Abstract

The monopile foundation is usually subjected to vertical component (V), horizontal component (H) and moment component (M) in the design of offshore wind turbines.The three dimensional finite element numerical analyses were conducted to explore the failure mode of monopile foundation under monotonic loading. The failure modes under monotonic loading were obtained in different components. Soil produces different movement, and overall soil occurs wedge failure on both sides of monopile foundation.
