Abstract: A floating platform for high-power wind turbines, comprising a concrete substructure, said concrete substructure forming the base of the platform, which remains semi-submerged in the operating position, and consisting of a square lower slab on which a series of beams and five hollow reinforced concrete cylinders are constructed, distributed at the corners and the center of said lower slab; a metal superstructure supported on the concrete substructure and forming the base for connection with the wind turbine tower, said tower being coupled at the center thereof; and metal covers covering each of the cylinders, on which the metal superstructure is supported and to which vertical pillars are secured, linked together by beams, which join at the central pillar by an element whereon the base of the wind turbine tower is secured.

Abstract: Road safety barrier comprising: concrete bottom parts (1); concrete top parts (2) coupled on the bottom parts (1), and attaching means (3, 31) of the successive top parts (2) at their opposite ends. The bottom parts (1) have an upper surface provided with a longitudinal channel (11) for coupling in the longitudinal direction and with the possibility of limited vertical displacement of a longitudinal extension (21) protruding from a lower surface of the top parts (2); the channel (11) and the extension (21) have similar cross-sections and dimensions calculated so that the top part performs a lateral rotation of a determined amplitude, in the event of a vehicle impact, and absorbs a significant part of its kinetic energy.

Abstract: A joining device of a metal segment to a concrete segment of a hollow tower. The joining device is formed by a set of bolts passing by one of its ends by holes of an anchoring ring and attached to its both sides by a first set of nuts and arranged to be attached by its other end to the base of the metal segment by a second set of nuts. The anchoring ring includes a set of connectors extending externally and internally thereto in a substantially perpendicular direction to the bolts and arranged so do not interfere with reinforcement. The invention also refers to a hollow tower comprising at least one metal segment joined to a concrete segment by the joining device.

Abstract: The system comprises a limited number of equal groups of formwork pieces, each group comprising: —intermediate pieces (1) of constant curvature and width along the entire length thereof and—end pieces (2) forming two symmetrical lateral corners of triangular or trapezoidal outline, with a curvature equal to that of the intermediate pieces. This system allows for forming, with the same groups of pieces, successive formwork segments of varying or constant section for building towers. The invention also includes a building method and the tower thus obtained.
