This paper provides a summary of the PIle Soil Analysis (PISA) project, completed in the UK during the period 2013 to 2018. The research led to the development of a new, computationally efficient, one dimensional design model for laterally loaded monopile foundations, particularly for offshore wind turbine support structures. The current form of the design model is applicable to monotonic loading only, but it could form a basis for extensions to cyclic loading. This short paper describes the background to the project, outlining the key research elements completed, as well as the main impacts that have been achieved. A number of publications describing the research in further detail are highlighted.
Résumé
Ce document fournit un résumé du projet PIle Soil Analysis (PISA), réalisé au Royaume-Uni pendant la période 2013 à 2018. La recherche a conduit au développement d’un nouveau et efficace modèle de calcul monodimensionnel de fondations de type monopieux chargées latéralement, en particulier pour les structures supports d’éoliennes offshore. En l’état actuel, le modèle de calcul n’est applicable que pour les chargements mononotones, mais il pourrait servir de base pour une extension aux chargements cycliques. Ce bref article décrit le contexte du projet, soulignant les éléments clés obtenus lors de la recherche, ainsi que leurs principaux impacts. Plusieurs publications décrivant la recherche en détail sont citées.
