Post-tensioned wind turbine foundation
A post-tensioning system that is configured for use with concrete wind turbine foundation designs to post-tension the foundations and reduce the amount of reinforcement steel that is needed compared to conventional non-post-tensioned, steel reinforced concrete foundation designs. In the case of an inverted T gravity foundation, the post-tensioning system described herein reduces the amount of reinforcement steel that is required by 30-40 tons.
CEMENT FORM
A cement form made at least in part of a foam material can be used to form a cement foundation of a structure. The cement form can include a cement facing surface oriented vertically and configured to support a volume of cement. The cement can also include a ground facing surface oriented horizontally and configured to contact a ground support surface.
