Offshore wind turbine foundations – analysis and design
Abstract
Foundations for offshore wind farms involve significant technical challenges, including design requirements to withstand the harsh marine environment, prolonged impact under large wave loading and wind turbulence. These foundations are subjected to a combination of axial loads, low-amplitude cyclic lateral loads, bending and torsional moments generated by the offshore wind turbine (OWT) structure and various environmental factors. Monopiles are the most widely adopted foundation choice for OWT structures worldwide, in terms of ease of installation, economy ...
