Dr. Majid Goodarzi

Dr. Majid Goodarzi is a geotechnical engineer specializing in offshore foundation design for wind energy infrastructure. He has been active in the offshore wind industry since 2016, focusing on large-diameter monopiles, suction bucket foundations, cyclic loading behavior, and installation. He completed his PhD at Newcastle University (UK) and is currently working in the offshore sector while also contributing as a part-time researcher at Ruhe University of Bochum. His work bridges advanced geotechnical research with practical foundation design for major offshore wind projects.

15:00 Impact of Advanced Soil Laboratory Testing Quality on Monopile Design

* Comparative Analysis of Cyclic Load Tests: Evaluating results from cyclic load tests performed on identical soil samples across different geotechnical laboratories to identify variances.
* Influence on Cyclic Soil Parameters: Discrepancies in laboratory results and influence on derivation of final cyclic-related soil parameters.
* Case Study: Design Sensitivity: Performing a real-world design calculation using soil data sets from different laboratories to demonstrate practical impact.
* Impact on Monopile Weight: Evaluating how varying laboratory outcomes affect the final monopile dimensions and total steel weight.
* Strategic Recommendations: Proposing methods to mitigate the risks associated with non-unique or non-repeatable test results to ensure design reliability.
