dc.description.abstract | Society’s transition to low-carbon energy sources has resulted in significant expansion in offshore wind tech-
nology. Most offshore wind turbines (OWTs) are founded on large-diameter steel tubular piles driven into the
seabed, termed monopiles. OWTs are subjected to large numbers of dynamic and cyclic environmental loads
during their lifetime. To avoid fatigue or resonance issues, accurate characterisation of soil-structure interaction
under operating and extreme conditions is paramount. There is a need to further improve understanding of the
dynamic lateral response of piles after large lateral load cycling (storm events). This paper presents the results of
lateral load field tests on piles with two different slenderness ratios, where the natural frequency was measured
after a series of applied lateral load-unload events. 1D numerical models of the piles were developed and several
operating parameters were varied to identify the parameters of importance in the nonlinear soil-pile interaction.
Approaches to estimate the operating soil shear modulus both in-situ and post load-unload were trialled, and five
subgrade reaction models were used to couple soil and pile properties, to ascertain the performance at predicting
the measured frequencies from the experiments. Results suggest that predicted frequencies are highly sensitive to
choice of model and degradation method used. | en |
