Thesis
Development and calibration of cyclic loading models for monopile foundations in clays
- Abstract:
-
Monopiles are currently the most common foundation for offshore wind turbines. Recent research, such as in the PISA project, have produced new design methods for calculating the ultimate monotonic capacity of monopiles under lateral loading, leading to more efficient designs. However, monopiles are also subject to cyclic lateral loading from wind and waves. This aspect is not yet properly understood or accounted for in design. Better understanding of the cyclic response is important for both ...
