  • Patent number: 8844237
    Abstract: A wind power plant tower segment is provided. The tower segment is designed as a jacket segment and comprises a reinforced concrete body, comprising two faces for attaching to faces of at least one further tower segment. In the region of each face, at least one connecting body is introduced in the reinforced concrete body and anchored therein for connecting to a connecting body of an adjoining tower segment. The connecting body comprises a fastening wall that is disposed substantially parallel to the respective face for absorbing a tensile load that is directed transversely to the face and transversely to the fastening wall. A wind power installation pylon having a plurality of such pylon segments, a wind power installation having a corresponding pylon, and a process for the production of a plurality of pylon segments is also provided.

  • Patent number: 8597564
    Abstract: There is provided a process for producing precast concrete parts, in particular pylon segments. Concrete is poured into a casting mold with a planar bottom for producing a planar underside. After the concrete has reached at least a minimum strength an equalization layer is applied to a join surface of the precast concrete part that is opposite to the underside. As soon as the equalization layer has reached the minimum strength, the precast concrete part is placed on a horizontally oriented surface and the equalization layer on the top side is removed in a plane-parallel relationship with the underside.
