While monopiles have proven to be an economically sound foundation solution for wind
turbines, especially in relatively shallow water, their installation in deeper water and in hard …

Offshore foundation systems are constantly evolving to meet the needs of new
developments in the energy sector. These challenges may be created by the requirements …

Foundations for offshore wind turbines are subjected to horizontal loads and moments due
to wind and waves, in addition to vertical self-weight. This study proposes an alternative …

The monopile has proven to be the preferred foundation solution for offshore wind turbines
in shallow water and this is mainly due to its simplicity of design, fabrication and installation …

In the case of laterally loaded offshore piles, the addition of a circular bearing plate to the
monopile at mudline, known as the hybrid monopile-foogting foundation system, has been …

Abstract [Truncated] As demand for renewable energy sources increases, foundation
systems that are capable of withstanding higher load capacities are required to generate …

The paper presents the results from a series of centrifuge tests which examine the benefits of
employing a footing together with a 'standard'monopile as a foundation solution for an …

The monopile foundation is the dominating support structure type for offshore wind farms in
construction today. It is anticipated that also in future wind farms the monopile will remain a …

This paper presents the results from a series of centrifuge tests and three-dimensional finite-
element (FE) analyses, which examined the benefits of combining a footing with a monopile …

The development of offshore wind turbines has been in rapid growth since the construction
of the first offshore wind farm in 1991 at Vindeby, Denmark. Developing from 11 turbines at a …
