prestressed concrete wind turbine towers exhibit superior global and local stability
enabling their deployment in complex terrains and for greater hub heights. This study investigates the local and global mechanical properties
as well as the buckling stability
of a full-scale concrete tower under conditions of local symmetric prestress loss in the steel strands. Based on the scale reduction test and the dual scale modeling method. Results demonstrate excellent agreement between the dual scale model predictions and the scaled test data
with relative errors in load and displacement of 0.3% and 5.5%
respectively. For the full-scale model
local edge prestress loss exerts a more significant influence on structural displacement than the case without such loss. Specifically
prestress loss on the windward side results in a 12.2% increase in maximum displacement
while loss on the leeward side causes a 23.6% reduction. Regarding varying magnitudes of prestress loss
tensile stress changes remain minimal
whereas compressive stress changes are pronounced. Linear buckling modes remain largely consistent across different loading conditions
and the location of prestress loss has negligible impact on these modes. In contrast to linear buckling analysis
the critical load derived from non-linear buckling analysis is significantly reduced by 52.3%.
