Abstract
The majority of all offshore wind turbines are installed on monopiles, i.e. large diameter stiff piles. During the environmental loading of the wind turbine the monopile is subjected to millions of load cycles which might cause an accumulated rotation of the wind turbine. In this paper the influence of number of load cycles on the accumulated rotation of the monopile is investigated by means of a new 1g mechanical testing rig capable of providing more than 40,000 load cycles. The experimental setup is described and compared with previous small-scale tests and the result from one cyclic load test is evaluated.
