The mono-column composite bucket foundation has gained practical application in offshore wind power due to its advantages of simple fabrication, fast construction, and low cost. To ensure the safe and stable transportation of this structure to its designated sinking position, this study focuses on producing a scaled model of the mono-column composite bucket foundation. Through model testing, the floating characteristics of the structure during towing in regular waves are examined. The conclusion of the study is as follows: a significant towing force is required to provide the initial velocity of the structure. As the wave period and height increase, the structure necessitates a larger towing force, experiences greater pitch and heave responses, and exhibits more noticeable fluctuations in internal air pressure. The paper aims at providing practical engineering insights.
