ISFOG 2020 Webinar: New Integrated Design Models for Offshore Wind Turbine Foundations

New Integrated Design Models for Offshore Wind Turbine Foundations (REDWIN Joint Industry Project)
Organized by Ana Page, Head of Section - Advanced Modelling, Norwegian Geotechnical Institute, Oslo
Recent improvements have been achieved in the methods and tools used in the design of offshore wind turbines (OWT) foundations through the projects REDWIN and REDWIN 2.
The REDWIN project (2015-2018) improved the modelling of the foundation response in integrated dynamic time-domain analyses of OWT by developing simple macro-element models for typical OWT foundations. These models exhibit characteristic foundation behaviour such as nonlinearity, coupled response from different load components and hysteretic load-dependent damping. They have been so far implemented in more than seven integrated analyses tools employed in the design of OWTs.
The REDWIN 2 project (2019-2022) focused on advancing and merging foundation engineering tools and methods, enabling foundation designers to apply recent research and development results in design practice. It has developed a streamlined design process and a foundation optimization routine incorporating all geotechnical and structural design limit states.
This workshop will present the main outcomes of these two projects, highlighting some of the limitations and suggesting possible directions for future improvements.

The reference to J Mascis in the beginning. 🤩
