This Standard is intended to replace the Standard ANSI/TIA-1019-2004, “Structural Standards for Steel Gin Poles Used for Installation of Antenna Towers and Antenna Supporting Structures". Information contained in this Standard was obtained from available sources and represents, in the judgment of the subcommittee, the accepted Industry minimum standard for the installation, alteration and maintenance of antenna supporting structures and antennas. While it is believed to be accurate, this information should not be relied upon for a specific application without competent professional examination and verification of its accuracy, suitability, and applicability. It is the intent of this Standard to have Owners specify this Standard for projects and to have Contractors follow the Standard in their work. SCOPE The scope of this Standard is to provide construction considerations and loading requirements for structures under construction related to antenna supporting structures and antennas. The Standard addresses the requirements for specialized equipment such as: gin poles, hoists and required temporary supports. This Standard provides criteria based upon both Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) and Allowable Stress Design (ASD) methods. Figures and drawings in this Standard are for illustration purposes only and are not intended to represent all potential aspects of a particular lift or rigging situation. It is the responsibility of the user to determine an appropriate rigging plan in accordance with this Standard for construction activities accounting for all loads, forces and reactions. 3ANSITIAA019-4 1.

Scope This section describes the considerations and processes to investigate strength and stability when installing, removing or altering antenna supporting structures or antennas and when adding or removing appurtenances and construction equipment. 2.2, Rigging Plans All construction shall be classified in accordance with Table 2-1 based on the scope of the proposed construction work, Proposed activities shall be outlined in a written rigging plan prior to implementation of Class Il, IIl and IV construction. The minimum level of responsibilty for establishing a rigging plan is specified in Table 2-1 2.2.1. Rigging Plan Requirements ‘An onsite Competent Rigger shall be identified for all classes of construction for identifying hazards and for authorizing prompt corrective measures as required. For Class Ill and IV Construction, a Qualified Person shall coordinate the involvement of a Qualified Engineer as required (i. satisfying Sections 2.7 Temporary Supports, Section 4 Supporting Structure Loading, etc.) when establishing rigging plans. A Qualified Engineer shall perform the analysis of structures and/or components for Class IV Construction. 2.2.2. Rigging Plan Considerations The rigging plan shall consider the following in accordance with this Standard as applicable: a) Operational and non-operational construction loads (refer to Section 4.3). b) Construction equipment. ©) Supporting structure. d) Construction sequence and duration. €) Required load testing and field monitoring. Note: Refer to Annex D for a rigging plan template. 2.3. Construction Equipment 2.3.1. General Considerations The effects on the structure from heel (base) blocks, crown (top) blocks and other similar connection devices that apply horizontal and vertical forces to the structure shall be considered. "ANSITIA-1019-A, When placing blocks on a structure, as a minimum, the following loading considerations shall be taken into account when sizing the rigging and determining the effects on the structure: a) Location of hoist with respect to the structure, b) Angle between the line passing through the block. ©) Angle between the slings supporting the block. d) Sling attachment location To minimize loads on the structure it is preferable to attach heel blocks to foundations with adequate anchorages, refer to Figure 2-1. In situations where heel blocks are attached to a structure, care shall be taken to ensure that the load on the structure does not create undesirable conditions such as; unacceptable structure twist, member deformation, connection overloading, etc. Connections shall be sized for the expected maximum forces and reactions of the rigging system in accordance with this Standard, Slings shall be attached to the supporting structure preferably at panel points, but in all cases shall be with a connection that avoids slippage and prevents damage to structural members or tower appurtenances. Wire rope fleet angles for sheaves or blocks shall be limited to a 1:12 slope (5 degrees) 2.3.2. Operational Wind Speed Considerations Lifts are generally performed under operational wind speeds up to 30 mph 3-second gusts. For higher wind speeds, a plan shall be established taking into consideration site and structure conditions, tagging required to control the lift, rigging operations, and emergency tie-off procedures. Note: Lifts shall not be performed in winds exceeding equipment manufacturer's specifications. 2.4. Lifting Devices The capacity of a lifting device, i.e. cranes, gin poles, etc., shall be the lower of the manufacturers’ capacity (load charts) or the capacity of the device or the supporting structure calculated in accordance with this Standard. A gin pole is a device typically attached to a structure in an arrangement as shown in Figures 3-1a and 3-1b. 2.4.1. Gin Pole Classifications Gin poles shall be classified according to the following based on the minimum load line diameter, d, required to be used with the gin pole: Class Stee! Wire Load Line Size A ds 5/16" B 5/16" < ds 7/16" Cc 7N6" << 9/16" D d> 9/16" 12ANSITIA-1019-A All gin poles using a load line other than steel shall be classified as Class A gin poles for all load line diameters. Notes: 1. The load line diameters required to be used with the gin pole rooster sheave are listed in a Standard Load Chart in accordance with Section 3. 2. The safe lifted load for a gin pole depends on many factors, such as load line angle, cantilever height, etc., as outlined in this Standard. Safe lifted loads may be significantly less than the working load limit (WLL) of the load line. Refer to Section 3. 3. Gin pole class is based on load line diameter regardless of the number of parts of line. 2.5. Gin Pole Jumping and Lifting Gin pole reactions on a structure during lifting or jumping shall be investigated. The investigation shall consider the effects of local forces and bending moments on individual structural members. 