This report summarises the key features of the MEGAWIND FRP composite tower design and the experimental campaign conducted on 1/3 scale prototype specimens. The report highlights the problems and lessons learnt from the manufacturing process and how these affect the overall design. The results of Finite Element models are compared to experimental data and are then used to predict the behaviour of the proposed full-scale prototype. The effects of environmental factors on the constituent materials are studied with an accelerated ageing campaign and recommendations are made on the basis of the observed degradation.

Project funded by the European Community under the FP5 programme.
