A New Ocean Rock Mass Rating and Its Application to Determine the Ultimate Bearing Capacity of an Offshore Wind Monopile Foundation
Offshore wind power is a new trend in renewable energy development.However, during the operation of offshore wind turbines, the rock-socketed monopile foundation is subjected to long-term cyclic loads, which will cause the seawater to erode the rock around the monopile foundation and reduce the ultimate end-bearing capacity.There is no suitable roc
