50m SS TOWER

1. GENERAL REMARKS
Antenna Tower for 50 m. height is designed as Lattice type self-supporting tower. The total design
wind load includes the sum of the horizontal forces applied to the tower itself in the direction of the wind
and the design wind load on discrete appurtenances (antennas, ladder, cables...).
Total design effected antenna for this type is 32.37m2 to 38m2 and 167 mm/m vertical cable area (~100
mm/m effective area,according to Euronorm, 60% reduction factor can be used for accessories at the
inside of the tower) along the tower.
This tower shall be capable of withstanding a maximum wind speed of 145 km/hr to 151.2km/hr at
above 10 m. from ground level and it will be increased with height according to EIA standard.
Operational wind speed is 101.5 km/hr to 105.8 km/hr and under operational wind load maximum
displacement, twist and sway at top of tower should be less than 0,50.
The maximum member stresses and structure reactions are determined considering the wind directions
resulting in maximum wind forces and twisting moments. According to EIA -222 F standard, for
structures under 213 m. in height, allowable stresses may be increased 1/3 for each load combinations.

5.2 WIND LOAD CALCULATION ON TOWER AND ACCESSORIES

5.2.1 WIND LOAD ON TOWER BODY(TIA-EIA-222-F)

For latticed structures, the total design wind load shall include the sum of the horizontal forces applied
to the structure in the direction of the wind and the design wind load on discrete appurtenances. The
horizontal force(F) applied to each section of the structure shall be calculated from the equations:

F = qz xGHx [CFAE+sum(CAAA)]
where

qz = Velocity pressure = 0.613 x Kz x V2

(PA)

GH=0.65+0.60/(h/10)1/7 for h in meters

qz = Velocity pressure (Pa)
Kz = (z/10)2/7 for z in meters.....................1.00<Kz<2.58
V = Basic wind speed for the structure location (kph) =40.28 m/s
CF =4.0e2-5.9e+4.0 (square cross section)
e = Solidity Ratio = (AF+AR)/AG
AF = Projected area (m2) of flat structural components in one face of the section
AR = Projected area (m2) of round structural components in oe face of the section
AE = DFAF+DRARRR (m2)
RR = 0.51 e2+0.57
AG = Gross area of one tower face (m2)
DF = Wind direction factor (flat component) = 1.0 (for square cross section & normal )
DR = Wind direction factor (round component) = 1.0 (for square cross section & normal )

6.STRUCTURAL CALCULATION
6.1 GENERAL INFORMATION
ALLOWABLE STRESSES:
TOWER MEMBERS :
The allowable stresses of tower members conform to AISC specification and are computed as follows
Minimum yield stress :Fy
Ultimate tensile strength :Fu
Compression Members :
Comp. Cap= Design Stress (Fa) x Gross cross section area
if KL/r < Cc
Fa = [ (1 - 0.5 {(KL/r)/Cc}2 ) Fy ] SI/ SF1
SF1 = 5/3 + (3/8) { (KL/r)/Cc} - (1/8){ (KL/r)/Cc}3
Fa= [ 2 E/ (KL/r)2 ] SI / SF2
if KL/r > Cc
SF2 = 23/12
Cc = x SQRT {(2E/Fy)}
SI = allowable stress increase factor ( 1.33 allowed for short structures)
For compression members with L/r< 120 , the effective slenderness ratio KL/r in above equation is ;
KL/r = L/r.......................................................for no eccentricity at both ends (eccentricity code IECC=1,
curve1)
KL/r = 30+0.75L/r........................................for eccentricity at one end only (eccentricity code IECC=2,
curve2)
KL/r = 60+0.5L/r..........................................for eccentricities at both ends (eccentricity code IECC=3,
curve3)
For members with L/r> 120 , the effective slenderness ratio is ;
KL/r = L/r............................................................for member unrestrained at both ends (restraint code
IRES=1, curve4)
KL/r = 28.6+0.762L/r........................................for partial restraint at one end only (restraint code
IRES=2, curve5)
KL/r = 46.2+0.615L/r........................................for partial restraint at both ends (restraint code IRES=3,
curve6)
Tension Members :
The allowable tension capacity of an angle member is the smallest of :
Tens. Cap = 0.5 Fu x Net cross section area An
or
Tens. Cap = 0.6 Fy x Gross cross section area Ag
The net cross section area An is the gross cross-sectional area Ag minus the loss due to holes or other
openings at the section being investigated. The diameter of a hole is specified as a bolt diameter with 1.1
mm. hole tolerances.

50m SS TOWER
BOLTED CONNECTIONS :
The allowable shear capacity of a bolted angle connection is :
SHEAR CAP = Shear capacity (Fv) of one bolt x Number of bolts
Fv = Fy x 0.62 / 1.67
The bearing capacity of a bolted connections is:
BEAR CAP = Bearing Area x Fu x 1.2
where the bearing area is the bolt diameter times the thickness of the connected part and Fu is the
specified minimum unit tensile strength of the member.

Deflection Check :
X DISPLACEMENT AT NODE AP = 0.1523m FOR 45 DEG LOADING
Y DISPLACEMENT AT NODE AP = 0.1523m FOR 45 DEG LOADING
TANGENTIAL DISPLACEMENT AT NODE AP = 0.2154m FOR 45 DEG LOADING

X DISPLACEMENT AT NODE 15S = 0.1404m FOR 45 DEG LOADING

Y DISPLACEMENT AT NODE 15S = 0.1404m FOR 45 DEG LOADING
TANGENTIAL DISPLACEMENT AT NODE 15S = 0.1986m FOR 45 DEG LOADING

ARC TANGEN = (0.2154-0.1986)/2 = 0.48DEG < 0.50 DEG

: Load condition for which max compression usage is got
: Load condition for which max tension usage is got
: Member slenderness capaciy
: Connection shear capacity in compression
: Connection shear capacity in tension
: Connection bearing capacity in compression

: Number of bolts taken to compute net section

**
IN PLS-TOWER, DEAD WEIGHT OF EACH MEMBER IS CALCULATED
AUTOMATICALLY. ON THE OTHER HAND, DEAD LOAD OF THE MODEL IS INCREASE
BY 40% CONSIDERING WEIGHTS OF BOLTS, PLATES, REDUNDANTS AND
GALVANIZATION.
*** PLS-TOWER COMPUTES THE WIND AFFECT ON THE TOWER MEMBERS
AUTOMATICALLY. THE PROJECTED AREA OF MEMBERS IN THE DIRECTION OF WIND
ARE COMPUTED AND WIND LOADS ARE APPLIED TO RELEVANT JOINTS.
