Influence of vertical loading on behavior of laterally loaded foundation piles: A review (2020)
Journal Article
Li, Q., Prendergast, L., Askarinejad, A., & Gavin, K. (2020). Influence of vertical loading on behavior of laterally loaded foundation piles: A review. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 8(12), 1-18. https://doi.org/10.3390/jmse8121029

The majority of installed offshore wind turbines are supported on large-diameter, open-ended steel pile foundations, known as monopiles. These piles are subjected to vertical and lateral loads while in service. In current design practice, interaction...

Empirical Shaft Resistance of Driven Piles Penetrating Weak Rock (2020)
Journal Article
Barrett, J. W., & Prendergast, L. J. (2020). Empirical Shaft Resistance of Driven Piles Penetrating Weak Rock. Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering, 53(12), 5531-5543. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00603-020-02228-7

In this paper, an empirical relationship between the Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) of intact rock and the unit shaft resistance of piles penetrating rock is investigated. A growing number of civil engineering projects are utilizing steel pile... Read More about Empirical Shaft Resistance of Driven Piles Penetrating Weak Rock.

Factors Influencing the Prediction of Pile Driveability Using CPT-Based Approaches (2020)
Journal Article

Influence of scour depth and type on p–y curves for monopiles in sand under monotonic lateral loading in a geotechnical centrifuge (2020)
Journal Article
Chortis, G., Askarinejad, A., Prendergast, L., Li, Q., & Gavin, K. (2020). Influence of scour depth and type on p–y curves for monopiles in sand under monotonic lateral loading in a geotechnical centrifuge. Ocean Engineering, 197, Article 106838. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.oceaneng.2019.106838

The influence of scour on the lateral response of monopile foundations for offshore wind turbines is investigated in this paper. Application of lateral load-displacement (p-y) curves to predict the lateral pile behaviour is subject to uncertainty as...
