报告简介：

The presentation will review classical approaches for linear and nonlinear behavior of foundations in offshore wind turbines on mono-piles. The traditional solution of p-y and extension to cyclic loading is briefly presented, and more recent macro-element models for mono-piles are discussed and their performance against field test data are demonstrated. Also addressed is handling of foundation damping which has been found to have a considerable effect on the fatigue lifetime of offshore wind turbines. Integrated soil-structure interaction analyses are discussed and their use in fatigue computations are illustrated.
