Abstract:

It is known that the use of renewable energy has an increasing trend in whole world. Wind energy is one of the renewable energy types, as well is among the cleanest and most economical energy sources. Nowadays, in order to provide much more energy from wind, turbine towers are being built higher and the turbine blades have begun to be manufactured longer. Due to these applications, tower and turbine weights are continuously increasing. For this reason, it is necessary to optimize the materials used as well as the dimensions of the turbine towers. In the present study, behavior of TLP floating

Abstract:

As a weak part of the concrete tower in wind turbines, the insufficient shear capacity of vertical joints can cause the local shear failure of the tower, reduce the overall bearing capacity and stability of the tower, and lead to safety issues. At present, the splicing of tower vertical joints mainly uses epoxy resin filling and arc bolt connections. However, sometimes the concrete near the vertical joints is damaged due to compression after applying pretension to the arc bolts, which will affect the bearing capacity and stability of the entire tower structure. If other interface processes are

Abstract:

The finite element method was used to study the feasibility of concrete-filled, fiber-reinforced polymer tubes (CFFTs) for small-scale wind turbine towers in remote areas. Although CFFTs have been successfully employed for a variety of structural applications, their use for wind turbine towers is novel and has yet to be investigated in detail. The objective of the study was to identify, for the first time, the most important parameters for design and compare the behavior of CFFT towers versus conventional steel and concrete towers. The model was first validated using experimental results repor

Abstract:

In the paper is presented a parametric study on possibilities of designing and realizing a prestressed reinforced concrete tower for a wind turbine, WEG 400, as an alternative solution replacing a steel structure. WEG 400 is a generation of a double-blade wind turbine with the rotor diameter of 36.7 m. Key design criteria include extreme static/dynamic loads, cyclical loading and natural frequency. The supporting structure of the tower needs to be easy to dispose from prefabricated prestressed concrete elements.

Abstract:

To meet the demand of high performance of mass concrete in a pile cap of well tower, excessive replacement of fly ash was applied to the mass concrete. Based on the theory of hydration heat of cement, several thermal parameters of mix proportion were analyzed and simulated test analyses and setting time test analyses were conducted in the laboratory. The results and data collected in the project locale both show that applying excessive replacement of fly ash reduces hydration heat of mass concrete in the pile cap of well tower, which extends setting time in mass concrete and avoids the cracks

Abstract:

The Odawara Port Bridge is located at the mouth of Odawara Port. Selecting a bridge type that symbolized the entire project and blended well with the surrounding area was critical. To achieve this, an extra-dosed prestressed concrete box girder with a main span of 122 m was selected. Construction of this bridge type is the first in the world. Special characteristics of this bridge type are a lower tower height than that of a cable-stayed bridge, the use of a saddle at the top of the towers, and the incorporation of epoxy-coated strands for diagonal cables.

Historically, bell towers have been religious and architectural symbols in the landscape that summoned the faithful to celebrations and fulfilled a crucial territorial significance task. This function was assumed by the towers of some universities. The real need of the University Francisco de Vitoria to build a bell tower for its new chapel and to be significant both for its campus and the city is the pretext to investigate the need for this element in the current context through an academic exercise with architecture students.

Abstract:

Widely used telecommunication structures are usually of the tower or mast type. For medium and tall telecommunications structures, tower-type constructions become less efficient compared to mast-type structures. The goal of our article is to discover a new, efficient telecommunication structure. For relatively low heights, tower systems can be designed with a continuous cross-section, in most cases using reinforced concrete elements. Among them, efficient spun concrete elements, whose load-bearing capacity is higher than that of ordinary solid reinforced concrete elements due to the technologi

So the engineers are trying to design leaner towers, with more buckling resistance using environmental hardening rings.

In this study, by investigating the results of linear spectral dynamic analysis, the optimum location of environmental hardening rings is determined under the influence of earthquake accelera
