As a critical component of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs), reinforced concrete (RC) floating foundations are typically designed to last two to three times longer than the upper structure. However, their durability and reliability are challenged due to the coupled effects of corrosion and fatigue in harsh marine environments. This study proposes a multi-physics coupling framework to explore the deterioration mechanisms of RC-FOWT foundations under dynamic wind-wave loading and adverse environments. A cylindrical chloride diffusion model quantifies chloride transport in concrete, considering temperature, humidity, and fatigue-induced cracks. A pitting corrosion model assesses the cross-sectional loss and pitting depth of steel reinforcements, while the Paris-Erdogan fatigue crack growth model simulates corrosion-induced crack propagation under cyclic loading. Additionally, probability density function informed method-driven probabilistic analysis and various climate change scenarios predict the time-dependent failure probability of FOWT foundations. Results indicate that extreme climate change scenarios may increase energy production by 12.9% compared to non-climate-change scenario. However, chloride diffusion and corrosion rates accelerate by 62%, significantly speeding up crack propagation and reducing structural lifespan by approximately 49.15%. This study highlights the trade-off between increased energy production and accelerated structural deterioration due to climate change, emphasizing the need for balanced design considerations.
期刊介绍:
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
