TOWER CONSTRUCTION
The invention relates to a tower construction with an annular cross section, comprising one or more component tubes (1) arranged concentrically one on top of the other, wherein at least one component tube (1) is composed of at least 3 tube segments (2), the tube segments (2) of at least one component tube (1) are pretensioned relative to one another by means of tensioning devices, hereinafter referred to as segment tensioning devices, and the component tubes (1) have tensioning devices, hereinafter referred to as component tube tensioning devices, which act at least in the axial direction and extend over at least one horizontal joint (5), the tube segments (2) and the component tubes (1) composed therefrom form, at their butting edges, joints (3) having gaps (9), the gaps (9) of the joints (3) are filled at least partially with a joint-filling material (8), and the joints (3) between the tube segments of the same component tube allow a certain, substantially constraint-free rotation of the adjoining tube segments about the joint axis.
