The safe and stable operation of monopile offshore wind turbines (MOWTs) under seismic
and environmental loading is a major challenge facing designers. A numerical method was …

Tunnels are a vital component of urban infrastructure that must be robust against seismic
hazards. Given the randomness of earthquake occurrence, the seismic response of tunnel …

As revealed by the collapse of the Daikai Metro station during the 1995 Kobe earthquake,
underground structures are not immune to seismic loading. Shanghai Metro operates 16 …

Tripod pile foundation is pursued as an efficient foundation system for offshore wind turbines
(OWTs) installed in deeper waters (20–50m). In this application, the foundations would be …

A systematic study was performed in laboratory model tests to assess the response of
cement-improved reinforced monopiles to lateral monotonic and cyclic loading in clay. The …

A hybrid foundation for offshore wind turbines (OWT) is studied, combining a monopile of
diameter d and length L with a lightweight circular footing of diameter D. The footing is …

Tripod suction buckets offer many advantages as foundations for offshore wind turbines
including fast and economic installation and high overturning resistance. In this application …

Various hybrid systems combined with several foundation elements have been proposed to
improve the lateral performance of monopiles. Among them, the hybrid monopile-bucket …

A systematic study into the response of monopiles to lateral cyclic loading in medium dense
and dense sand was performed in beam and drum centrifuge tests. The centrifuge tests …

The paper revisits the notorious collapse of 18 spans of the elevated Route No. 3 of Hanshin
Expressway during the 1995 Kobe earthquake. The overturned deck was monolithically …
