Abstract
The internal cavity of the foundation of steel-concrete composite wind turbine tower is designed to facilitate the prestressed construction. The load bearing mechanisms of this foundation are different from those of ring type and anchor type foundations commonly used in steel wind turbine towers. Based on a real project, an integrated model of prestressed tower-foundation-ground was built by using the finite element software Abaqus. The internal force and damage of the foundation of steel-concrete wind turbine tower under extreme load conditions were studied by using static loading method. Under extreme load conditions, prestressed reinforcement have little impact on the local pressure at the anchor end of the foundation. Pre-stressing the reinforcement effectively prevents concrete cracking and tower deformation. For areas experiencing extreme loads on both sides, simplified calculations for stress and reinforcement can be performed using the calculation formula of bracket.
