What is Hearn and Edgers about?
The document presents a finite element analysis (FEA) of large diameter monopile foundations for offshore wind turbines, focusing on their response to lateral loads in dense sandy soils. It compares the p-y method, commonly used for analyzing pile-soil interactions, with FEA results, revealing that the API-recommended p-y curves may overestimate soil resistance and underestimate pile deflection for large diameters. The findings suggest the need for improved p-y curves based on FEA to enhance the accuracy of
