Design of Foundations for Wind Turbine with Analysis by Finite Element Method

Abstract

Presents engineering solution of wind energy tower (WET) foundation and basement designing in hydrogeological conditions of the Ereymentau area. Calculations of forces perceived by the WET, and following bearing capacity, settlement and stability analysis are made by the Finite Element Method in the program complex SCAD and Plaxis 2D. The calculated results in paper had been presented in graphics and tabulars
