M.Sc - PG
3–6 Months
Masters of Science Programes
The course provides an introduction to geotechnical aspects of designing foundations for offshore wind turbines. Students learn about soil mechanics, seabed characterization, sampling methods, laboratory testing, and types of foundations used in offshore applications. Special focus is given to soil-structure interaction models, including p–y curves and the PISA method for monopile design. The course covers constitutive soil models, load-bearing capacity, and displacement analysis of support structures. Practical classes include calculations of monopile foundations, integrating theoretical knowledge with engineering applications.
To equip students with knowledge and practical skills in soil-structure interaction and geotechnical design of support structures for offshore wind turbines, including application of analytical, numerical, and modern design methods.
