Abstract
Load combinations of wind forces and earthquake forces for wind energy power units are investigated from a probabilistic point of view When large-scale earthquake events are taken into consideration in structural design, wind forces at the mean wind velocity during service life can be added to the earthquake forces. Dynamic response analysis is carried out to estimate sectional forces at the wind energy power units. It is made clear that the tower has fairly large seismic capacity when the tower is designed by wind force at strong wind velocities due to typhoons.
