Behaviour of monopile-gravity-shallow bucket hybrid foundation for offshore wind turbine under cyclic load in sandy soil

Key Points

• Hybrid foundations exhibit enhanced stability against cyclic load, crucial for offshore wind applications.
• Cyclic loading tests revealed a significant reduction in displacement, improving long-term performance.
• Influential factors include soil type and loading pattern, both critical for foundation design in marine environments.
• Implications highlight the need for further exploration on hybrid designs in varying soil conditions, ensuring robust installations.
