Li, Q. (author), Askarinejad, A. (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author)The majority of offshore wind structures are supported on large-diameter, rigid monopile foundations. These piles may be subjected to scour due to the waves and currents that causes a loss of soil support and consequently decreases the pile capacity and system stiffness. The results of numerical models suggest that the shape of the scour hole...journal article 2021

Chortis, G. (author), Askarinejad, A. (author), Prendergast, L.J. (author), Li, Q. (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author)The influence of scour on the lateral response of monopile foundations for offshore wind turbines is investigated in this paper. Application of lateral load-displacement (p-y) curves to predict the lateral pile behaviour is subject to uncertainty as many of the presently used design approaches have been derived for long, slender piles. These...journal article 2020
