Monopiles are an often used foundation concept for oshore wind turbine converters. These piles are highly subjected to lateral loads and thereby bending moments due to wind and wave forces. To ensure enough stiness of the foundation and an acceptable pile-head de ection, monopiles with diameters at 4 to 6 m are typically necessary. In current practice these piles are normally designed by use of the py curve method although the method is developed and veried for small diameter, slender piles with a diameter up to approximately 2 m. In the present paper a review of existing py curve formulations for piles in sand under static loading is presented. Based on numerical and experimental studies presented in the literature, advances and limitations of current py curve formulations are outlined.Monopiles are an often used foundation concept for oshore wind turbine converters.
