Offshore wind turbines in shallow coastal waters are typically supported on monopile
foundations. Although three-dimensional (3D) finite-element methods are available for the …

This paper provides a summary of the PIle Soil Analysis (PISA) project, completed in the UK
during the period 2013 to 2018. The research led to the development of a new …

This paper describes a one-dimensional (1D) computational model for the analysis and
design of laterally loaded monopile foundations for offshore wind turbine applications. The …

Prediction is one of the core activities in geotechnical engineering. Because of our limited
knowledge of ground conditions and the imperfection of predictive models, the resulting …

Large-diameter monopiles are the most commonly used foundation to support offshore wind
turbines. Early designs usually adopted pile diameters (D) between 4 and 6 m, which is …

This research comprises an in-depth review of monopile foundations for offshore wind
turbines under monotonic and cyclic loads. The review study was complemented with …

The results obtained from a field testing campaign on laterally loaded monopiles, conducted
at a dense sand site in Dunkirk, northern France are described. These tests formed part of …

Serviceability criteria for offshore monopiles include the estimation of long-term, permanent
tilt under repeated operational loads. In the lack of well-established analysis methods …

The PISA project was a combined field testing/numerical modelling study with the aim of
developing improved design procedures for large-diameter piles subjected to lateral …

Large diameter, short monopiles are the preferred foundation type for offshore wind turbines.
These piles demonstrate a rigid response with significant rotation of the pile base under …
