To ensure the safe and stable operation of a 10 MW floating wind turbine concrete platform under harsh sea conditions, the fluid–structure coupling theory was used to apply wind, wave, and current loads to a concrete semi-submersible floating platform, and strength analysis was performed to calculat...
