Abstract

In this research, a series of the non-linear finite element (FE) analyses was conducted to analyze the influence of the contact pressure caused by the offshore wind turbine and motion characteristics on the settlement pattern and seismic demand of the structure. The procedure was validated against a database of well-documented centrifuge test. The FE results suggested that motion, and offshore wind turbine (OWT) characteristics greatly control liquefaction-induced OWT settlement.
