The present invention relates to a wind turbine blade () comprising a shell body with at least one pressure side shell member () and at least one suction side shell member (), and a plurality of shear webs () arranged within the shell body. The plurality of shear webs () is successively arranged spanwise within the shell body such that adjacent shear webs overlap along part of their spanwise extent (L), wherein a gap () in the chordwise direction is provided between adjacent shear webs ().

Wind turbine blade with a plurality of shear webs

The present invention relates to an access arrangement () of a wind turbine blade for accessing a hollow space within the blade. The access arrangement () comprises an access opening () provided in the blade shell member, a cover panel () for covering the access opening (), a sealing member () arranged between the cover panel () and the blade shell member, and one or more fasteners () for releasably fastening the cover panel () to the blade shell member. The present invention also relates to a wind turbine blade comprising the access arrangement ().

Access arrangement for a wind turbine blade

Disclosed is a method for sealing a joint between a first blade section and a second blade section of a wind turbine blade, a sealing member and a wind turbine blade comprising a sealing member. The sealing member having a first surface and a second surface. The sealing member having a width between a first edge and a second edge. The sealing member being configured for attachment to the first outer shell along the first edge, and for attachment to the second outer shell along the second edge. The sealing member comprising a corrugated section between the first edge and the second edge, the corrugated section comprising one or more valleys and/or ridges extending along a lengthwise direction of the sealing member.
