Abstract:
A foundation system for a tower, such as a wind turbine, includes a central hub assembly, a plurality of post-tensioned concrete beams, and an anchoring system associated with each beam. In use the foundation system is arranged so that the bottom surfaces of the concrete beams bear on soil and the anchoring is disposed within the soil. The beams can be inverted bulb-T beams having post-tensioning cables inserted there-through and cooperating with an oppositely disposed related beam. The central hub assembly can include a plurality of stacked disk elements or steel frame elements that are post-tensioned together to form a single hub structure.

Claim (Index 16):
A tower foundation system, comprising:\n a central hub assembly; a plurality of post-tensioned concrete beams projecting radially outward from the central hub assembly at equal circumferential intervals, each post-tensioned concrete beam having a proximal end adjacent to the central hub assembly, a distal end spaced from the proximal end, a longitudinal axis extending from the proximal end to the distal end, an upper surface, and an on grade bottom surface; each post-tensioned concrete beam includes a plurality of post tensioning cables therein that extend through the proximal end and that post-tension the respective beam; for each post-tensioned concrete beam the distal end thereof is not directly connected to the distal end of an adjacent one of the post-tensioned concrete beams; a gap is provided between the on grade bottom surfaces of each adjacent pair of the post-tensioned concrete beams; and each post-tensioned concrete beam includes an anchoring system connected to the distal end thereof, each anchoring system includes a pile cap disposed below the on grade bottom surface and the pile caps are disposed within the soil.
