Structural health monitoring of onshore wind turbine foundations
… continual support of renewable power generation. Onshore wind is a major contributor to the world's renewable capacity. Ensuring or possibly extending the lifetime of current assets is key in gaining the most efficient power generation. Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems can be employed to …

Landslide-pipeline interaction for onshore slopes in silty sand
Onshore oil and gas pipelines are often routed through hazardous terrain owing to the need to traverse large distances and inevitably crosses large slopes and river valleys. A type of linear critical infrastructure, pipelines must be designed to withstand the soil forces created by landslides, …

RISK-BASED FRAMEWORK FOR SAFETY MANAGEMENT OF ONSHORE TANK FARM OPERATIONS
AbstractThe onshore tank farm operations has become more useful and handy, as a result of increased international sea-borne trade, particularly, the unprecedented higher volume of petroleum products and hazardous chemicals traffic globally. The onshore tank farm is a facility used for safe …

Numerical modelling of onshore wind turbine gravity foundations susceptible to cyclic soil degradation
… of cyclic soil degradation on the design of onshore wind turbine gravity foundations. This was undertaken by: (1) analysing a case study of a wind farm in South Africa, and quantifying the effect of cyclic degradation on the foundation design for three separate ground profiles; (2) performing …

Motivations, incentives, and commitments: financial benefits and citizen participation in onshore wind energy in Ireland
Social acceptance of onshore wind energy is a fundamental constraint for the delivery of sustainable electricity supply (Wüstenhagen et al., 2007). For a country such as the Republic of Ireland, this is a significant impediment to the decarbonisation of the energy sector (Brennan et al., 2017; …

Geotechnical considerations for onshore wind turbines : adapting knowledge and experience for founding on South African pedocretes
Wind energy has been placed at the centre of the South African Government's Renewable Energy Independent Producer Programme (REIPPP) with the purpose of addressing electricity capacity deficits and poor service delivery. In doing so, substantial wind farm development has been proposed for the …
