Abstract
There are plans to build more than 8,000 offshore wind turbines (OWTs) in the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. Because of this large number of wind farms, application of probabilistic assessments and life-cycle concepts are worth discussing. OWTs are structures which are segmentally prefabricated onshore and later assembled offshore. The so-called grouted joint is normally used to connect the foundation and the supporting structure. No reliable information is available concerning the in situ material properties of grout in grouted joints which is worthwhile for probabilistic analysis and the life-cycle concepts of wind farms. The Institute of Building Materials Science has developed a special transparent formwork to simulate the material behavior in the annular gap during the application process of grouted joints. The influence of the grout application method will also be considered, as well as the influence of the geometry of the in situ material properties of the grout.
