Large Deformation Pile‐soil Interaction Under Lateral Vehicle Impact Using Hybrid SPH+FEM and EFG+FEM Models

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 2648-2669, 10 April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents large deformation computational methods to simulate lateral vehicular impacts on steel piles in granular soil. Soil‐mounted longitudinal barrier systems rely on energy dissipation in both the piles and the surrounding soil to safely redirect errant vehicles, so dynamic pile‐soil interaction is important for design ...

Lateral Ultimate Capacity of Monopile Foundations for Offshore Wind Turbines: Effects of Monopile Geometry and Soil Stiffness Properties

Applied Sciences, 2023
Offshore Wind Turbines (OWT) with increasingly higher energy output are being developed to meet energy demands, posing greater challenges for their foundation design. Several foundation types are used to support these turbines, with monopiles (MPs) accounting for 80% of the installed capacity.

Form and load transfer aspects of foundation systems: Case‐based implementation and adaptation for buildings

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 176-192, March 2026.
Upon conceptualization of structural behavior, foundations in terms of their form are divided into linear (1D), planar (2D), and volumetric (3D). Regarding the load transfer mechanisms, linear foundation systems are considered vector‐acting, planar foundations are divided into section and surface‐acting, and volumetric ones are recognized as block ...

Decentralized Wind Energy Systems as Catalysts for Urban Resilience: A Design Framework

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 682-700, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Confronting the escalating extreme weather events (EWEs) and intensifying winds, this study proposes an active response to these issues by exploring decentralized wind energy production for Peng Chau Island, Hong Kong. It integrates theoretical perspectives on energy democracy—empowering local communities through energy autonomy—and urban ...

Bearing Capacity of Tension Steel Piles in Thinly Inter‐Layered Soils: Numerical Class‐A Prediction vs. Field Measurements

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 1430-1450, 25 February 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the bearing capacity of tension piles and pile‐soil interaction during loading. Discrepancies between predicted and measured bearing capacities in previous tests motivated the study, where analytical methods showed considerable scatter and uncertainties in design.

Study on the combined effects of offshore wind turbine rocking and wave action on transient seabed response near monopile

Applied Ocean Research
Offshore wind turbines are frequently subjected to various forms of dynamic cyclic loading throughout their service life, often resulting in pronounced rocking responses of the monopile foundation.

Idealized Offshore Low‐Level Jets for Turbine Structural Impact Considerations

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Low‐level jets (LLJs) describe conditions in which the wind speed reaches a local maximum with respect to altitude near the surface; they have been observed intermittently in the US mid‐Atlantic offshore environment. LLJs pose unique operating conditions for future wind turbines operating in the region, such as negative shear and locally ...

A Subgrid‐Scale Parameterization of Wave‐Structure Interactions for Spectral Wave Models: Idealized Simulations in Offshore Wind Farm Conditions

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Extensive offshore renewable energy installations have raised concerns about their environmental impacts. These concerns highlight the need for high fidelity modeling of conditions within wind‐farm regions, where wave–structure interactions through reflection, diffraction, and dissipation reshape local and regional wave dynamics, thereby ...

A Quality‐Driven Framework for Local Fatigue‐Strength Assessment of Wind–Energy Structures Considering Size Effects

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Reliability, safety, and the lifetime of wind energy systems are mainly driven by the quality of each single component. Especially, large structures made of cast material or welded structures, such as the nacelle, the machine carrier, or the tower, are subjected to cyclic loading.

A Comprehensive Review of Potential Locations, Foundation Design, and Seismic Considerations for Installation of Offshore Wind Farms in Türkiye

IET Renewable Power Generation, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
Offshore wind power offers a promising solution to Türkiye's energy and climate challenges, with its extensive coastline and strategic location providing significant potential for development between 2035 and 2053. While no OWTs are currently installed, designated development zones in the Sea of Marmara mark the initial steps toward increasing ...
