Analysis of Gravity Foundation for Offshore Structure under Cyclic Loads

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cyclic characteristic of offshore environmental load may cause the accumulation of foundation settlement and excess pore pressure in the subsoil. This may lead to conditions that jeopardize the structural stability and operability of the wind turbine. This paper discusses the analysis steps of the responses of non-cohesive subsoil under cyclic loads for a gravity base foundation system.
