TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a hybrid tripod bucket foundation for offshore wind turbines, which consists of a conventional tripod bucket combined with three large circular mats attached to each bucket, and a series of experiments were conducted on small-scale models of the proposed foundation subjected to overturning moment under 1g conditions in loose sand.

TL;DR: In this paper, a considerable attention to failure of pipelines should be paid to increase the uplift resistance of pipelines and it can be achieved by increasing the burial depth or utilizing soil improvement techniques.

TL;DR: In this article, a winged suction caisson is proposed to enhance the torsional capacity of the caisson foundation for offshore wind turbines in the form of winged caisson, and finite element models of the proposed foundation are developed to study its performance in clay under torsion loading combined with horizontal and overturning loads.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the results of a series of numerical simulations predicting the performance of a novel hybrid suction caisson foundation used for offshore wind turbines under overturning moment.
