Windmills stress distribution for the foundation
Windmills stress distribution for the foundation
(OP)
When I consider remedy measures for foundation of a windmill, it´s correct to taking into account triangle distribution of stress on the level of the toe?
It´s composition of:
1. stress from transformation of the moment
2. stress from weight of foundation
3. stress from weight of a tube and rotor is neglected.
After some exercise, I reach the solution for a worst-case. It´s means max. under the corner of foundation and zero under the center( triangle distribution).
Any suggestion?

There have been a couple of posts on biaxial foundation stress. Do a search at the top.

Suggest the foundation be reviewed, size may need to be increased.
Also if the tube and rotor add weight to the structure, it should be included in the foundation load.
