Input of advanced geotechnical modelling to the design of offshore wind turbine foundations (Apport de la modélisation géotechnique avancée au dimensionnement de fondations d’éoliennes offshore)

The offshore wind sector is skyrocketing worldwide, with a clear trend towards wind farms installed in increasingly deep waters and harsh marine environments. This is posing significant engineering challenges, including those regarding the design of support structures and foundations for offshore wind turbines (OWTs). Substantial research...
