Course Foundations for Offshore Wind Turbines
November 13, 2019 - November 14, 2019
EUR1.250The offshore wind sector is skyrocketing worldwide, with a steady trend towards installations in deeper waters and harsher environments. This course addresses one of the main challenges posed by such a trend: the optimisation of foundation systems.
The course covers geotechnical knowledge relevant to the design of wind turbine foundations, with a focus on large-diameter monopiles. Core contents include soil behaviour and site characterisation, monopile installation and performance during operations (lateral capacity, stiffness, cyclic response, scour protection).
Geotechnical concepts and design approaches are linked to the engineering of wind turbine structures, with an open window on the latest R&D developments. Each day includes practical sessions and offers room for lively interaction between lecturers and attendees.
The training course is in cooperation with PAOTM. For an extensive overview of the course programme, check out our website.
