The design of monopile foundations for offshore wind turbine structures is dominated by requirements resulting from serviceability and fatigue limit state. To fulfil these criteria, the load deflection-behaviour and therefore ...

In particular during storm events, a build-up of excess pore pressures may occur in the soil around cyclically loaded offshore foundations. Such accumulated excess pore pressure reduces the effective stresses in the soil ...

During their service life, monopiles supporting offshore wind turbines are subjected to a large number of lateral cyclic loads resulting from complex environmental conditions such as wind and waves varying in amplitude, ...

Self-compacting filling material or controlled low-strength material (CLSM) is a cementitious material which is liquid during filling, and it is used primarily as backfill, e.g., in trenches. Several products are currently ...

Within the design process of district heating networks, the maximum friction forces between the pipeline and the surrounding soil are calculated from the radial stress state and the coefficient of contact friction. For the ...
