Abstract:In offshore technology, especially in offshore wind energy converters, permanent deformations of the structures must be limited. For that purpose, the accumulation of permanent deformation due to cyclic loading must be predicted as accurately as possible. To account for this accumulation in non-cohesive soils, different approaches such as semi-empirical methods, p-y curve methods and numerical methods are available. Among the numerical approaches, the Stiffness Degradation Method (SDM) has the advantage of pra… Show more
