Offshore wind is a source of clean, renewable energy of great potential value to the power
industry in the context of a low carbon society. Rapid development of offshore wind energy …

Scour of sediments around bridge foundations by the stream is the most significant
contributing factor for bridge failures. The scour failures tend to occur without prior warning …

Comprehensive reference covering the design of foundations for offshore wind turbines As
the demand for “green” energy increases the offshore wind power industry is expanding at a …

This book treats the subject of local scour around different kinds of marine structures,
exposed to waves and/or currents. The first, major part of the book is devoted to marine …

The flow around a vertical circular pile exposed to a steady current is studied numerically
and experimentally. The numerical model is a three-dimensional model. The model …

The mechanisms and behaviour of the scour process is a challenging subject, and one
which is expertly dealt with in this informative, illustrated volume. Specifically, this book …

In this article, current research findings of local scour at offshore windfarm monopile
foundations are presented. The scour mechanisms and scour depth prediction formulas …

In most of the previous studies on local scour around pile foundations, wave-induced pore
pressure response has not been taken into account. The local-scour and pore-pressure …

Rapid expansion of the offshore wind industry has stimulated a renewed interest in the
behaviour of offshore piles. There is widespread acceptance in practice that pile design …

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on scour around a pile subject to
combined waves and current. Irregular waves were used in the experiments, which were …
