Offshore Foundations, Conference Day 1 | Tuesday, 25th August 2026

16:00 Understanding buckling in current and next generation (XXL) monopiles through numerical studies and optimization

This roundtable explores buckling in current and next generation (XXL) monopile foundations from a multidisciplinary perspective. We will discuss how geotechnical conditions, structural loads and fabrication imperfections interact in ways that remain conservative and/or insufficiently understood in current industry practice, limiting potential for optimization. The session will also highlight how improved numerical methods and FE simulations can support de-risking and more cost effective monopile design.

Check out the incredible speaker line-up to see who will be joining Ömer Can.
