Abstract
The present invention concerns an anchoring section for anchoring a pylon of a wind power installation in a foundation, including a carrier portion for fixing a pylon segment for carrying the pylon and a foundation portion for concreting in a concrete mass of the foundation, and the foundation portion has at least one web portion with through openings for reinforcing bars to pass therethrough.
Claims16
An anchoring section for anchoring a pylon of a wind power installation in a foundation, the anchoring section comprising;
- a carrier portion for fixing to a pylon segment above the foundation and for carrying the pylon, and
- a foundation portion fixedly connected to the carrier portion for concreting into the foundation, the foundation portion having a web portion with a plurality of through openings arranged at different heights, the plurality of through openings configured to receive reinforcing bars, the foundation portion being configured to transmit vertical forces into the foundation.
A wind power installation comprising:
- a pylon that includes a first the pylon segment that is anchored by an anchoring section that includes:
- a carrier portion fixed to the pylon segment;
- and
- a foundation portion coupled to the carrier portion located and concreted into a foundation, the foundation portion having a web portion with a plurality of through openings arranged at different heights, and reinforcing bars extending through the plurality of through openings, the foundation portion being configured to transfer vertical forces acting on the pylon segment to the foundation.
A method of anchoring a pylon of a wind power installation, the method comprising:
- placing an anchoring section in a structural excavation, the anchoring section including a flange and a web portion that includes a plurality of through openings at different heights.
- placing reinforcement bars in the plurality of through openings so that a portion of the reinforcement bars extend through the plurality of through openings;
- and
- pouring and hardening a concrete foundation over the web portion of the anchoring section, the flange extending above the concrete foundation.
