Tower Input Data

There is a pole section.
This tower is designed using the TIA-222-G standard.
The following design criteria apply:
Basic wind speed of 85 mph.

Structure Class III.

Exposure Category C.
Topographic Category 3.
Crest Height 0.000 ft.
Deflections calculated using a wind speed of 50 mph.
A non-linear (P-delta) analysis was used.
Pressures are calculated at each section.
Stress ratio used in pole design is 1.
Local bending stresses due to climbing loads, feedline supports, and appurtenance mounts are not considered.

Options

Consider Moments - Legs

Consider Moments - Horizontals
Consider Moments - Diagonals
Use Moment Magnification
Use Code Stress Ratios
Use Code Safety Factors - Guys
Escalate Ice
Always Use Max Kz
Use Special Wind Profile
Include Bolts In Member Capacity
Leg Bolts Are At Top Of Section
Secondary Horizontal Braces Leg
Use Diamond Inner Bracing (4 Sided)
Add IBC .6D+W Combination

Distribute Leg Loads As Uniform

Assume Legs Pinned
Assume Rigid Index Plate
Use Clear Spans For Wind Area
Use Clear Spans For KL/r
Retension Guys To Initial Tension
Bypass Mast Stability Checks
Use Azimuth Dish Coefficients
Project Wind Area of Appurt.
Autocalc Torque Arm Areas
SR Members Have Cut Ends
Sort Capacity Reports By Component
Triangulate Diamond Inner Bracing

Treat Feedline Bundles As Cylinder

Use ASCE 10 X-Brace Ly Rules
Calculate Redundant Bracing Forces
Ignore Redundant Members in FEA
SR Leg Bolts Resist Compression
All Leg Panels Have Same Allowable
Offset Girt At Foundation
Consider Feedline Torque
Include Angle Block Shear Check
Poles
Include Shear-Torsion Interaction
Always Use Sub-Critical Flow
Use Top Mounted Sockets
