sentences:  Wind turbines, by their nature, are very tall slender structures, this can cause a number of issues when the structural design of the foundations are considered.The foundations for a conventional engineering structure are designed mainly to transfer the vertical load (dead weight) to the ground, this generally allows for a comparatively unsophisticated arrangement to be used.However, in the case of wind turbines, the force of the wind's interaction with the rotor at the top of the tower creates a strong tendency to tip the wind turbine over.
