vibration can cause damage to the building structure, reducing its operational reliability: stability, impairing load-bearing capacity of slabs and also causing cracks. To prevent above causes, vibration loads acting both on structure as a whole parts should be monitored. This paper discusses results measurement caused by pile driving in soil an adjacent housing complex. The aim study was deter...

Pile driving is one of the most intense anthropogenic noise sources in marine environment. Each foundation pile may require up to a several thousand strokes high hammer energy be driven embedded depth. Scientific evidence shows that effects on environment have anticipated if mitigation measures are not applied. Effective prevent and reduce impact should therefore part regulation. The role regul...

Grouped and single pile behavior differs owing to the impacts of the pile-to-pile interaction. Ultimate lateral resistance and lateral subgrade modulus within a pile group are known as the key parameters in the soil-pile interaction phenomenon. In this study, a series of experimental investigation was carried out on single and group pile subjected to monotonic lateral loadings. Experimental inv...
