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 ...

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

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Centrifuge modelling of offshore monopile foundation [PDF]
, 2010 Today one of the most used concepts for wind turbine foundation is the monopile. The foundation concepts for these monopiles on deeper water is uncertain and consequently the design needs to be conservative leading to uneconomic designs. This paper describes a total number of 6 static and 5 cyclic centrifuge tests on a laterally loaded monopile in dry ...

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 ...
