Monopiles used as foundations for offshore wind turbines can be installed using different methods including jacking, vibratory driving and impact driving. Significant research efforts have been dedicated to the characterisation of monopile−soil interaction under lateral loading, mainly p–y curves. There has also extensive in quantifying effect installation on axial response numerical modelling ...

Rigid monopiles with small slenderness ratios (i.e., ratio of monopile embedded length to outer diameter) are widely used as foundations resist lateral load and moment transferred from superstructures, e.g., large diameter steel pipes by offshore wind turbines piers in electric utility industry or sound barriers. A design model for laterally loaded rigid cohesive soil is presented this paper. T...

Today, an important challenge for offshore wind energy is to design efficient and reliable turbines (OWTs). The overall damping of OWTs plays role in the process as it limits amplitude OWT dynamic response at frequencies near resonance. Therefore, accurate estimation necessary these systems. foundation one main sources turbine least well understood. This paper presents a critical review recentl...

The taller and heavier OWT monopile structures has unique structural engineering design challenges which could lead to catastrophic under-conservative designs or more likely, expensive over-conservative engineering. need for an efficient cannot be overemphasised given the current configurations future monopiles novel concepts due cost of materials increasing towers foundations diameter thicknes...
