Per your request, we have performed a structural analysis for the referenced antenna
tower. The purpose of the analysis was to investigate the structural adequacy of the tower for the
existing configuration (antennas, transmission lines and other appurtenances) under ice and wind
loading conditions with the addition of two, 8’diameter high performance dish antennas with
transmission lines at 200’ AGL.
Our structural analysis of the antenna tower is based on data provided by ABC Tower
and Tower Maintenance, Inc. and manufacturers' product data (please see Appendix A). We
assume that the data is correct. Structural analysis computations were performed utilizing
specialized computer software and the TIA-EIA-222-F Structural Standards for Steel Antenna
Towers and Antenna Supporting Structures. Please see Appendices B, C and D for structural
calculations.
Our structural analysis of the antenna tower indicates that the antenna tower is not in
conformance with the referenced design standard. Recommendations for tower modifications are
outlined below. The antenna tower structural analysis may be summarized as follows:

The main tower is a 3x free standing tower with an overall height of 300' above the ground line.
The base of the tower is set at an elevation of 0' above the ground line.
The face width of the tower is 4' at the top and 26' at the base.
This tower is designed using the TIA/EIA-222-F standard.
The following design criteria apply:
Tower is located in Henderson County, Kentucky.
Basic wind speed of 70 mph.
Nominal ice thickness of 0.5000 in.
Ice density of 56 pcf.
A wind speed of 61 mph is used in combination with ice.
Temperature drop of 75 °F.
Deflections calculated using a wind speed of 50 mph.
EXISTING TOWER WITH PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS.
It is assumed that the tower has been properly maintained and is in good condition..
It is assumed that there have been no structural modifications to the tower unless specifically noted otherwise..
There are no known structural defects and that there is no structural deterioration..
All welds and bolted connections are assumed capable of developing the member strength, unless noted otherwise..
Material strengths are as noted elsewhere in this report..
This structural analysis is based on information provided by others and assumed to be reliable and correct..
See Sheet E-7 for Feedlines and Linear Appurtenances..
See Sheet E-8 for Code Check/Stress Distribution..
A non-linear (P-delta) analysis was used.
Pressures are calculated at each section.
Stress ratio used in tower member design is 1.333.
Local bending stresses due to climbing loads, feedline supports, and appurtenance mounts are not considered.
Options
Consider Moments - Legs Distribute Leg Loads As Uniform v Treat Feedline Bundles As Cylinder
Consider Moments - Horizontals Assume Legs Pinned Use ASCE 10 X-Brace Ly Rules
Consider Moments - Diagonals v Assume Rigid Index Plate v Calculate Redundant Bracing Forces
Use Moment Magnification v Use Clear Spans For Wind Area v Ignore Redundant Members in FEA
v Use Code Stress Ratios v Use Clear Spans For KL/r v SR Leg Bolts Resist Compression
v Use Code Safety Factors - Guys v Retension Guys To Initial Tension v All Leg Panels Have Same Allowable
Escalate Ice Bypass Mast Stability Checks Offset Girt At Foundation
Always Use Max Kz v Use Azimuth Dish Coefficients v Consider Feedline Torque
Use Special Wind Profile v Project Wind Area of Appurt. v Include Angle Block Shear Check
Include Bolts In Member Capacity Autocalc Torque Arm Areas Poles
v Leg Bolts Are At Top Of Section v SR Members Have Cut Ends v Include Shear-Torsion Interaction
v Secondary Horizontal Braces Leg v Sort Capacity Reports By Component Always Use Sub-Critical Flow
Use Diamond Inner Bracing (4 Sided) v Triangulate Diamond Inner Bracing Use Top Mounted Sockets
Add IBC .6D+W Combination
