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 …

Soil behavior is complex and thus requires quantification by a reasonably good number of
different engineering parameters. Consequently, the seismic piezocone test (SCPTu) is …

The formulations for the lateral load–displacement (p–y) springs conventionally used for the
analysis of laterally loaded piles have been based largely on the back-analysis of the …

Monopiles are the most common Offshore Wind Turbine (OWT) foundations due to their
simplicity in design, fabrication, and installation. However, large new-generation turbines …

This paper presents the results of compression and tension load tests performed on a single
helical pile installed in dense sand. The pile was instrumented using strain gauges that …

Foundations for offshore wind farms involve significant technical challenges, including
design requirements to withstand the harsh marine environment, prolonged impact under …

In recent years, fibre Bragg grating (FBG) sensors have emerged as a relatively new strain
sensing technology for civil engineering applications. This paper presents a field trial to …

Open-ended steel pipe piles are used to support jacket structures in the offshore wind
sector. These piles experience significant tensile axial loading in-service and the tensile …

Pile foundations are often subjected to lateral loadings. By adding steel plates (fins) to the
side of the pile, steel fin pile foundations (SFPFs) can improve the lateral load capacity of …

This paper investigates the influences that steel type, in situ soil properties, water table
depth, pile diameter, roughness and driving procedures have on the ageing behaviour of …
