Abstract

The complexity of reinforcement and consequent corrosion of concrete have been technical issues of the transition segments of the hybrid wind turbine tower. A novel concrete transition segment using prestressed ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) that does not necessitate ordinary reinforcement is applied to a 4.8MW H160 prestressed hybrid wind turbine tower. The mechanical behaviors of the transition segments only with reinforced concrete segment (T-C80RC) and the UHC140 segment without ordinary reinforcement (T-UHC140) are investigated using 3D finite element models. The comparative study shows that UHPC in T-UHC140 improves the overall mechanical performance.
