Abstract: In order to study the dynamic response characteristics of circular extended foundation of wind turbine in mountainous areas, a 1:10 scaled model test was carried out on the circular extended foundation of 2MW wind turbine, and the deformation characteristics of wind turbine foundation under random wind load were analyzed by ABAQUS numerical calculation. The results show that: (1) The wind turbine foundation has different stress types on the windward side and the leeward side. The components of the windward side foundation are subjected to tensile stress, while the components of the wind turbine leeward side foundation are subjected to compressive stress. (2) The strain of the foundation bolt, the strain of the foundation ring, and the strain of the foundation plate are within the allowable range of material deformation, but the relative deformation of the windward side and the leeward side is quite different. (3) The numerical calculation results of wind turbine foundation under strong wind load are compared with the failure results of scale model experiment, which shows that the overall overturning failure of foundation is a dynamic response mode of wind turbine foundation. In the design and construction, it is necessary to strengthen the research on the windward side and the leeward side and strengthen the anti-overturning design of the wind turbine expansion foundation.
