Design of wind Energy Foundation

Wind turbines are getting larger and more powerful.  Accordingly, these high capacity turbines apply larger loads to their foundations, the structures that transfer weight from the turbines to the earth. In general, foundations are usually simple concrete blocks called footings that are placed under building walls and columns, or in the case of wind turbines, beneath the tower.  The performance of this type of foundation depends on the strength and compressibility of the soil or rock that may be present under the footing.

Manual Design Example for Bridge Girder

Girder bridges have come a long way from their limited small-span application to a very cost-competitive functional form, becoming the most widely used bridge type of our time. A practical girder design begins with thorough knowledge about the various regional girder types, their advantages and disadvantages compared to other bridge forms, and influences of various site constraints. Many peripheral factors, such as life cycle cost, fabrication and shipping limitations, traffic and construction conditions, and maintenance access, also affect the design. The process begins with planning, type selection, and design and ends with construction and inspection and preservation.
