Windmill foundation
Windmill foundation
(OP)
Loading of foundation for the windmill consists:
-horizontal forces from absorption of the wind kinetic energy, means rotor+tube,
-vertical forces from the weights,
-overall moment from the horizontal forces,
and what else?
Am I miss something?
What about vibration dynamics?
Thanks

I believe the rule of thumb for vibrating machinery is to have your footing at least 3 times the mass of your vibrating machine. I would take the mass of the moving parts in this case.
Check you natural frequency of the support tower to make sure it is not wind sensitive.
