Construction of prestressed concrete towers
Prestressed concrete towers for onshore wind turbines are constructed using either in situ or precast concrete techniques and completed with internal or external prestressing. Examples of hybrid tower designs and prestressed towers in precast concrete are described in this chapter. Hybrid support structures for wind turbines are characterized by the combination of various individual loadbearing structures of prestressed concrete and steel which carry the load together. Towers in reinforced or prestressed concrete are mostly described as in situ concrete structures in tenders. Support structures with post‐tensioned precast concrete segments are frequently offered as alternatives for towers up to heights of approx. 100 m. Substructure designs in concrete are generally laid flat on the seabed. Irrespective of the construction and transport methods, the seabed will generally have to be prepared for such a foundation. The chapter concludes with a discussion on concrete foundation designs for offshore wind turbines.
