Abstract
AbstractRecently, nearshore wind farms along the coast of Vietnam have been designed and constructed increasingly. Different from the job onshore, construction of nearshore wind turbine (WT) foundations exposes to have many difficulties. This paper first presents some key points on selection of foundation types, design codes and geotechnical design for nearshore WT foundations. Some experiences of APECO in design of the foundations are highlighted, especially for elevated pile cap on PHC piles. Finally, key points on design and construction of nearshore WT foundations at a wind farm in Southern Vietnam under construction by FECON are introduced and discussed.KeywordsWind turbine foundationsNearshoreElevated pile capPHC piles
