Seismic response of piles in layered soils: Performance of pseudostatic Winkler models against centrifuge data (2021)
Journal Article

In this study, the suitability of the pseudostatic approach for the seismic analysis of pile foundations in layered soils is explored by means of experimental data from centrifuge tests performed at 60g. A free-head single pile and a capped (1 × 3) p... Read More about Seismic response of piles in layered soils: Performance of pseudostatic Winkler models against centrifuge data.

Experimental and numerical investigation of the effect of vertical loading on the lateral behaviour of monopiles in sand (2021)
Journal Article

The influence of combined loading on the response of monopiles used to support offshore wind turbines (OWTs) is investigated in this paper. In current practice, resistance of monopiles to vertical and lateral loading is considered separately. As OWT...

Impact of Geotechnical Uncertainty on the Preliminary Design of Monopiles Supporting Offshore Wind Turbines (2021)
Journal Article

The growing demand for clean renewable energy sources and the lack of suitable nearshore sites are moving the offshore wind industry toward developing larger wind turbines in deeper water locations further offshore. This is adding significant uncerta... Read More about Impact of Geotechnical Uncertainty on the Preliminary Design of Monopiles Supporting Offshore Wind Turbines.

Wavelet-based operating deflection shapes for locating scour-related stiffness losses in multi-span bridges (2021)
Journal Article

Scour erosion poses a significant risk to bridge safety worldwide and affects the stiffness of the soil-foundation system, resulting in global changes in the dynamic behavior of the bridges. In this paper, a new approach to detect scour at multiple l... Read More about Wavelet-based operating deflection shapes for locating scour-related stiffness losses in multi-span bridges.
