The tower stresses from the load cases are calculated below and compared to the limit<br />

H.1 Load case G<br />

�lim.u �<br />

The load case combines a shaft thrust load with drag forces on the tail vane and the tower<br />

to a maximum tower load in survival wind. In accordance with [5, p. 77], the maximum<br />

bending moment is assumed to occur at the upper guy wire attachment.<br />

The position of the load is considered at the centre of the rotor shaft, as this is the posi-<br />

tion of the dominating part of the combined load. Figure H.1 shows the load position and<br />

the dimensions used in the stress calculation.<br />
