A foundation for a wind turbine tower includes a base slab, a pedestal provided on the base slab, the pedestal including attachment means for attaching the wind turbine tower; and a plurality of radial walls extending from the pedestal towards an outer edge of the base slab, wherein at least one of the base slab, the pedestal and at least one of the plurality of radial walls is made of or includes fiber reinforced concrete.

A blindside waterproofed building foundation system and method of forming the same are provided. The system includes a lagging wall, a monolithic waterproof layer adjacent to the lagging wall, and a foundation layer adjacent to the monolithic waterproof layer. The system and method provide a monolithic waterproofing layer that can remain adhered to a foundation surface even if the materials used to construct the lagging wall deteriorates, decomposes, or moves over time.

A fire resistant ground erosion control mat assembly. The mat assembly includes an inner layer of fire resistant milled stone mineral wool material with an upper and a lower layer of supportive nets. Each of the upper and lower nets consist of fire resistant milled mineral foraminous nettings to enable passage of light and water therethrough as a ground positioned emplacement of the inner layer.

Method of design and manufacturing concrete structures subjected to relevant cyclic loads along their service lives, as wind towers, and a fatigue testing machine. The method consists on the design of concrete structures conditioned by cyclic loads considering a fatigue strength value specified by the project as one of the main design parameters, which will be verified during the manufacturing phase as one of the control parameters of the quality assurance plan by performing fatigue strength test on concrete samples representative of the concrete structural elements produced on said manufacturing phase. The method allows to decouple the concrete fatigue strength from the compressive strength of the material, which is why includes a verification of the fatigue strength as a part of a quality assurance plan of production according to a new developed procedure.
