Abstract: A tower construction with a foundation and a top and a lower force distribution element in the foundation and an upper force distribution element at the top. Between the upper and lower force elements there are provided prefabricated concrete tower elements and at least one interlinking element. Tower elements and at least one interlinking element placed on top of the foundation form a column. Tendons and interlinking tendons are fastened such that the tendons span from the upper to the lower force distribution element, and the interlinking tendons span only over sections of the tower, the sections comprising the interlinking element at one end and another element at the opposite end, wherein the other element is the upper force distribution element, the lower force distribution element, or an additional interlinking element. The interlinking element is hollow and with a thickened circumferential segment inside to which the interlinking tendons are fastened.
Abstract: A concrete tower construction has a foundation and a plurality of prefabricated concrete tower elements, each having an outside, an inside, a material thickness provided there between, and top and bottom surfaces. The tower elements have hollow centers and are arranged one tower element on top of another, forming a column on top of the foundation. Plural tendons arranged in the hollow center apply tension force to the column. An upper force distribution element is arranged on top of the column, and a lower force distribution element is arranged in the foundation. Each tendon is connected to the upper force distribution element and the lower force distribution element by cooperating attachments. Methods of erecting the tower construction, tower elements and a foundation are described.