2.6. Hoist 2.6.1. Anchorage The hoist anchorage, as a minimum, shall have a working load limit (calculated with 2.0 safety factor) equal to or greater than the maximum anticipated hoist load. Alternately, a proof load of 1.5 times the maximum anticipated hoist load under the expected site conditions during the lift may be used to verify the adequacy of the hoist anchorage. Twisting, turning and sliding resistance shall be investigated, When calculating sliding resistance, the coefficient of friction shall not exceed 0.20 unless the coefficient of friction is determined by a qualified engineer. The weight of the hoist shall be considered with the minimum load line remaining on the drum for the lift When personnel are lifted, the maximum anticipated hoist load shall not exceed 50% of the hoist anchorage capacity, Note: A 1.5 proof load less than the required 2.0 safety factor for a working load limit is justified by the verification of actual site resistances. 2.6.2. Proof Loading Proof loads shall not exceed the working load limit of any component or load line based on a 3.5 safety factor. Note: The controlled conditions and duration of a proof load test justify a 3.5 safety factor versus the safety factors required for actual lifted load conditions in accordance with Section 2.9 13ANSUTIA-1019-4 2.6.3. Hoist Mechanisms Selection, use and operation of hoist mechanisms shall be in accordance with ANSI/ASME B30.7-2006, “Base-Mounted Drum Hoists", and in addition when lifting personnel NATE, “Base Mounted Hoist Mechanism Design and Use Standard for Lifting Personnel While Working on Telecommunications Structures’, 2003. 2.6.4, Capstan Hoists Anchorage of capstan hoists shall be in accordance with Section 2.6.1. Capstan hoists shall not be used to raise or lower personnel or to lift loads directly over personnel The operator shall be properly trained on the operation of the capstan hoist. The number of wraps of rope on the capstan drum shall be consistent with the magnitude of the lift load and manufacturer's recommendation. The number of wraps on the drum shall be limited to prevent the rope from riding over the end of the drum. Precautions shall be taken to prevent entanglement of other lines with the capstan ope. A rope splice shall not be in contact with the capstan drum. 2.7. Temporary Supports The potential for partial or complete collapse of a structure may exist when constructing, dismantling or altering structural components of a structure. A procedure defining critical steps in the process shall be provided and followed by the Tigging crew during all phases of the work. Such a procedure shall take into consideration temporary reinforcing of members to support the structure while structural components are disconnected or altered and the potential of guy slippage. The procedure shall account for the loading conditions in Section 4. 2.7.1. Structural Members ‘Temporary members capable of supporting the loading conditions in Section 4. shall be provided when removing a structural member, such as a diagonal, horizontal or vertical member, refer to Figures 2-2 a, b, c, & d, except when a structural analysis indicates otherwise and is documented in the rigging plan. 2.7.2. Guy Replacement ‘Temporary guys capable of supporting the loading conditions referenced in Section 4. are required when replacing existing guys, refer to Figure 2-3, except when a structural analysis indicates otherwise and is documented in the rigging plan. Vertical alignment, reduction of initial guy tensions, local structure forces and eccentric connections at guy anchors shall be considered in the rigging plan. The strength requirements of temporary guys shall comply with Section 2.7.5. 2.7.3. Guy Anchorage Inspection, Replacement or Alteration Temporary supports shall be considered throughout foundation inspection, replacement or alteration activities. Temporary supports shall meet the loading conditions of Section 4. When inspection of an anchorage determines degradation of the anchor may be significant, the use of temporary supports shall be considered 14ANSITIA-1019-4 When removal of overburden is required, the removal shall be completed with a process approved by a Qualified Engineer. 2.7.4. Cantilever Length of Guyed Mast Guyed mast cantilever lengths above guys shall not exceed the length capable of supporting the loading conditions in Section 4. which include the load effects of a gin pole or other lifting devices. Temporary guys or other strengthening measures may be required, Note: Loads during construction may subject leg splice connections of guyed masts to high tension forces. 2.7.5, Temporary Guys The breaking strength of temporary guy assemblies shall not be less than 50% of the breaking strength of the guy assemblies being installed or replaced unless an analysis is completed in accordance with Section 4 2.8. Guy Installation Guys shall be installed in a manner to minimize unbalanced lateral forces applied to the mast. During guy installation, the mast shall be capable of supporting the loading conditions in Section 4. including the effects of unequal guy forces. In lieu of a structural analysis, the structure shall be monitored during guy installation to maintain vertical alignment of 1/120 (ratio of horizontal movement to the larger of the. two adjacent guy spans) or the value specified in the rigging plan. The potential for guy release or slippage shall be considered in the rigging plan. During guy tensioning, when using guy connections that may result in slippage (refer to Annex E), the strength of the structure shall be investigated in accordance with one of the methods outlined in Section 2.8.1. The requirements of Section 2.8.1 may be waived when temporary guys with non-slip connections are used or when redundant non-slip guy connections are used to limit guy slippage to the larger of 12 inches or 50% of the mast face width but not greater than 24 inches. Guy connections that may result in slippage without redundant non-slip connections shall not be used for overnight conditions. 2.8.1 Methods to Determine Adequacy of Structure to Survive Guy Slippage One of the following methods shall be used to investigate guy slippage: 1. Verify that member strengths, including leg splice tensile strengths, in the affected span are adequate to resist the moment resulting from a horizontal load equal to two times the resultant horizontal component of the tension in the remaining guys applied at the guy elevation where slippage is assumed to occur. 2.

