3D FEM Analysis on Bearing Capacity Behaviors of the Multi-Piles Foundation for Offshore Wind Turbines

Abstract:

With the fast development of technology, offshore wind power generation is playing a major role for developing renewable sources in the whole world nowadays. According to the proposed Hangzhou Bay wind farm in China, using general-purpose finite element software, bearing capacity behaviors of the multi-piles foundation for offshore wind turbine are simulated in this paper by the 3D finite element method. The Mohr - Coulomb model is adopted as the elastic - plastic constitutive model of the soil and also the Coulomb Friction model as the pile - soil contact model. The bearing capacity behavior of multi-piles foundation for offshore wind turbines under monotonic and combined loading are discussed, also the bearing capacity behaviors by changing diameters, spaces of piles and loading directions as well.
