Abstract

The distribution of wave directions within a short-term sea state has a relevant influence on the fatigue loading of offshore structures. This so-called wave spreading can be taken into account in the simulation of the sea states and leads to a more realistic representation. Measurement data collected at the FINO1 research platform will be used to demonstrate the effect. The impact of considering wave spreading both in the short-term as well as in the long-term will be studied at the example of a monopile and a tripod.