A physical inspection (i.e. measurements, ultrasonic inspection, drilling of holes, etc.) shall be performed when the necessary data is not otherwise available. 18ANSITIA-1019-A Existing structures andor antennas shall be inspected for signs of deterioration (i. corrosion, stress cracking, overloading, damage, etc.). Remedial repairs shall be performed as needed or the deterioration shall be considered in the structural analysis for the rigging plan. Lifted loads shall be field verified prior to the lift unless the weight is confirmed by the ‘Competent Rigger or Qualified Person. Note: Weight verification may be accomplished by loosening fasteners or by providing longer fasteners to allow movement while maintaining control of the load. If the load is not lifted at the estimated weight, the lift shall be aborted and the load shall be secured. The weight of the lift and its effect on the rigging plan shall be evaluated. 2.12. Load Testing and Verification Load testing and verification of the operation of the rigging system (gin pole, blocks, hoist, load line, tag line, etc.), when required in the rigging plan, shall include the following: a) Perform a hoist anchorage load test, if required, in accordance with Section 26.1. b) Raise and lower a load an appropriate distance to verify all moving parts function properly ©) Verify the deflections under a lifted load (tagged as appropriate) are within anticipated magnitudes. 4) Inspect all components of the rigging system, including anchorages, for proper arrangement and operating condition. 2.13, Monitoring During Lifting Operations During lifting operations, the tip deflection of a gin pole and the horizontal position of the load line at the bridle shall be monitored.

GIN POLE OPERATION AND USE 3.4, Scope This section describes the use, positioning, general rigging and inspections for a gin pole. 3.2. Gin Pole Components ‘The main parts of the gin pole are the mast, rooster head, bridle attachment points, basket sling attachment points, track, jump line, load line, and tag line. The user shall have an understanding of the positioning, loading conditions, attachment points, and pertinent lifting arrangements associated with the use of a particular gin pole. 3.2.1. Mast This standard defines criteria for gin pole masts made from steel. Refer to Section 6.2.2 for gin pole masts made from different materials or a combination of materials. Most gin poles are constructed of triangular or square latticed cross sections, although small poles may be of single or built-up standard structural shapes. The mast may have tapered sections at the bottom and top to help reduce the potential of objects catching on the pole and to allow room for rigging equipment while turning a lifted load into position 3.2.2. Rooster Head The rooster head is located at the top of the gin pole. Refer to Figure 3-3. The side plates shall have bolts or pins with spacers around the sheave so the load line is held in place and side plate distance is controlled. The sheave diameter and groove shall be compatible with the load line size. The distance between the sheave edge and the side plate shall not exceed 25% of load line diameter unless a mechanical means is provided to contain the load line within the sheave groove. 3.2.3. Track Tracks are generally used to guide and support Class B and larger gin poles during the jumping process. Tracks shall not be used as a bridle or mid-level support unless specifically designed for such use. 3.2.4. Load Line The load line is used to raise and lower the intended load. The number of parts of line, N, indicates the number of lines supporting the traveling block (refer to Figure 5- 2 for typical load part configurations). The load line tension is equal to the lifted load divided by the number of parts of line. 3.2.5. Jump Line In a typical jump line arrangement, the jump line is used to reposition the gin pole by raising and lowering the gin pole to the desired location. The jump line leaves the hoist on the ground, goes through a block at the base of the tower, up through a 27ANSITIA-1019-A, block on the tower or track, then down to a specific location on the gin pole. It is common for larger gin poles to have multiple part lines to lift the gin pole. 3.2.6. Tag Line In a typical tag line arrangement, the tag line is used to control the load during the lifting or lowering process. Two common methods of tagging are the straight tag and the trolley tag. These methods are shown in Figures 3-1a & b respectively. Tag line forces generally are relaxed or removed when the lifted load reaches the bridle elevation. A straight tag is attached directly to the load. A trolley tag is run through a block attached to the load and is terminated below the top of the gin pole or on the supporting structure, Lifts utilizing other tag configurations are considered as Special Engineered Lifts in accordance with Section 3.7. 3.2.7. Bridle and Basket Support Gin pole attachments to a structure typically consist of bridle and basket supports as shown in Figure 3-4. The bridle (upper) support, as a minimum, provides lateral ‘support. The basket (lower) support provides vertical and lateral support. The bridle and basket supports are preferably attached to the supporting structure at panel points. All connections must be made with connections that avoid slippage and prevents damage to structural members and appurtenances. Chains or wire rope slings with manufactured eyes and thimbles shall be used for basket supports when liffing personnel or for Class B or larger gin poles due to the critical nature of the support and the potential damage from sharp edges, etc. 3.3. _Lifting Personnel ‘When personnel are lifted by a gin pole, a 50% reduction shall be applied to the gin pole lifted load capacity. Refer to Section 2.10 for additional requirements. 