Abstract

In the paper the experimental results of small-scale tests on a stiff monopile are presented to outline the change in stiffness during the cyclic loading and the change in the ultimate pile capacity. The results confirm the increase of stiffness and the increase in bearing capacity resulting from cyclic loading. Performed analysis provides a better understanding of the problem and reveals some correlations that can be useful in the future design of stiff monopiles.
