Abstract:
The present invention provides a tower section for a wind turbine which includes at least two tower elements stacked and arranged edge-to-edge at a joining plane, each tower element includes at least two wall segments, connected to one another by first connectors. The tower section further includes second connectors each extending astride the two adjacent tower elements along the longitudinal direction. Each second connector extends in the longitudinal extension of a first connector and has a width increasing, from the first connector, from a first width substantially equal to the width of the first connector to a second width strictly larger than the first width, the second width being reached before the joining plane starting from the first connector.
