Abstract EN
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 new high-rise cap pile group foundation adapted to the loading characteristics of offshore wind turbines.
The sensitivities of influential factors affecting the bearing properties were determined using an orthogonal test.
Through a combination of numerical simulations and model tests, the effects of the inclination angle, length, diameter, and number of side piles on the vertical bearing capacity, horizontal bearing capacity, and bending bearing capacity were determined.
The results indicate that an increase in the inclination angle of the side piles will increase the vertical bearing capacity, horizontal bearing capacity, and bending bearing capacity.
An increase in the length of the side piles will increase the vertical bearing capacity and bending bearing capacity.
When the length of the side piles is close to the central pile, the increase is more apparent.
Finally, increasing the number of piles will increase the horizontal bearing capacity; however, the growth rate is small because of the pile group effect.
