The composite bucket foundation is a commonly used type of foundation in the development of offshore wind power. Accurately evaluating its natural vibration period is crucial for the successful implementation of construction techniques such as air-floating towing
sinking
and floating. This paper derives a formula for calculating the natural vibration period of the composite cylinder foundation
taking into account the mechanism of air-floating
structural dynamics theory
and the coupling effect of the air cushion and water plug inside the bucket. The validity and accuracy of this calculation method are confirmed by comparing it to experimental and calculated values from existing literature. The results demonstrate that by considering the coupled mass characteristics of the air cushion and water plug
along with the air buoyancy decreasing coefficient and a reasonable range for the additional mass coefficient
it is possible to accurately predict the natural vibration period of the composite bucket foundation. The added mass coefficient decreases as the draft increases
and the charge and exhaust modes are more effective than the top ballast mode for adjusting the natural period of the structure by changing its draft.
