Model Test and Numerical Simulation of Grouted Connections for Offshore Wind Turbine Under Static Axial Load

The bearing capacity of the grouted connections is investigated through the model test and numerical simulation with two rates (low and high) and four kinds of specimens: shorter without shear keys, shorter with shear keys, longer with shear keys, and conical with shear keys. It reveals that the bea...
