The presented dataset collects data from 23 geotechnical centrifuge tests (2 monotonic and 21 cyclic), specifically designed to investigate the monotonic and cyclic lateral response of offshore monopiles in dry dense sand. The tests were performed on an aluminium model pile with outer diameter of 18 mm and embedded length-to-diameter ratio, L/D = 5, under a centrifuge acceleration level of 100 × g. All tests were conducted in dense Geba sand with a target relative density of 80%, representing sandy seabed conditions that are often relevant to offshore wind monopile foundations. The test programme includes monotonic loading, one-way cyclic loading, partially one-way cyclic loading, and cyclic loading following monotonic preloading. Displacement sensors, a load cell, and strain gauges instrumented along the pile were used to measure the pile response during loading, including lateral displacement, applied force, and bending moment profiles. The dataset contains the raw continuous time-series measurements recorded during the loading sequences, together with processed response quantities, such as ground-level displacement, rotation, and interpreted bending moment distributions. The data are provided in editable format to support future reuse, for instance, in the validation of numerical models, development of cyclic design methods, and comparative studies on monopile–soil interaction under lateral loading.
In the scope of understanding mussel mortalities in France and the immune response of the blue mussel Mytilus sp. toward the emerging pathogen Francisella halioticida , an experimental challenge was performed. Blue mussels, Mytilus sp., farmed in Agon-Coutainville, Normandy, France, were infected with sterile broth (control), a low virulent (FR21) or a highly virulent (FR22c) isolate of the species F. halioticida . Gills samples were harvested before injection, at 24 and at 72 h post-injection, to form five pools of five mussels per condition. RNA was extracted using conventional Trizol™ protocol and mRNA were sequenced with the Illumina technology. The global transcriptome was performed de novo and successively mapped onto available genome sequences of M. edulis and M. galloprovinciali s, forming a total of 141 063 predicted coding sequences. The dataset can allow to distinguish distinct responses of natural hybrid mussels to two isolates with distinct virulence pattern. This dataset can be used to better understand response in the gills and can also enable the detection of novel genes of interest.
