"p-y + M-θ" model for cyclic laterally loaded rigid piles in sandy seabeds

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao
Within 40-meter water depths, large-diameter monopiles have become the preferred foundation type for offshore wind turbines due to their high efficiency and low cost.

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

open access: yesWind 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 ...

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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Response of short monopiles for offshore wind turbine foundations: virgin and post-cyclic capacity

open access: yes, 2019
Geotechnical centrifuge tests were conducted to examine monotonic behavior of low aspect ratio piles in soft clays. Monopiles with aspect ratio of two were tested in the 150g-ton centrifuge at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

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

open access: yesWind 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.

Concept Design Study of Laterally Loaded Monopiles in Sand

open access: yes, 2020
Single large diameter piles, known as monopiles, are, nowadays, the most common foundation type for offshore wind turbines (OWT). Several research initiatives have been focusing on improving the conventional design practice. The PISA (Pile Soil Analysis)

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

open access: yesIET 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 ...

Design of large-scale tests investigating the lateral load-bearing behavior of monopiles

open access: yes, 2022
7 S.As todays monopiles are regarded to have large diameters and considerably small embedding length to diameter ratios, current design methods are not entirely compatible with the engineering problem and may lead to conservative design.

Model‐Event Joint‐Driven Risk Assessment Method for Wind Turbine Failures in Sandy‐Gobi‐Desert Regions

open access: yesIET Renewable Power Generation, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This study proposes a model–event joint‐driven risk assessment method for wind turbine failures in Sandy‐Gobi‐Desert regions, integrating physical load modelling of wind–sand interactions with event‐based modelling of multi‐process structural degradation.
