• Alternative Numerical Pile Foundation Models for Integrated Analyses of Monopile-based Offshore Wind Turbines 

      Page, Ana M.; Schafhirt, Sebastian; Eiksund, Gudmund Reidar; Skau, Kristoffer Skjolden; Jostad, Hans Petter; Sturm, Hendrik (Chapter, 2016)
      Lowering the cost for offshore wind energy remains a major challenge. Increasing the accuracy of analysis tools used in the design and optimization process can strengthen the reliability and reduce conservatism, thereby ...
    • Behaviour of piles in clay subjected to cyclic lateral loading 

      Støren, Andrea Strand (Master thesis, 2018)
      In order to make offshore wind turbines more cost-efficient and competitive in international energy markets, design methods must be improved to reduce uncertainties in load and soil modelling. The current method of modelling ...
    • Modelling of soil-structure-interaction for flexible caissons for offshore wind turbines 

      Skau, Kristoffer Skjolden; Jostad, Hans Petter; Eiksund, Gudmund Reidar; Sturm, Hendrik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Published foundation models and procedures for calculation of caisson foundation response typically assume a rigid caisson in deformable soil. However, recent published measurement data from a prototype suction bucket ...
    • REDWIN – REDucing cost in offshore WINd by integrated structural and geotechnical design 

      Skau, Kristoffer Skjolden; Page, Ana M.; Kaynia, Amir M.; Løvholt, Finn; Norén-Cosgriff, Karin; Sturm, Hendrik; Andersen, H.S.; Nygaard, Tor Anders; Jostad, Hans Petter; Eiksund, Gudmund Reidar; Havmøller, O.; Strøm, P.; Eichler, D. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      The cost of offshore wind energy production has to be reduced continuously to improve its competitiveness compared to other energy sources. To contribute to this goal, a 4- year research project REDWIN – REDucing cost of ...
