    This document summarizes the design adequacy check for tower bracing members. It provides the basic design data, member properties, load combinations considered, and calculations to determine the allowable compressive load capacity of the bracing member. The calculations show the bracing member has an allowable compressive load capacity of 255.35 kips, which exceeds the actual compressive load of 15.42 kips. Therefore, the bracing member is determined to be adequate.

    Cc= 126.116 is < Cc- Eqn. 1 is valid See Equations 1 and 2 for "Fa" below. fy= E= 36 29000 ,(KL / r)

    = 84.06752 Cc= 126.116 /Cc = 0.667

    Due to the compactness of

    bracing, Qs is not applicabe. Say Fa= 102.717 From equation ..2 Qs= 1 (Say) Since kl/r> 120-Fas is Fas' calculated as below = FasxQs Fas' Fas= Fa/(1.6-(KL/200R) = 87.073 = 87.073 .Allowable compressive load capacity of the bracing member ( Fac=Fas' x A = 192.00 Fac). Allowable compressive load capacity of the bracing member can be increased by 33 % to acountfor wind loaded members, ( Refer Item 3.1.1.1 of TIA/EIA-222F) the allowable compressive load capacity of the bracing member is= Unity factor Compressive load in bracing = 15.42 =
