Study on Load-Bearing Characteristics of a New Pile Group Foundation for an Offshore Wind Turbine

Because offshore wind turbines are high-rise structures, they transfer large horizontal loads and moments to their foundations. One of the keys to designing a foundation is determining the sensitivities and laws affecting its load-bearing capacity. In this study, this procedure was carried out for a...
