Dynamic soil–structure interaction of monopile supported wind turbines in cohesive soil

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of laboratory tests were conducted in which a scaled model wind turbine supported on a monopile in kaolin clay was subjected to between 32,000 and 172,000 cycles of horizontal loading and the changes in natural frequency and damping of the model were monitored.

Design of monopiles for offshore wind turbines in 10 steps

TL;DR: In this paper, a simplified way of carrying out the design of monopiles based on necessary data (i.e. the least amount of data), namely site characteristics (wind speed at reference height, wind turbulence intensity, water depth, wave height and wave period), turbine characteristics (rated power, rated wind speed, rotor diameter, cut-in and cut-out speed, mass of the rotor-nacelle-assembly) and ground profile (soil stiffness variation with depth and soil stiffness at one diameter depth).

Three-dimensional nonlinear study of piles

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of nonlinear soil behavior on the axial and lateral response of piles to monotonic and cyclic loading with a view towards developing simplified, yet realistic models for representing pile-soil-pile interaction effects is examined by means of a three-dimensional finite element elastoplastic model that includes interface elements for representing slippage and pile•soil separation.

Permanent strains of piles in sand due to cyclic lateral loads. technical note

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied the strain superposition concept, proposed for ballast study, to evaluate strain accumulation for laterally loaded piles in sand and showed that the soil properties, types of pile installation, cyclic loading types, pile embedded length, and pile/soil relative stiffness ratio are important factors that influence the pile behavior under mixed lateral loads.
