EFFECT OF SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION IN MARINE MONOPILE UNDER COMBINED WAVE, CURRENT AND IMPACT LOADING

Increasing demand for clean and renewable energy sources opened the new areas of investigation all around the world. Among the various available methods, absorbing energy from the seawinds is one of the less expensive and most accessible one. Especially in the countries withextensive coastal zone, such as Iran, this kind of energy is completely-cost effective. Thereforeinvestigation on different components of wind turbines is of great importance. In the presentstudy using finite element software SAP2000 effect of simultaneous wave and current loads aswell as ship impact on a monopile was investigated. This monopile can be regarded as the base for a wind turbine
