Evolution of excess pore water pressures around monopiles subjected to moderate seismic loading

Résumé

The sustained growth of the offshore wind sector is leading to the construction of offshore wind farms in highly seismic regions of the world. Hence, a large proportion of the potential sites may be exposed to liquefaction risk. Monopiles are directly affected by this phenomenon given their preference as a support system for offshore wind turbines over other foundation types. This paper includes a comprehensive study of the lateral response of monopiles against the combined action of earthquake induced liquefaction and environmental loading using centrifuge modelling. The experimental setup was designed to compare the amount of excess pore pressure generated within the soil adjacent to the monopile with and without operational wind/wave loading. The results revealed higher accumulation of excess pore pressure in the non-laterally loaded case, and significant differences in the amount of excess pore pressure recorded in the windward and leeward sides of the monopile in the laterally loaded scenario. In addition, the study provides data on the rotation experienced by monopile supported offshore wind turbines in liquefiable soils.
