Abstract

This work aims to investigate the change in static capacity of monopiles due to cyclic lateral loading. Results from small-scale tests on a monopile model in dense saturated sand are presented. Three series of tests were carried out to study the response of the monopile to different cyclic lateral loading conditions. A formulation to predict the change in static capacity is proposed and applied to confirm the tests results.
