The
objective of this study is to examine geotechnical research trends in floating
offshore wind energy during a period from 1972 to 2022 via a bibliometric
analysis. Using Web of Science database, 7600 articles were obtained in a
variety of journals, conferences, books and series. The results indicate that
the number of published articles in geotechnical engineering topics in offshore
wind, and specifically on floating offshore wind, are increasing worldwide each
year. Among the offshore geotechnical studies Norway, Denmark and the UK are
the top contributing countries. Majority of the articles belonging to the GEO-group
are about the fixed-bottom type offshore wind turbines (monopile, jacket,
tripod etc.). Among the articles related to floating-type offshore wind
turbines, drag embedded anchors, vertically loaded anchors, multiline anchors,
pile driven plate anchors, dynamically embedded plate anchors, suction embedded
plate anchors were commonly studied. As technological developments in floating
offshore wind are gaining attention (e.g. seabed anchor alternatives, buried
cables in seabed, shared mooring lines and shared anchors etc.) we foresee an
increase in the number of articles. There seems to be a limited number of
research which combines experimental and numerical modelling approaches.
Research on risk, reliability-based probabilistic methods is expected to
increase. Among the loading conditions, limited studies are available for
seismic loading. These aspects are expected to be further investigated in the
coming years. Results from this bibliometric study may highlight the current
status and future trends in offshore geotechnical engineering research.
