Numerical analysis reveals that cyclic wave loads significantly impact offshore wind turbine foundations, influencing structural integrity.

Cyclic wave loads can severely damage offshore wind turbine foundations, particularly through horizontal and vertical forces.
The analysis identified pile #4 as experiencing the largest horizontal wave load due to its position relative to wave direction.
With increasing still water depth, both horizontal and vertical wave loads on the pile group show significant increases.
Investigating wave–structure interactions is crucial for extending the service life of offshore wind turbines in marine settings.

Wang et al. (2025) studied this question.