3.4. Gin Pole Inspections Gin poles shall have documented inspections as follows: a) A Competent Rigger shall perform a general visual inspection after assembly prior to use on a specific project. Documentation that the visual inspection has been completed shall remain on site for the duration of the project, b) A Qualified Person shall perform a detailed visual inspection in accordance with Section 3.4.1 each calendar year of regular service or prior to use if the pole has been out of service for more than a year or after any abnormal occurrence. Written annual inspection reports shall be maintained for a minimum of two years. 28ANSITIA-1019-A 3.4.1, Detailed Visual Gin Pole Inspection A detailed visual inspection shall be performed for the following items: a) Structural members, track, bridle, basket and jump line attachment points for deformation, wear, defects, cracks and corrosion. b) Welds for any defects ©) Fasteners for condition and tightness. d) Rooster head side plates for distortion, sheave wear, and bearings for proper lubrication and movement. €) Gin pole sections for correct order, placement and straightness. f) Rigging hardware for proper installation. 3.4.2. Detailed Weld Inspections A detailed weld inspection in accordance with AWS D1.1, “Structural Welding Code — Steel", shall be performed on a minimum 10-year cycle and also for the purpose of placing an existing gin pole into service for determining conformance with this standard. Visual weld inspection shall be performed on 100% of the welded connections. Non-destructive testing shall be performed on a minimum of 10% of the welded connections. Documentation of weld inspections shall be maintained over the life of a gin pole. 3.4.3. _ Inspections for Gin Pole Engineering Analysis A written detailed annual inspection report and relevant weld inspection reports are required for the evaluation of an existing gin pole. Refer to Annex C for other data required to analyze an existing gin pole. 3.4.4. Field Tolerances The specified straightness tolerances in Section 6.2.5 shall be used for inspection limitations unless otherwise specified by the Qualified Engineer. 3.4.5. Inspections for Rigging Equipment Rigging equipment (i.e. cables, slings, shackles, hooks, etc.) shall be inspected daily or before each use when not used daily. Defective equipment shall be immediately removed from service. 3.5. Load Charts A Standard Load Chart shall be developed in accordance with Section 5 for all vertical or near vertical gin poles intended to be used for construction. The purpose of a Standard Load Chart is to establish safe lifted loads for a specific gin pole based on strength and deflection limitations. Standard Load Charts shall, as a minimum, provide the information shown in the template provided in Figure 3-5. Safe lifted loads shall not exceed the capacity of the gin pole or the working load limit (WLL) of the load line, rigging components and the supporting structure. 29ANSITIA-1019-4, 3.5.1. Lifting Personnel When personnel are lifted, the total lifted load including tools, etc. shall not exceed 50% of a gin pole's lifting capacity. This is required due to the higher margin of safety required when lifting personnel. In addition, personnel shall not be lifted simultaneously with other construction loads. 3.5.2, Tag Configuration Standard Load Charts apply to gin poles utilizing a straight tag configuration. The charted gross load capacities (safe lifted loads) for a Standard Load Chart are based on the specified tag angles when the lifted load is at the bridle elevation. It is assumed that the tag line is relaxed or removed when the load is lifted above the bridle elevation. Other tag arrangements shall be considered as Special Engineered Lifts in accordance with Section 3.7 except as specified in Section 3.5.7. 3.5.3. Gin Pole Capacity The capacity of the gin pole may be governed by the strength of the gin pole components, the overall buckling capacity of the gin pole or by the maximum gin pole tip defiection allowed by this Standard. The governing capacity is charted in a Standard Load Chart. Standard Load Charts apply to conditions where the wind speed does not exceed a 30 mph 3-second gust at any elevation during the lift. Lifts required to be performed under higher wind conditions are considered as Special Engineered Lifts in accordance with Section 3.7. The gross load for a lift shall not exceed the charted gross load capacity (safe lifted load) in the Standard Load Chart for the gin pole used or the working load limit (WLL) of the load line. Linear interpolation may be used to determine gross load capacities in between the charted values. The gross load shall include the total weight of the lifted load, the headache ball, the load line on the load side of the rooster head, the tag line, and all associated rigging. When load charts are developed in accordance with this Standard which considers tag line forces (refer to Figure 6-1), tag line forces are not required to be added to the gross load. Note: The weight of load line on the gin pole side of the rooster head reduces the hoist force required and is not included in the determination of the gross load. 3.5.4, Load Line Position Angle The charted gross load capacities in a Standard Load Chart are based on limiting the location of the load line at the bridle elevation to the values of Hiace and Hieg charted in a Standard Load Chart. Tagging must be limited to ensure that the location of the load line is kept within the charted values. The limiting location of the load line can be conveniently referenced to the no-load condition using the angle @, (charted load line position angle) as shown on the ‘Standard Load Chart template in Figure 3-5. From this angle, the limiting positions of the load fine from the gin pole, Hiace and Hieg, are determined based on the gin pole's cantilever height, La, the rooster head’s standoff distance, Ret, and the gin pole's cross sectional dimensions. 