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).

Recent advances in offshore geotechnics for deep water oil and gas developments
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of recent developments in geotechnical analysis and design associated with oil and gas developments in deep water is presented, including: new equipment and techniques to characterise the seabed; yield function approaches to evaluate the capacity of shallow skirted foundations; novel anchoring systems for moored floating facilities; pipeline and steel catenary riser interaction with the seafloor; and submarine slides and their impact on infrastructure.

Calibration of Failure Criteria for Bucket Foundations on Drained Sand under General Loading
TL;DR: In this article, an expression to describe the combined capacity of bucket foundations was developed by calibrating the failure criteria for bucket foundations, and the experimental results were used to evaluate the behavior of the bucket foundations in accordance with the macromodel approach.

Numerical modelling of a hybrid skirted foundation under combined loading
Britta Bienen,Christophe Gaudin,Mark Cassidy,Ludger Rausch,Okky Ahmad Purwana,Henry Krisdani +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the soil failure mechanisms and resulting foundation capacity under undrained VHM loading of a hybrid foundation concept, which consists of a skirted mat combined with an internal caisson compartment.

Geotechnical aspects of offshore wind turbine dynamics from 3D non-linear soil-structure simulations
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed 3D finite element (FE) model of an 8 MW offshore wind turbine is analyzed by accounting for dynamic soil-monopile interaction in presence of pore pressure effects.
