The Study on Force Behavior of Concrete Filled Steel Tube Lattice Wind Turbine Tower with Three Limb Columns

Abstract:

This paper refers to currently the 1.5MW cone tube type wind-driven generator tower, design the model of the concrete-filled steel tube wind turbine tower with three limb columns, and research on the force performance, such as the change of internal force, the process of failure, hysteretic behavior, bearing capacity, ductility and energy dissipation capacity by the pseudo-static experiment on the scale model of wind turbine tower. The study shows that the P- hysteretic curve of lattice concrete-filled steel tube wind-driven generator tower with three limb columns is asymmetric, relatively full “spindle” and the phenomenon of “knead shrink” is not obvious, which account for it has good force behavior and energy dissipation capacity. This kind of tower structure, of which the reverse bearing capacity is greater than the positive, and the reverse ductility coefficient is less than the positive, indicates that it’s reverse plastic deformation ability of the tower structure is weaker than it’s positive.
