Abstract The focus of the Offshore Code Comparison Collaboration, Continuation, with Correlation and unCertainity (OC6) project, which operates under International Energy Agency Wind Task 30, is to refine accuracy engineering tools used design offshore wind turbines. In support this work, a new validation campaign being developed that seeks better understand nonlinear wave loading excites floating systems at their low-frequency, rigid-body modes in surge pitch. data will be employed...
Abstract Suction buckets are large shell structures that have become a prominent alternative to pile foundations for bottom-fixed and floating offshore wind turbines. They embedded by applying negative pressure, which leads high risk of structural buckling during the installation. The prediction strength such shells is subject uncertainty, since it depends significantly on initial geometric imperfections resulting from fabrication process. aim this work understand reduce uncertainties in...
Abstract Der vorliegende Aufsatz gibt zunächst einen Überblick über die derzeitige und zukünftige Entwicklung in der Offshore‐Windenergie. Schwerpunkt liegt auf den stählernen Tragstrukturen. Hier dominieren sog. Monopiles. Mit deutlich geringerer Anzahl werden Jacket‐Konstruktionen aus Rohrprofilen angewendet. Durch hohen dynamischen Beanspruchungen gleichzeitig widrigen Umgebungsbedingungen See ergeben sich stahlbauspezifische Fragestellungen für Forschung. Das Institut Stahlbau Leibniz...
Abstract The buckling capacity of suction caissons during installation must be investigated, as these are sensitive to due their thin-walled structure. A geometric material nonlinear analysis with imperfections, in which the soil is modeled using continuum elements, provides most realistic results. Nonetheless, modeling behavior well consideration multiple imperfection shapes associated a high and computational effort. To avoid this, springs often used model soil. However, common approaches...

Abstract Suction Buckets sind etablierte Gründungselemente für Offshore‐Öl‐ und ‐Gasplattformen, die bisher in der Offshore‐Windindustrie nur vereinzelt eingesetzt wurden. Diese Fundamente können zusammen mit Unterstruktur installiert werden, wodurch zusätzliche Offshore‐Operationen wie das Grouting von Transition Pieces oder Jacket‐Beinen vermieden werden. Außerdem werden bei Installation Buckets, im Gegensatz zu Pfahlgründungen, minimale akustische Emissionen erzeugt, sodass...
Recently, suction buckets have become a very prominent foundation for bottom fixed and floating offshore wind turbines. They are embedded with an installation force that stems from water evacuation inside the bucket. This internal negative pressure leads to high risk of structural buckling. The buckling strength is significantly reduced by geometric imperfections. In previous work, equivalent imperfection forms were introduced lower bound was evaluated. However, it has not yet been possible...
Abstract The prediction of the buckling resistance shells is subject to uncertainty since it depends significantly on initial geometric imperfections caused by fabrication process. However, load case vacuum or uniform external pressure has not yet been extensively studied. Stress design approaches implement a reduction factor alpha that accounts for effect imperfections. This assumed be general lower bound but does account different ratios. expected imperfection sensitivities prevail...