30ANSITIA-1019-A Lifted load capacities cannot be increased for 8, values less than the lowest value of @, indicated in a load chart unless the lift is considered as a Special Engineered Lift in accordance with Section 3.7. The determination of gross load capacities in accordance with Section 5 requires a minimum offset of the load line to be considered to account for unavoidable movements of a lifted load during a lift (refer to Figure 3-7). The angle, @,, is useful in determining the position of the load line referenced from the no-load condition (refer to Figures 3-2 and 3-6). As shown in Figure 3-8, the angle of the load line with the vertical reduces as the gin pole tip deflects under loading. The load line may need to be moved in towards the gin pole (reducing the tag force and load line angle) as the gin pole tip deflects under loading in order to keep the load line within the limiting horizontal distance from the bridle, Hace OF Hieg- The load line angle from the vertical is not intended to be monitored during a lift. The load line angle is difficult to measure and also continually changes as the gin pole tip deflects. Allowing or expecting the load line angle to increase to the charted value of @, as the tip deflects during a lift would result in the load line position exceeding the charted values of Hace and Hieg and may significantly reduce the capacity of the gin pole. Controlling, maintaining and monitoring the load line within Hace and Hieg at the bridle is critical in order to avoid overloading the gin pole. 3.5.5. Gin Pole Tip Deflection Gin pole tip deflections, Hyp, are charted in a Standard Load Chart for the purpose of monitoring the tip deflection during a lift. The charted values of the horizontal position of the load line at the bridle and the charted value of tip deflection shall not be exceeded during a lift. Monitoring the tip deflection of the gin pole is a safeguard against unknowingly lifting loads that may exceed the capacity of the gin pole (i. if the weight of the lifted load was miscalculated, if load lines become constrained, if the load line is tagged too far out, etc.). Monitoring tip deflection also provides a means to detect situations when the supporting structure movement becomes extreme. Note: The tip deflection, Hyp, is the horizontal tip deflection at the top of the gin pole relative to the bridle connection since the gin pole at the bridle location will undergo a horizontal displacement due to the displacement of the supporting structure during the lift 3.5.6. Gin Pole Reactions Gin pole reactions are provided on a Standard Load Chart in order to evaluate connections to the supporting structure (i.e. bridle and basket attachments, etc.). The charted reactions do not include an impact factor as impact factors are assumed to be included in the safety factors used to determine working load limits (WLL) for load lines, tag lines, slings and other rigging hardware. Sizing of attachments to the supporting structure must also account for sling angles, strength efficiency factors for end terminations and line wrap diameter ratios, Dw/d (refer to Annex E). 31ANSITIA-1019-A, Gin pole reactions are also provided to evaluate the strength and stability of the supporting structure. The charted gin pole reactions in a Standard Load Chart must be multiplied by a 1.3 impact factor in accordance with Section 4 as indicated in the template in Figure 3-5. This is required because impact factors are considered differently for the evaluation of supporting structures compared to the sizing of rigging. 3.5.7. Trolley Tag Configurations A Standard Load Chart for a straight tag configuration may be used for a trolley tag configuration under the following conditions: a) Trolley tag upper connection is attached to the gin pole or structure at an elevation 10 feet or more below the top of the gin pole b) Load line position angle, 8., does not exceed 7 degrees. ©) Upper tag line angle to vertical does not exceed the load line position angle, @. by more than 7 degrees. This may be accomplished by monitoring the horizontal distance to the tag line at the bridle elevation along with the horizontal distance to the load line. The maximum horizontal distance to the tag line from the gin pole, Hiss, may be calculated using the following equation: Hig = Liftan(@. + 7 deg.)) where: Hyg = maximum horizontal distance to tag line from gin pole at bridle, inches L, = distance to tag attachment point on gin pole above bridle, inches ® = load line position angle, degrees All other trolley tag configurations shall be considered as Special Engineered Lifts in accordance with Section 3.7. 3.6. Tilted Gin Poles Titled gin poles have cable supports that support the gin pole in a titled configuration. Special load charts are required for tilted gin poles. The load line may pass through or outside the gin pole over the rooster head to a load block attached to the supporting structure. Typical configurations of titled gin poles are depicted in Figure 3-9. The gross load capacity of a titled gin pole shall be based on the load line and support configuration in accordance with this Standard, including the applicable Tequirements for gin poles used in a vertical or near vertical position When a tag is used, the increase in load line force shall be considered. A load chart for a gin pole in a tilted position shall contain the following minimum information: a) Identification number, pole size and class. b) Impact factor considered. ©) Overall gin pole length, L, and cantilever length, Ls. d) Rooster head identification and capacity 32ANSITIA-1019-4 e) Load line sizes and number of parts. f) Effective length factors, K, considered (refer to Annex B). 