OBJECTIVES
To examine the existing tower using computer analysis to determine the following:
1. Structural integrity of the tower structure for reacting against the existing plus proposed new
antenna loading.
2. The structural stability (Twist and Sway) of the antenna with the worst loading condition.
3. The structural stability (Twist and Sway) at the top of the tower with existing plus proposed
additional MW antenna.
INTRODUCTION
The general scope of this report includes, but not limited to a description of the existing tower,
existing location and size of all antennas and associated transmission lines and the complete analysis
of this structure under the loading conditions given by the client. The analysis is prepared by
following the relevant guidelines and standards presented in TIA/EIA-222-F Structural Standards
for Steel Antenna Towers and Antenna Supporting Structures.
TOWER ANALYSIS
The analysis of the tower associated with this *** PROJECT 2011 was performed using Weismans
GUYMAST computer program with sub-program named MAST. Tower is treated as a space truss
by the software for the calculation of member forces and mast displacements. Computer input and
partial output printouts are included in this report.
MAST, is a sub-program in the GUYMAST software inventory that is used for analysis of selfsupporting tower structure. The program calculates the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.

Maximum Mast displacement (Tilt and Twist)

Maximum Antenna rotations (Tilt and Twist)
Maximum tension in Mast members
Maximum compression in Mast members
Maximum individual foundation loads
Maximum total loads on foundation

EXISTING STRUCTURE
Page 3

304-99-999-***-Td-0001 Rev. A
The tower under consideration for this analysis is a 70.90m tall, square self-support structure. It is
comprised of A, V & X braced panels tapering from a base width of 7.30m to 1.70m at the top
of the structure. The entire structure is constructed with steel angles for legs and bracings and the
legs are assumed to be of high strength steel with a yield strength of 345 mPa, whereas bracings are
assumed to be of Mild steel with yield strength of 248 mPa. All bolts are ASTM A325 and vary in
size and number depending on the location on the tower.
LOAD CONDITIONS
This analysis report considers the tower existing loading condition (i.e. existing antennas, TX lines
and other appurtenances), plus the proposed additional antenna loading, lines and other
appurtenances for *** Project 2011. The tower has been analyzed under the following climatic
conditions and design standards as per clients requirement.
Analysis 1:
1.

Basic Design/Analysis Wind Speed m/s (160km/hr) gusted.

39.0 m/s (140 km/hr), which is equivalent to 45

2.

TOWER DEFLECTION CALCULATION

Basic wind speed @ 39m/s:
The maximum calculated tower tilt/twist at basic wind speed of 39m/s is 0.778. Therefore, the
maximum calculated tilt/twist at a basic operational wind speed of 28m/s is:
(28/39) (0.778)

0.401 < Allowable 0.50 tilt / twist

OK!

CONCLUSION
Provided in this package is the essential information about the tower as analyzed for the basic wind
speeds of 39m/s & 35m/s for the addition 2 new MW antenna at Site no. 304-99-999 The data
provided includes maximum leg, diagonal & horizontal member compression against its allowable
value, also maximum individual foundation loads for the new and existing loading.
The tower does meet the basic wind speed of 39m/s & 35 m/s with existing and new loading
condition as the leg member force and diagonal member forces at some elevation along the
tower IS LESSER THAN the member capacities including BOLT & BASE PLATE Usage
Criteria as shown in the respective Bolt Capacity & Base Plate Thickness vs Actual loads.
Also the tower (top mast) meets the allowable 0.5 deflection for both the Basic wind speed of
39m/s & 35m/s, as required by the clients project technical requirement for tower
displacement.
Page 10

304-99-999-***-Td-0001 Rev. A
On the foundation base on the analysis of 39m/s of wind speed the imposed load has exceeded a
0.525% as against the existing capacity which is ACCEPTABLE to consider, however by
considering on the analysis of 35m/s of wind speed base on the table above the existing capacity is
greater than 0.430% as against the new load imposed thus, an indication of large safety margin.
The result of the analysis above indicates that the existing 70.90m high self-support Non
Standard tower can safely support the existing and new loading condition for the basic wind
speed of 39m/s and of 35 m/s.
