Numerical Simulation of Vacuum Preloading for Reinforcing Soil inside Composite Bucket Foundation for Offshore Wind Turbines

The composite bucket foundation (CBF) with seven honeycomb subdivisions is a new foundation for offshore wind turbine structures. The bearing capacity of CBF can be improved by consolidation of soil inside the CBF, which is caused by the vacuum preloading method after installation. A three-dimension...
