Combination of kinematic and inertial loads acting on monopile foundations for offshore wind turbines

This abstract has open access
Abstract Summary
Due to a growing number of offshore wind farm projects in seismic areas, existing design procedures for slender piles under earthquake loading need to be revised to allow for the design of larger and stockier monopiles. This study illustrates how advanced finite element analyses can be used to investigate the phase difference between kinematic and inertial loads acting on monopile foundations in deep deposits subjected to seismic excitation.