9) Gross load capacities, W,, as a function of tlt angles, 6 h) Tag line force and angle if used. i) Reactions at attachment points and a statement that requires the reactions to be multiplied by a 1.3 impact factor for the evaluation of the supporting structure. i) The effective wind speed considered at the elevation of the gin pole. k) A statement that the gross load when lifting personnel shall not exceed 50% of the charted gin pole values and that other construction loads shall not be lifted simultaneously. Due to the configuration and magnitudes of tip deflections, monitoring of tip deflections for titled gin poles is not required. Tip deflections are therefore not required to be charted in a load chart for titled gin poles. 3.7. Special Engineered Lifts Lifts outside the parameters of a Standard Load Chart or a tilted gin pole load chart shall be considered as Special Engineered Lifts. Special Engineered Lifts shall be planned under the direction of a Qualified Engineer in accordance with the requirements of this Standard, The minimum load line position angles, Qcnin, from Figure 3-7 do not apply for Special Engineering Lifts. The load line position angle, 0c, for gin poles used in the vertical or near vertical position shall not be considered less than 1 degree to account for uncertainties during a lifting operation The deflection of the supporting structure shall be monitored during a Special Engineered Lift in addition to the monitoring of the gin pole tip deflection and the location of the load line. Documentation of the gin pole and support structure deflections shall be maintained during the lift ‘As a minimum, a Special Engineered Lift shall consider the following: a) Gin pole supports and orientation. b) Lifted load accuracy. ©) Load line restraint within gin pole. d) Load line position. e) Tag line angles and forces. f) Trolley tag attachment location. 9) Wind conditions. h) Gin pole tip deflection limitations. i) Supporting structure deflection limitations. i) Rigging requirements. k) Support structure attachment capacities. |) Stiffness and strength of supporting structure. 33ANSITIA-1019-A, ROOSTER HEAD -— HEADACHE BALL — suiNes.

SUPPORTING STRUCTURE LOADING 441. Scope This section describes loadings that shall be considered during construction. 4.2. — Design Standards The provisions of ANSI/TIA-222-G shall be used for the basis of LRFD. The provisions of ANSI/TIA-222-F shall be used for the basis of ASD. A 1/3" increase in allowable stress shall not be used and the safety factor for guy assemblies shall be equal to 2.5. The load factor used for reinforced concrete shall be 1.7. 4.3. Structural Loads Operational construction loads, C1, are applied to the structure by the rigging system and the loads being lifted during operation under nominal wind loading conditions. ‘A minimum impact factor, Ic, equal to 1.3 shall be applied to operational construction loads in accordance with Section 4.4. Non-operational construction loads, C2, are applied to the structure by the rigging system, material, equipment or loading to be considered when lifting is not performed. Non-operational loads are to account for the varying stages of construction. Operational wind loads, W,, are determined using a uniform effective 30 mph wind speed (K;, Gp, I and Ky equal to 1.0). Wind shall be considered to occur from the directions that result in the maximum member forces and reactions. Non-operational wind loads, W2, are determined using the 50-year 3-second gust basic wind speed for the location multiplied by the appropriate construction duration reduction factor in accordance with Section 4.5. Proposed temporary guys, supports and bracing shall be considered in the investigation of a supporting structure. Loads such as snow, ice, rain, and earthquake are not considered due to the low probability of occurrence during construction. Appropriate contingency plans may be required in regions subject to heavy and frequent ice loading. Guy slippage shall be investigated in accordance with Section 2.8.1 when guy connections subject to slippage are used (refer to Annex E). 44ANSITIA-1019-A, 4.4. Load Combinations 4.4.1. LRFD Structures shall be evaluated such that their design strength equals or exceeds the load effects of the factored loads in each of the following limit state load combinations: 1.2Ds+1.0Dg+1.61C;+1.6W; 0.9 Ds + 1.0 Dg + 1.6 1,C; + 1.6 Wy 1.2 Ds + 1.0 Dg + 1.6 Co+1.6 We 0.9 Ds + 1.0 Dg + 1.6 Cz + 1.6 W2 4.4.2. ASD Structures shall be evaluated such that their allowable strength equals or exceeds the required strength determined in each of the following load combinations: 1.0 Ds +1.0Dg+1.01.C;+1.0W; 0.6 Ds + 1.0Dg + 1.01.C: + 1.0 Wy 1.0 Ds + 1.0 Dg + 1.0 Cz + 1.0 We 0.6 Ds + 1.0 Dg + 1.0 C2 + 1.0 We 4.4.3. Supporting Structure Service Load Combination For the purposes of calculating deflection expected during monitoring, the following load combination shall be used: 1.0D+1.0Dg+1.0C Note: The calculated deflection for monitoring deflection during lifting operations does not include deflection due to wind loading. The calculated deflection is the relative deflection that would be expected due to the lifted load assuming a constant wind before and during the lift. 4.5. Construction Duration Reduction Factors Reduction factors may be applied to design wind speeds for determining non- operational wind loads, Ws, based on the duration that the structure is planned to be in the construction configuration under investigation. Reduction factors shall not be less than the following: 0.50 for one work day or less 0.60 for less than 24 hours 0.67 for 24 hours to less than 1 week 0.75 for 1 week to less than 6 weeks 0.80 for 6 weeks to 6 months 1.0 for greater than 6 months. Local weather forecast data may require higher non-operational design wind speeds, however, weather data shall not be used to justify lower non-operational wind 45ANSITIA-1019-A, speeds. For structures in hurricane regions, the design wind speed for determining non-operational design wind loads, W., need not be greater than 90 mph 3-second gust. For construction durations greater than 1 week, appropriate plans that can be implemented before the onset of a forecasted hurricane must be prepared to provide additional bracing, temporary guys, etc. if required to meet the strength requirements for the full hurricane wind speed for the site. 46ANSUTIA-1019-A 5. GIN POLE ANALYSIS AND DESIGN 5.1. Scope This section defines minimum acceptable analysis and design methods for latticed and tubular gin poles. 