The dynamic impedances of foundation play an important role in the dynamic behavior and structural stability of offshore wind turbines (OWT). Though the behaviors of bucket foundation, which are considered as a relatively innovative foundation type under static loading, have been extensively investigated, the corresponding dynamic performances were neglected in previous research. This study focuses on the dynamic impedances of wide-shallow bucket foundations (WSBF) under the horizontal and rocking loads. Firstly, the numerical model was established to obtain the dynamic impedances of WSBF using the coupled finite-infinite element technique (FE-IFE). The crucial parameters affecting the dynamic responses of WSBF are investigated. It is shown that the skirt length mainly affects the rocking dynamic impedance and the diameter significantly affects the horizontal and coupling impedances, especially when the diameter is larger than 34 m. The overall dynamic responses of WSBF are profoundly affected by the relative soil thickness and the multi-layer soil stiffness. Additionally, dynamic impedances of WSBF are insensitive to the homogeneous soil stiffness. Lastly, the safety threshold curve was calculated according to the OWT, which can provide essential reference for the design of the OWT supported by large scale WSBF.
