There is a high demand for life extension of offshore structures in different regions, such as
Gulf of Mexico, North Sea, Malaysian and Australian waters, and etc., that are now reaching …

Wind Energy is the one of the most promising renewable energy. Suction bucket foundation
is considered to be a viable type of wind turbine foundation. Soil liquefaction caused by …

The support structure of an offshore wind turbine (OWT) accounts for up to 25% of the capital
cost; therefore, investigations into reliable and efficient foundations are critical for the …

The suction bucket foundation is turning to be an increasingly prevalent foundation for
offshore wind turbines (OWTs). In this study, a series of centrifuge tests are performed to …

Some large capacity offshore wind turbines are constructed in seismically active areas. The
occurrence of soil liquefaction during an earthquake can result in severe failures of the …

Some offshore wind farms are built in seismically active areas. The offshore wind turbine
(OWTs) are high-rise structures and sensitive to lateral failures during the earthquake. In this …

The hybrid monopile-friction wheel foundation is an innovative alternative for offshore wind
turbines. The concept has wider adaptability and can be used as reinforcement method for …

Existing studies mainly focus on the bearing capacity of monopiles, with less emphasis on
reliability analysis, which is an important aspect of the performance of offshore wind turbine …

The hybrid foundation of combining a friction wheel with a monopile is an innovative solution
for offshore structures subjected to large lateral-moment loading. In this paper, the lateral …