5.2. Classification of Vertical or Near Vertical Gin Poles The classification of a gin pole shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.4.1 5.3. Design Method The design method for gin pole members and connections shall be based on Allowable Strength Design, ASD, provisions of AISC 360-05 13" Edition (AISC). AISC allowable stresses shall be divided by the impact factor, Ig, from Section 5.4. Impact factors are used to increase safety factors to account for unavoidable impact during lifting and to account for other minor factors that increase strength requirements (i.e. sheave friction, load line contact friction, etc.) Note: ASD is the prescribed design method to be consistent and compatible with traditional design methods used for rigging. Margins of safety and deflection limitations appropriate for rigging are well established using ASD methods. 5.4. Impact Factors Impact factors, Ig, for determining allowable stresses shall be based on the gin pole classification as follows: Class A: 1.45 Class B: 1.35 Class C: 1.25 Class D: 1.20 For tilted gin poles, the Impact Factor, Ig, shall be 1.3 5.5. _ Load Combinations 5.5.1. Structural Loads The gin pole dead load, Dp, includes the weight of the gin pole, rooster head and all fixed rigging attachments. Construction loads for a gin pole, Cy, include the weight of the lifted load, the weight of the headache ball, the weight of the load line from the rooster head to the lifted load, the weight of all rigging on the load line side of the rooster head and the weight of the tag line. 47ANSITIA1019-4 Operational wind loads for a gin pole, W, include the wind loading on the gin pole, the load line inside the gin pole and the rooster head. Wind loads shall be determined in accordance with ANSI/TIA-222-G using a uniform effective 30 mph wind speed (Kz, Gp, and Kg equal to 1.0) with a load factor equal to 1.0. 5.5.2. Strength Condition Gin pole strength requirements shall be based on the following loading combination: Dp + 1.0Cg + 1.0 Wy 5.5.3. Service Load Condition The horizontal tip deflection, Htip, relative to the bridle shall be determined for vertical or near vertical gin poles in accordance with the following loading combination: Dp + 1.0 Cg The calculated value of Htip shall be provided with the charted lifted load capacity in a Standard Load Chart for monitoring during a lift. Gin pole tip deflections shall not exceed the greater of the gin pole width or 6 inches. 5.6. Reactions Gin pole reactions shall be considered as operational construction loads, Cy, in accordance with Section 4.3.1 for the evaluation of supporting structures. 5.7. Analysis Models Elastic three-dimensional analysis models shall be used that consider second-order effects (P-delta) with enough cycles to assure a stable response of the deflected gin pole under load. The analysis model shall accurately represent the offset location of the basket connection when an offset exists. Note: Most vertical or near vertical gin poles have the basket connection offset towards the supporting structure. The individual leg and brace member stresses for latticed gin poles and the plate stresses for tubular poles shall be investigated at all locations of the gin pole. The minimum acceptable models of analysis are as follows: a) Beam-column models producing moments, shears and axial forces in the beam elements. Unless the analysis model considers second-order effects within each beam element, the minimum number of beam elements shall be equal to five between the basket and bridle, and five for the cantilever; additionally, the length of any beam element shall not exceed five feet. b) Truss models with leg and bracing members modeled as truss elements. 48ANSUTIA-1019-A ) Frame-truss models with leg members modeled as beam elements producing both moments and axial forces and bracing members modeled as either frame or truss elements. AA free-body diagram for a typical vertical gin pole is shown in Figure 5-1. Other rigging arrangements may require the consideration of additional loads, forces and reactions. Note: An iterative solution is required for each method of analysis as the load line angle used to calculate the horizontal and vertical components of the line load changes with tip deflection. Refer to Figure 3-8 5.7.1. Effective Slenderness Ratios for Latticed Gin Pole Members The effective length factor, Ki, for all individual gin pole latticed members shall be 1.0. Alternately, for Special Engineered Lifts as defined in Section 3,7, effective slenderness values defined in ANSI/TIA-222-G for bracing members may be used where applicable. When the lines of action of bracing members do not meet at a Point within the diameter or width of a leg member, a combined axial and bending stress analysis shall be performed for the leg member. 