    Wind Load calculations

    Yes ive been trying to find a code reference or some literature.. something that tells me that the wind forces are negligible or something compared to the tower but im unable to find any references regarding that.

    Wind Load calculations

    but what about the cylinder, there would be suction and all sorts of things I assume, so I just want it to be below the height where I can ignore all the wind forces (If that is a thing) Also thank you all for the help. Im really at my wits end with this so all the help is appreciated

    Wind Load calculations

    Hi guys sorry English is not my first language so im not sure ill be able to explain this properly but please refer to this figure may be this can help. This is the tower in upright position, I know that the lower i go the size of the cylinder will be larger but the area created on Z direction...

    Wind Load calculations

    Apologies for the sketch, Perhaps this picture would be of help. Im trying to optimize the position of the hydraulic cylinder on the tower. with adding the hydraulic cylinder the area for wind will increase ( I believe, Im not sure) so im trying to attach the cylinder as low as possible but I...

    Wind Load calculations

    hello, desertfox, Im sorry I was not able to put that up earlier, Wabc is the weight of the turbine Wt is the weight of the tower i is the centroid for the turbine weight e is the centroid for tower weight h is the height of the tower a is what I want to find, but right now I just need a...

    Wind Load calculations

    I am currently trying to optimize the location of a hydraulic cylinder on a wind tower which is being erected using that cylinder. Just wanted to know how high can the hydraulic cylinder(2) be connected so that the wind effect is ignored or if there is some guidelines which I should follow.
