dc.description.abstractWind turbine foundations must be designed to limit the angular rotation of the tower. Rammed Aggregate Piers (RAPs) are commonly used as a mean for increasing the available soil rotational stiffness by taking advantage of their higher stiffness compared to that of the matrix soil being reinforced. A composite stiffness approach using the elastic dynamic parameters of the soil and the RAP elements is used to develop a solution for increasing the foundation soil available rotational stiffness, thereby meeting the project design requirements. This article presents the technical background and procedures used for developing a solution for increasing the foundation soil rotational stiffness using Rammed Aggregate Piers for support of wind turbine foundations. A case history example is also presented at the end to support the technical discussion.
