Abstract:The tripod-bucket foundation has been proposed as an alternative foundation type for floating and fixed wind turbines. Its combined bearing capacities are necessary for describing the ultimate load combinations of the foundation. In this paper, three-dimensional finite element models of tripod-bucket foundations are constructed based on the structure-soil-interaction. Considering the foundation being used for floating and fixed wind turbines, the vertical upward and downward load conditions are involved and th… Show more
