Description : Offshore Wind Turbine Foundations: Advanced Geotechnical Engineering Approaches offers an in-depth exploration of the complex challenges and potential solutions arising in the design and maintenance of offshore wind installations, covering the whole range of OWT foundation types, including gravity-based and deep foundations, suction caissons, and anchors for floating turbines, with special emphasis given to monopiles, as the most common type of foundation at present. Key aspects addressed include current design practices and standards, characterization of soils, sea depth, soil types, and loads, soil-structure interaction, long-term behavior of offshore wind turbines, decommissioning, recycling, and reuse of offshore wind turbine foundations, and future trends.
