A modular tower structure (100) uses a cost-effective, efficient design that reduces the amount of steel necessary for tower structures for wind turbines (10). The modular tower (10) is constructed from sections (90). The sections are constructed from panels (50) comprising a curved or arcuate shape. A vertical connection (200,201) connects or secures the panels (50) at the vertical edges (54) of the panels (50) and forms the sections (90) having a generally circular shape. A horizontal connection (400) connects or secures the sections (90) at the horizontal edges (60) of the panels (50). The vertical connection (200,201 ) and the horizontal connection (400) each comprises an interior vertical friction plate positioned over a seam or gap between adjacent panels and an exterior vertical friction plate positioned over the seam or gap between adjacent panels. |
