Influence of soil–structure modelling techniques on offshore wind turbine monopile structural response

open access: yesWind Energy, 2022
The importance of appropriate offshore wind turbine (OWT) monopile structural modelling technique cannot be overstated in the successful design and installation of a new generation of larger and heavier structures to deliver the increasing capacity ...

State‐of‐the‐Art Review of Vibration‐Based Health Monitoring of Piles

open access: yesStructural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Vibration‐based health monitoring (VHM) has emerged as a promising technique for assessing the integrity of deep foundations by interpreting variations in dynamic response governed by soil–pile interaction. This review presents the theoretical background of foundation failure mechanisms, sensing technologies, and numerical approaches that underpin VHM ...

Optimization of monopile offshore wind structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
ABSTRACT: As industrialization is essential for large-scale offshore wind deployment, a computerized methodology to optimize the scantling of monopile steel structures has been developed using a genetic alg rithm. The objective functions of this tool are minimization of the structure weight and production costs.

Modal Identification Method of Offshore Wind Turbine Tower Based on SSI and FSDPC

open access: yesShock and Vibration, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The structural health monitoring of offshore wind turbine towers is critical for ensuring their operational integrity. The condition of the tower structure is characterized by its modal parameters, which serve as effective health indicators. These parameters are identified through modal identification techniques.

A full three‐dimensional model for the estimation of the natural frequencies of an offshore wind turbine in sand

open access: yesWind Energy, 2021
The design of an offshore wind turbine (OWT) founded on a monopile foundation is principally based on dimensioning criteria related to its fundamental frequencies. These frequencies must remain outside the excitation frequencies to avoid resonance.

Divergent Patterns in Wind Power Project Cost Overruns: How Scale Matters and Determinants of Construction Risk

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 28, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT This study analyzes cost overruns in 80 wind power projects, focusing on the impact of configuration types and their interaction effects with other project characteristics. Using multiple regression analyses, including interaction terms and segmented regression, we investigate four key aspects of cost overruns in wind power projects. First, we

Fatigue Damage Characteristics of Offshore Wind Power Large-Diameter Monopile Structures During Driving Process

open access: yes南方能源建设
[Objective] Large-diameter monopile foundations are widely used in marine engineering in China and are typically installed through penetration. Due to the impact of the pile hammer, the pile body experiences continuous impact loads during the driving ...

Dynamic Performance of Advanced Composite Towers in Offshore Wind Farms: Experimental and Numerical Investigation

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 28, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Conventional steel towers face challenges such as insufficient stiffness and structural instability, making them increasingly unsuitable for supporting large multi‐megawatt wind turbines. This study investigates the dynamic performance of concrete‐filled double‐skin steel tubular (CFDST) wind turbine towers as a novel structural member ...

Prediction of the Behaviour of Monopiles Under Drained Two‐Way Cyclic Lateral Loading in Sand

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 49, Issue 16, Page 3696-3712, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The monopile is considered as one of the preferred geotechnical foundations for the offshore wind energy converter; therefore, its cyclic behaviour is one of the major concerns in the design. In the current design approaches, the prediction of two‐way cyclic behaviour mainly depends on empirical equations, in which the specific site conditions
