Coffee Corner: Geotechnical Analysis - Assessing Offshore Wind Turbine Responses with PLAXIS Monopile Designer

Offshore wind turbines are highly sensitive to dynamic forces due to their natural frequencies aligning closely with the frequencies generated by wind, waves, and mechanical and aerodynamic loads. This necessitates a foundation design that prioritizes not just strength but stiffness as well.

The Monopile Designer extends beyond basic monopile foundation modeling under lateral loads (H) by enabling the evaluation of the dynamic response of the integrated monopile-superstructure system, encompassing both the tower and turbine.

In this webinar, we will delve into a methodology for computing static responses, natural vibration frequencies and vibration modes for the monopile-tower-nacelle (RNA) system.

Topics covered include:

- Understanding the critical parameters for the monopile, tower, and RNA system.
- Conducting static and modal analyses with a hands-on example.
- Model validation and refinement based on analysis results.
