PISA design model for monopiles for offshore wind turbines: Application to a stiff glacial clay tillByrne, Byron W. (author), Houlsby, Guy T. (author), Burd, Harvey J. (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Igoe, David J.P. (author), Jardine, Richard J. (author), Martin, Christopher M. (author), McAdam, Ross A. (author), Potts, David M. (author)Offshore wind turbines in shallow coastal waters are typically supported on monopile foundations. Although three-dimensional (3D) finite-element methods are available for the design of monopiles in this context, much of the routine design work is currently conducted using simplified one-dimensional (1D) models based on the p-y method. The p-y...journal article 2020

Taborda, David M.G. (author), Zdravkovic, Lidija (author), Potts, David M. (author), Burd, Harvey J. (author), Byrne, Byron W. (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Houlsby, Guy T. (author), Jardine, Richard J. (author), Liu, Tingfa (author)The paper presents the development of a three-dimensional finite-element model for pile tests in dense Dunkirk sand, conducted as part of the PISA project. The project was aimed at developing improved design methods for laterally loaded piles, as used in offshore wind turbine foundations. The importance of the consistent and integrated...journal article 2020
