Abstract Large diameter, short monopiles are the preferred foundation type for offshore wind turbines. These piles demonstrate a rigid response with significant rotation of pile base under ultimate lateral load. As traditional empirical p - y curves used in loaded analysis have been derived from tests on small diameter onshore piles, there is some doubt about their applicability to monopiles, p...

Pile base resistance is an important part of the ultimate bearing capacity, and soil within a certain range above below pile end contributes to resistance. In general, calculated according average value strength in current calculating method, so it very determine influence Based on parameters results cone penetration test LiuHua 11-1 site South China Sea, difference by different methods, regula...
