Abstract
Laminated wood tower including a plurality of curved modules attached to each other, where each curved module includes a plurality of layers, where each layer includes a plurality of laminated plies, and where a layer includes a first set of plies, where the first set of plies includes a plurality of plies arranged adjacent each other and where the wood grain is directed in a first direction, and a second set of plies, where the second set of plies includes one or more plies arranged adjacent each other and where the wood grain is directed in a second direction, where the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The advantage is that a self-supporting laminated wood tower can be obtained in an easy and cost-effective way.
