03 Stage Technical Design and Review
04 Capacity of the plant 50 MW

1.2. Scope of work

This calculation report is made to check and calculate performance of
anchor bolts in the WT5 foundation, the built offshore wind turbine foundation
has some pre-stressed anchor bolts found with stress loss phenomenon. The
foundation concrete strength and serviceability states are not considered.
Equipment installed in foundation WT05:
+ Brand: MingYang;
+ Turbine type: MySE3.2-156;
The modeled and applied calculations are of the non-linear finite element
problem type – Structural non-linear.
Within the scope of this report, the project's anchor bolts are said to have
load bearing problems without accurate measurement results of the current
bearing capacity. Therefore, during the anchor bolts calculation, they are
considered to be pre-stress loss.

Parameters of anchor bolts are taken according to technical guide of
suppliers as in the table below:

Table 1.4 – Parameters on anchoring moment
1.5.4. Requirements on steel strength

Steel strength is designed in compliance with GB50017-2003 - Code for
Design of Steel Structures.
1.6. Phenomenon description

The upper and lower steel plates are connected to each other using 256
anchor bolts of the M48 type. Bolts are embedded in concrete, and then stressed
with a post-tensioning force of 640 kN;

Figure 1.3 – Details of anchor bolts and steel plates of the cover at the top and
at the bottom
Figure 1.4 – Details of status of bolt No. 62 after installation – WT05

Figure 1.5 – Details of status of bolt no. 61,62 and 63 after installation – WT05
According to the images and phenomenon description, anchor bolts No. 61,
62 and 63 have the phenomenon of losing stress after being tensioned. The
phenomenon of stress loss is caused by various reasons. But the main cause is
due to the effects of friction and elastic contraction.
The main assessments in this report include:
1. Checking the stress conditions of tension anchor bolts in case of
calculated tension force. The load applied to the concrete structure corresponds
to the SLS combination. Anchor bolts operate normally;
2. Checking the tension force in the case post-tension anchor bolts have
stress loss. Anchor bolts are subjected to stress loss according to the calculation
diagram.
3. Assessing the fatigue conditions of anchor bolts in the case post-tension
anchor bolts have stress loss.

2.5. Calculation cases

In order to evaluate and comprehensively analyze working state of the
anchor bolts in the wind tower foundation in normal cases (correct installation
procedure, correct tensile force) and in abnormal cases (some anchor bolts do
not achieve required tension as shown in the figure above), the following
calculation cases are conducted:
- Case 1:
+ Load corresponding to SLS-QP (Service Limit State – Quasi –
Permanent), long term service limit state;
+ Anchor bolts are installed and operate normally with post-tensioning
force of bolts of 640 kN;
+ Assessment results: stress status of anchor bolts.
- Case 2:
The value m  5 is normally associated with steel casing and anchors. This
value is recommended by the Turbine supplier and used in the design 1.
+ Load corresponding to Fatigue, m = 5;

01 Case 1 SLS-QP 353.68 Accepted
operation
02 Case 2 FLS, m = 5 stress lost 294.3 to 295.5 [400 MN] Accepted
The stress state inside anchor bolts, both in SLS-QP and FLS cases, is less
than the allowable stress limit value.
3.4.2. Results of fatigue state
At the same time, the relevant fatigue curve of DNV RP C203-2020 is
supplemented for further supplementary fatigue checking.
The bolts are wrapped in concrete and can be considered to be fatigued in the
air. The parameters of various types of fatigue curves are shown in the table
below. The bolts that are mainly subjected to tensile force belong to category F1
or category G (category G can be conservatively used in calculation).

F1 or G curves can be used for bolts mainly subject to tension and pressure
(G type can be conservatively used for calculation).
The fatigue life can be calculated by following equation:

According to above table, when the number of equivalent fatigue load

cycles of the wind turbine is 1×10 8, using the second segment of the S-N curve,
the calculation parameters are shown in the table below.
The stress calculated by the finite element can be considered as the nominal
stress Δσnormal, according to the above tables, considering that the stress
concentration factor SCF of the G curve is 1.8, the Δσ in the actual calculation
should be brought into SCF×Δσnormal, and the specific calculation process is as
follows:
Table 3.2 – Fatigue state assessment results of anchor bolt
m2 5
loga2 14.33
Δσnormal 1.2
SCF (Stress concentration factor) 1.8
logN 12.65773124
N 4547065856282.5
nload 1×108
Damge= nload/N 0.1
After calculation, the maximum damage of the anchor bolts is only about
0.1, indicating that the fatigue performance of the anchor bolts meets the
requirement by the standard.

Part 4: CONCLUSIONS
4.1. Stress state in anchor bolts:
The stress value of anchor bolts operates normally and in case anchor bolts
is subjected to stress loss, the stress value is always less than the allowable limit
stress of high-strength steel material.
4.2. Fatigue state in anchor bolts:
Assessment of the fatigue state of anchor bolts shall be in accordance with
DNV RP C203-2020. For the case of two bolt malfunctioned, the maximum
fatigue damage value is less than 1, i.e. within the allowable range in the
standard.
