Abstract: A tower segment for at least a section of a tower includes a tower segment defining an interior, a longitudinal axis, and a wall, and a supply structural segment preassembled in the interior of the tower segment extending along a the longitudinal axis of the tower segment. The supply structural segment is movable relative to the tower segment and connected to the wall of the tower segment so that the supply structural segment can be moved at least from an assembly position to a connecting position. Other tower, tower segment, support structure, support structural segment, and methods of erection of same use at least a tower segment of a tower.

Abstract: A structure, in particular, a wind turbine tower (1), which is pre-tensioned with at least one tensioning element (3), has a foundation (2), a concrete tower section (4), in particular, consisting of a plurality of precast concrete elements (5), as well as a head piece (6), wherein the tensioning element (3) at least at one of its ends has a tendon anchor (7, 7a, 7b). The tendon anchor (7, 7a, 7b) has an accommodation (8) in which a first end (10a) of an anchor rod (9) is fastened, in particular screwed in. A second end (10b) of the anchor rod (9) is anchored to the foundation (2) or to the head piece (6). In a corresponding method for manufacturing a structure, a first end (10a) of an anchor rod (9) is fastened, in particular screwed in an accommodation (8) of a tendon anchor (7, 7a, 7b), and a second end (10b) of the anchor rod (9) is anchored to the foundation (2) or to the head piece (6).

Abstract: A flat-based foundation for a structural component includes a foundation plate having an underside, an upperside, and a center. At least one first soft layer insert is located on or underneath the underside of the foundation plate. The at least one first soft layer insert is a non-load-transferring layer and is arranged at a distance from the center so that the foundation plate is split into at least one inner load-transferring area and at least one outer load-transferring area.

Abstract: A foundation for a structure pre-stressed via a plurality of tensioning members includes a foundation slab and a suspension device cast into the foundation slab. The suspension device includes an anchor element, which may be an upper anchor plate, located at least as high as an upper side of the foundation slab, the anchor element for attachment to one of the tensioning members. The suspension device also includes a lower anchor plate located at least as low as within a lower third of the foundation slab. The structure may be a container, a tower or a wind turbine tower. The structure may include a stack of prefabricated concrete parts. The disclosure is also directed to the combined structure and foundation, and to a method of manufacturing a structure having a foundation.
