During the past decade, wind power generation has been rapidly developed. As a key
component of feasibility analysis, the cost modelling and economic analysis directly affect …

Wind energy is one of the most sustainable and renewable resources for power generation.
Offshore wind turbines (OWTs) derive significant wind energy compared to onshore …

Previous studies on laterally loaded piles in clay have mainly focused on flexible and rigid
piles. Little attention has been paid to semi-rigid piles (whose pile–soil stiffness lies …

Rapid advances in deep-sea mining engineering have created an urgent need for the
accurate evaluation of the undrained strength of marine soils, especially surface soils …

Large-diameter monopiles are the most commonly used foundation to support offshore wind
turbines. Early designs usually adopted pile diameters (D) between 4 and 6 m, which is …

The monopile-wheel composite foundation is an innovative type of offshore wind turbine
(OWT) foundation with good bearing capacity. The foundation is subjected to cyclic loads …

The traditional monopile foundation is confronted with challenges in the context of the new
generation of offshore wind turbines with greater power capacities. On this basis, the single …

Large-diameter monopiles are the predominant foundation solution for supporting offshore
wind turbines. They are conventionally designed using soil reaction curves developed for …

Seabed scouring can uncover the buried component of wind-turbine monopiles and this
reduces their horizontal bearing capacity. Because rigid piles with large diameters and low …

Scour significantly influences the lateral response of pile foundations; however, there is a
lack of comprehensive understanding regarding the scour effects on the lateral pile-soil …
