Abstract: With the implementation of the "One Belt and One Road" strategic concept, the oversea power market is becoming more and more important for the Chinese Power Construction industry. In the comparison of design codes for the gravity expanded wind turbine foundations, a significant difference between the Chinese and European codes was found. This paper presents the differences among both codes through a case history.

Key words: Gravity Expanded Wind Turbine Foundation, GL2010, Area Ratio of Compression of Shallow Foundations
