Structural analysis of pile cap as onshore wind turbine foundation

ABSTRACT: This paper analyzes the structural behavior of reinforced concrete pile caps as onshore wind turbine foundations using eight models based on the finite element method (FEM). The variables adopted are: the type of finite element utilized; the soil representation; and, considering or not the...
