Offshore structures are subject to cyclic effects from wind and waves, as well as altered seabed. Local and global scour can form around the foundation elements, which in turn can affect the structures’ response in terms ...

Regarding offshore constructions, there is still a lack in knowledge of scour progression for complex structures like foundations for offshore wind energy converters at present, which is however necessary for its dimensioning. ...

This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the scour development of a hydraulic-transparent offshore foundation exposed to combined waves and current. Irregular waves propagating perpendicular to a current ...

Tsunamis continue to pose an existential threat to life and infrastructure in many coastal areas around the world. One of the risks associated with tsunamis is the formation of deep scour holes around critical infrastructure ...

The expansion of the offshore wind energy sector is important for the fulfilment of renewable energy targets. An accelerated growth of the worldwide offshore wind capacity will be required to meet the target of a climate ...
