Cyclic behaviour of laterally loaded (mono)piles in sand: With emphasis on pile driving effects

At the end of 2019, the European Union (EU) put forward the European Green Deal to facilitate the technological progress necessary to achieve CO2-neutrality by 2050. Such a monumental achievement would require massive investments in infrastructure for the harvesting, storage and the transnational transportation of green energy. To date, the more...

Centrifuge modelling of monopiles in dense sand at The Technical University of Denmark

The pile-soil interaction is of great importance in the design of monopiles supporting offshore wind turbines. Especially the predication of accumulation of rotations, change in stiffness and damping is difficult. The design tools used today cannot in a proper way take the effects from cyclic, lateral loading into account. In order to develop...
