Numerical Study on the Lateral Load Response of Offshore Monopile Foundations in Clay: Effect of Slenderness Ratio

Applied Sciences
To meet growing energy demands, offshore wind turbines (OWTs) with higher energy outputs are being developed, presenting increased challenges for their foundation design.

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-Resources
Deploying 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.

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 ...

Integrated marine science and management : wading through the morass [PDF]

, 2014
Many countries worldwide are now considering developing (or at least being required to consider developing) a holistic marine management planning framework which can encompass all the marine users and uses, the players and stakeholders, and the demands ...

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.

Brief communication: Structural monitoring for lifetime extension of offshore wind monopiles: can strain measurements at one level tell us everything? [PDF]

Wind Energy Science, 2017
Operators need accurate knowledge on structural reserves to decide about lifetime extension of offshore wind turbines. Load monitoring enables us to directly compare design loads with real loading histories of the support structure in order to ...

Study of a Method for Drivability of Monopile in Complex Stratified Soil

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
At present, there is no commonly used method for predicting soil resistance to the driving (SRD) of monopiles, because all available methods are developed based on an installed offshore pile with a diameter of 2–3 m. In addition, due to the complexity of
