South America is a region that stands out worldwide for its biodiversity of ecosystems,
cultural heritage, and potential considering natural resources linked to renewable energies …

The safe and stable operation of monopile offshore wind turbines (MOWTs) under seismic
and environmental loading is a major challenge facing designers. A numerical method was …

Serviceability criteria for offshore monopiles include the estimation of long-term, permanent
tilt under repeated operational loads. In the lack of well-established analysis methods …

A parametric study on the long-term deformations of monopile foundations for offshore wind
turbines is presented. The finite element calculations of a monopile in fine sand were …

ABSTRACT Operations and Maintenance (O&M) constitute the longest phase in the lifetime
of an offshore windfarm. Because of this, the expenditures during this period are a large part …

This work presents a critical state plasticity model for predicting the response of sands to
cyclic loading. The well-known bounding surface SANISAND framework by Dafalias and …

The analysis of cyclically loaded piles is acquiring ever greater relevance in the field of
geotechnical engineering, most recently in relation to the design of offshore monopiles. In …

With the offshore wind industry rapidly expanding worldwide, geotechnical research is being
devoted to foundation optimisation–most intensively for large-diameter monopiles. The …

Optimised design is essential to reduce the cost of monopiles for offshore wind turbines. For
this purpose, an in-depth understanding of the behaviour of monopile–soil interaction is …

Centrifuge modelling is an effective tool to assess the response of reduced-scale structures
subjected to earthquakes under increased gravity. Space limitations, however, force the …
