Abstract
Monopiles typically installed through impact driving have been widely used as foundations for offshore wind turbines. The installation process can lead to significant changes in soil state. Little has been published regarding the effect of installation-induced soil state on the subsequent lateral response. Accurate prediction of foundation response requires the behaviour of soil-monopile interaction to be well understood. The complementary experimental and numerical investigations provide insights into the effect of installation process on the subsequent response under lateral loading in sand. The research outcome indicates the quantitative change of soil state and its effect on the in-service response.
