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.

Analytical method for single pile under V-H-M combined loads in sand

Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2017
The large-diameter monopiles of offshore wind turbines are always subjected to multiaxial loads. The design criteria for the vertical and lateral bearing behaviors of piles are designed independently, while lots of tests show that the vertical load has a

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 ...

Scour Protection around Offshore Wind Turbines: Monopiles [PDF]

Scour and Erosion, 2010
The flow processes in a scour protection around a mono-pile in steady current is described in relation to transport of sediment in the scour protection based on physical model tests. Transport of sediment in the scour protection may cause sinking of the scour protection. This may reduce the stability of the mono-pile and change for instance the natural

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 ...

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 ...

Monopile Implementation in Offshore Bridge

International Journal For Multidisciplinary Research
This paper presents an in-depth analysis of the implementation of monopiles in offshore and overwater bridge construction. Monopiles, cylindrical steel structures driven into the seabed or riverbed, have gained prominence as a foundation solution due to their cost-effectiveness, ease of installation, and environmental benefits.
