Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Monopiles are commonly used in the construction of offshore wind turbines. However, implementing drive-drill-drive construction techniques in decomposed granite seabed may lead to borehole instability during the window period between drilling and pile ...

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.This study presents a failure‐oriented analysis of corrosion in marine infrastructure, linking degradation mechanisms to crack initiation, fatigue propagation, and structural failure. A unified framework is proposed to connect environmental exposure, material degradation, and reliability, supporting failure prediction, inspection planning, and life ...

A 3-D modelling of monopile behaviour under laterally applied loading
Geomechanics and Geophysics for Geo-Energy and Geo-ResourcesDeploying higher-capacity offshore wind turbines to meet the growing energy demand poses a significant challenge in designing their foundations. Monopiles currently constitute 80% of the foundation installations for these turbines.

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.Abstract The thousands of oil and gas (OG) platforms placed at sea for fossil fuel extraction have introduced new hard substrate to the marine environment. Over time, these structures can become colonized by a diversity of marine life, fostering novel ecosystems.

Rate effects for monopile foundations
, 2022 Monopile pile foundations are the most commonly used support system for offshore wind turbines in Europe. These foundations are subject to lateral loading, which is cyclic in nature, with the loading rate and load eccentricity varying with time. Under extreme conditions, such as the emergency stop of the turbine, yawing or ship impact, transient ...

Scour‐Conditioned Seismic Fragility Analysis of Monopile‐Supported Offshore Wind Turbines
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 947-967, 10 April 2026.ABSTRACT Monopile‐supported offshore wind turbines (MS‐OWTs) are increasingly deployed in seismic coastal regions, where they face compound risks from earthquake loading and seabed scour. While past studies have addressed these hazards separately, seismic fragility under evolving scour conditions remains insufficiently understood. This study introduces

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 With the rapid increase in offshore wind turbines in China, monopiles with diameters exceeding 2 m are widely used. As these piles are subjected to lateral loads caused by wind, waves, and currents, the designs of the pile foundations supporting the ...

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 ...
