... in foundation modelling now allow for application of such models in engineering practise and design. One such example is the family of new macro-element models that have been developed in the research project REDWIN to represent the foundation behaviour in dynamic analyses of Offshore Wind Turbines (OWTs...

... of an analytical foundation fixity model. The field measurements described here provide an opportunity for overall verification of the general foundation model behavior developed from these model tests. Other measurement programs have provided useful information on jackup behavior (References 1,5,6,12...

...) soil springs respectively. An attempt was made to obtain a simple foundation model of individual piles in a group for a Northern North Sea structure using y-Modifiers and Z-Modifiers applied to each pile. It was found that no simple relationship linking load and modifier could be developed...

.... In the case of seismic analyses, the free-field motions are directly applied to the free ends of the springs and dash pots, eliminating the need for explicit representation of the free-field in the analytical model. The foundation model used is two-dimensional but it is shown that three-dimensional effects...
