Abstract
A wind turbine blade includes a first blade portion and a second blade portion coupled together by a connection joint. A first spar cap is associated with an upper shell half and a second spar cap is associated with the lower shell half of each of the first and second blade portions. A shear web extends between the first spar cap and the second spar cap of each of the first and second blade portions. The shear web is terminated away from a joint interface at which the first and second blade portions meet, and there is no shear web extending in a longitudinal direction across the joint interface. The shear web extending between the first spar cap and the second spar cap is branched in the longitudinal direction toward the first and second blade interfaces of the first and second blade portions respectively.
