A CPT-based multi-spring model for lateral monopile analysis under SLS conditions in sand (2024)
Journal Article
Tott-Buswell, J., Prendergast, L. J., & Gavin, K. (2024). A CPT-based multi-spring model for lateral monopile analysis under SLS conditions in sand. Ocean Engineering, 293, Article 116642. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.oceaneng.2023.116642

Monopiles are the most common Offshore Wind Turbine (OWT) foundations due to their simplicity in design, fabrication, and installation. However, large new-generation turbines have led to significant changes in monopile dimensions, n...

Seismic response of piles in layered soils: Performance of pseudostatic Winkler models against centrifuge data (2021)
Journal Article
Tott-Buswell, J., Garala, T., Prendergast, L., Madabhushi, S., & Rovithis, E. (2022). Seismic response of piles in layered soils: Performance of pseudostatic Winkler models against centrifuge data. Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, 153, Article 107110. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soildyn.2021.107110

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.

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

ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Part B: Mechanical Engineering, 7(4), Article 040903. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4051418

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.
