The offshore wind is the sector of marine renewable energy with the highest commercial
development at present. The margin to optimise offshore wind foundations is considerable …

Offshore wind energy is considered as one of the most promising resources of clean and
renewable energy to replace fossil fuels. Additionally, its cost is expected to be lower than …

Rigid piles are common foundations for offshore wind turbines. Scour around piles leads to
the loss of surrounding soil, which seriously threatens the safe operation of offshore wind …

Monopile-supported offshore wind turbines (OWTs) inevitably undergo the coupled effects of
long-term cyclic loads and scour, resulting in cumulative deformation and the migration of …

Hydraulic experiments using physical scale models of monopile scour protections typically
have high experimental uncertainties and data scattering. These uncertainties may severely …

Small scale hydraulic experiments are widely used to model the stability of a scour
protection around an offshore monopile foundation. Knowing the associated scale effects is …

Rapid development of offshore wind foundation models has resulted in a large number of
built structures with generally underestimated foundation stiffness properties and a need to …

Scour around monopiles supporting Offshore Wind Turbines (OWT) may cause a significant
reduction in the foundation capacity and the natural frequencies of the soil–structure system …

The rigid pile with a large diameter and a small slenderness ratio is the most widely used
foundation for offshore wind turbines. Scour around piles seriously threatens the safe …

The impact of cyclic (tidal) flow on scour at cylindrical monopiles in the live-bed regime has
been examined on the basis of results from mobile sand bed flume experiments. Four tests …
