Abstract: A transition element between a jacket having four legs and a tower where the lower portion of the tower is fixed to a torsion plate that is connected to an upper portion of the legs. A brace extends from each leg. Each brace includes a strut. The strut has a first end portion and a second end portion. The strut is fixed to the upper portion of each leg and a plate that is fixed to the tower at a contact portion above the torsion plate. The planar plate is fixed to the tower in the circumferential direction and has a common axis of symmetry with the strut. The plate is fixed to the first end portion of the strut.
Abstract: A method controls force transmission between a structure and its base during grouting-in the fastening parts of the structure in the corresponding bases on or in the seabed. The method may include connecting a bracket to at least one of the fastening parts of the structure; arranging an elastic material on the bracket; displacing the fastening part to an overlapping position with the base until the elastic material transmits at least a portion of the weight of the structure to the base; and filling an opening between the fastening part and the base with a curable mass.

Abstract: A stayed connection for a wind turbine (1) is provided with a tower (4) having an upper pipe-shaped tower portion (12) and a lower tower portion (14) and where the upper pipe-shaped tower portion (12) is connected to the lower tower portion (14) by means of a stayed connection (16), and wherein the stayed connection (16) comprises pipe-shaped diagonal stays (18) extending from the lower tower portion (14) and in toward the outside of the upper pipe-shaped tower portion (12), as the diagonal stays (18) at their toward the upper pipe-shaped tower portion (12) facing end portion (28) are compressed and connected directly or via a plate portion (30) to the upper pipe-shaped tower portion (12) by means of a welded connection.
Abstract: A device for a diagonal strut connection between a pipe (12) and an adjacent structure (14) including at least two diagonal struts (16), in which horizontal and vertical forces in the pipe are transmitted to the diagonal strut by means of a first set of shear forces along the attachment of the diagonal strut (16) to the pipe (12) and via a second set of shear forces along the attachment of the diagonal strut to an annular plate (18) surrounding and projecting radially from the pipe (12), the central axis of the diagonal strut (16) extending through or close to the intersection of the resultants of the first and the second sets of shear forces.
Abstract: A support (4) for an elevated mass (6, 8), comprising at least three extended, mutually trussless supporting counts (14, 14?, 14?, 14??), and where the longitudinal axes of the supporting columns (14, 14?, 14?, 14??) meet near the center of gravity (20) of the elevated mass (6, 8).
