Journal Article
Prendergast, L., & Gavin, K. (2016). A comparison of initial stiffness formulations for small-strain soil–pile dynamic Winkler modelling. Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 81, 27-41. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soildyn.2015.11.006

Dynamic Soil-Structure Interaction (DSSI) is an area of much ongoing research and has wide and varied applications from seismic response analysis to offshore wind foundation response. DSSI covers a wide range of load regimes from small-strain vibrati... Read More about A comparison of initial stiffness formulations for small-strain soil–pile dynamic Winkler modelling.

An investigation into the effect of scour on the natural frequency of an offshore wind turbine (2015)
Journal Article
Prendergast, L., Gavin, K., & Doherty, P. (2015). An investigation into the effect of scour on the natural frequency of an offshore wind turbine. Ocean Engineering, 101, (1-11). doi:10.1016/j.oceaneng.2015.04.017. ISSN 0029-8018

Rapid expansion of the offshore wind industry has stimulated a renewed interest in the behaviour of offshore piles. There is widespread acceptance in practice that pile design methods developed for the offshore oil and gas industry may not be appropr...
