The monopile is the most common form of foundation employed in offshore wind turbines. These foundations are subjected to millions of repeated load cycles, owing to wind and …
Laboratory model tests were conducted on an aluminum model pile embedded on a crest of soft clay. The slope angle and L/D ratio (L= embedded length, D= diameter of pile) were …

Pile foundations may experience torsional loads induced by eccentric horizontal loads arising from wind, wave or ship collisions in offshore environment, in addition to axial …
This paper presents the results of 1 g model tests performed on instrumented model foundations, ie, unpiled raft, single piled raft, single disconnected piled raft (DPR) and 3× 3 …
The offshore wind energy sector faces new challenges as it moves into deeper water deployment. To meet these challenges, new and efficient foundation solutions are required …
