DNV DNV-ST-0126 PDF

This DNV standard for wind turbine support structures offers pragmatic design approaches and can for example be used for design of steel and concrete towers, gravity-based concrete foundations, together with steel foundations such as monopile foundations, jacket structure foundations and suction buckets foundations.

This standard gives requirements for the following:

— design principles

— selection of material and extent of inspection

— selection of design loads and load combinations

— load effect analyses

— structural design

— corrosion protection

— geotechnical design

— grouted connections for offshore support structures

— scour protection for offshore support structures.

The standard also contains requirements for materials, execution, operations and maintenance (O&M) related to the design. This is done by inclusion of for example references to material and execution standards.
