A new and reusable foundation solution for onshore windmills

Mohamed, Wael LU ; Austrell, Per Erik LU and Dahlblom, Ola LU (2018) In Computers and Geotechnics 99. p.14-30
Abstract

A new foundation solution using a cellular raft with an active stabilisation system is proposed in this work. A comparative study of the new foundation and a traditional raft is performed. This study focuses on comparing the load capacity of the mentioned foundation solutions. The results illustrate that a cellular raft with an active stabilisation system gives a substantial enhancement of the load capacity compared to a traditional circular raft. Also, reusing the new foundation solution will provide a significant reduction of the carbon dioxide emissions comparing to the complete dismantling of the existing foundation and building a new one.
