Abstract
The foundation system for wind turbines can be a shallow concrete raft or a pile raft foundation; this depends on the loading conditions and on the sub-soil parameters. The economic design of the pile foundation depends mainly on the number of piles, pile diameter, pile arrangement, pile length and inclination of the piles. Since wind turbines are structures under high dynamic loading conditions, requirements of minimum dynamic stiffness for the overall operational behavior of the pile foundation system must be checked in addition to the behavior under static loading. For the simplified overall calculation, an approach for dynamic equivalent rocking spring stiffness is given in the literature for shallow foundations. It will be examined whether certain pile raft systems can possibly be considered as equivalent shallow foundations so that rocking stiffness approach for shallow foundations can be applied for predesign. In this paper, the equivalent rocking stiffness for a pile raft foundation is investigated using finite element method (FEM). Within the framework of a parametric study, the main factors affecting the equivalent rocking stiffness are identified and subsequently evaluated. Finally the applicability of the rocking spring stiffness for shallow foundations to be adopted for pile raft is checked.