5.8. Overall Stability Gin poles shall be investigated for overall stability in accordance with this Section regardless of the analysis models used per Section 5.7. The gin pole global axial load and moment at the bridle for the strength condition shall be determined based on the results from a beam-column analysis or the leg forces from a three- dimensional analysis. All directions of loading shall be considered, An overall effective length factor, K, for the Gin Pole shall be determined from Table 5-1a for vertical gin poles and Table 5-1b for tilted gin poles. Alternately, for Special Engineered Lifts involving vertical or near vertical gin poles, Table B-1 from Annex B may be used to determine the overall effective length factor. Note: The overall effective length factor is applied to the cantilever length for vertical and near vertical gin poles and to the overall length for titled gin poles which has been the traditional approach used for these types of gin poles. The gin pole shall satisfy the following interaction equations: For latticed gin poles: Py Ag I fe Fapole 49ANSUTIA-1019-A, For tubular gin poles: Par le *) Fapote where: lg = impact factor from Section 5.4 Pp = global axial load at bridle Mpr = global moment at bridle For = leg axial stress due to Mr for latticed gin poles ‘Ag = global cross sectional area of gin pole at bridle Sp = section modulus of gin pole at bridle for tubular gin poles Fapole = allowable column axial stress at bridle based upon the cantilever length Le, the overall effective length factor K, and the radius of gyration of the global cross section at the bridle Faleg = allowable individual leg axial stress at bridle for latticed gin poles based upon the panel length in the cantilever at the bridle and an effective length factor for the leg equal to 1.0 Fp =allowable bending stress at bridle for tubular gin poles Note: A check for overall gin pole stability is required due to the variables that effect overall stability that are normally not included in a gin pole second-order analysis model. The overall effective length factor, K, is intended to account for these variables (refer to Annex B). 5.9. Connections 5.9.1. Bolts a) Bolts and/or threaded rods shall comply with AISC with the allowable stresses divided by the appropriate impact factor. b) Bolts or threaded rods with tensile strengths of 150 ksi or greater (ie, A490 bolts) shall not be hot-dip or mechanically galvanized. 5.9.2. Re-Use of Fasteners Bolts and threaded rods for gin pole connections may be reused under the following conditions: a) Fasteners are not galvanized b) Bearing stresses are limited to 90% of the yield strength of the connected material. ©) Locking devices, when used, shall not damage the threads. d) Fasteners are visually inspected each time and subjected to a hand- threading test. This shall be accomplished by running the nut up and down 50ANSUTIA-1019-A the entire length of bolt threads by hand. if a nut cannot be easily run throughout the threaded length, the bolt shall not be reused. Note: This test indicates if bolts or nuts have yielded due to previous tightening or loading. e) Fasteners are % inch in diameter or larger. f) Fasteners have not been pre-tensioned beyond 40% of their ultimate strength, (i.e. 48,000 psi for A325 bolts up to 1 inch in diameter) or installed with torque values greater than the following: Size A325 Bolt Torque (Ft.-Lbs.) 3/4" 100 718" 175 ie 250 1-1/8" 325 Above 1-1/8" 350 9) Fasteners do not have an ultimate tensile strength greater than 120 ksi (ie. A490 bolts cannot be re-used). This requirement is due to the lower ductility associated with high tensile strength bolts. h) ASTM A36 threaded rods and ASTM A307 bolts shall not be substituted for high strength fasteners. 5.9.3. Bearing Type Connections Bolts tightened to a snug-tight condition are permissible for use in bearing-type connections. Bearing-type connections shall not be used with oversized or slotted holes in the direction of force. 5.9.4. Minimum Connection Tension Capacity Connections shall have sufficient capacity to support the design load, but shall not have a tension capacity less than 50% of the member's compression capacity 5.10. Rooster Head The line sizes used with the rooster head sheave shall be within the range of line sizes recommended by the sheave manufacturer. The reaction on the sheave from the line load shall not exceed the sheave manufacturer's load rating or WLL for the sheave and pin. Alternately, the WLL may be determined from the minimum breaking strength of the sheave and pin divided by a 4.0 safety factor. Note: Bronze sheave bushings shall be limited to slow line speeds and infrequent use. Steel roller bearings shall be used for fast line speeds and heavy loads. Axial load, lateral thrust and overturning moment reactions from the line load at the base of a rooster head shall be used for determining the strength requirements of the base and base bearing. Strength requirements shall not exceed the ‘manufacturer's load rating or WLL. Alternately, the WLL may be determined from the minimum breaking strength of the base and base bearing divided by a 4.0 safety 51ANSITIA-1019-4 factor. Stresses in base connection bolts shall not exceed AISC allowable stresses divided by a 1.3 impact factor. The strength requirements for side plates and other components of the rooster head shall not exceed AISC allowable stresses divided by a 1.3 impact factor. 5.11. Generation of Standard Load Charts for Vertical or Near Vertical Gin Poles The following assumptions and methods shall be used for the generation of a Standard Load Chart. The assumptions and methods may not be appropriate for Special Engineered Lifts. a) b) °) a 9) h) The minimum toad line position angle, @cmin, shall be determined from Figure 3-7. Safe lifted loads shall not be increased for lifts with lesser position angles. The overall effective length factor, K, for investigating overall gin pole stability shall be determined from Table 5-1a. The gross load capacity shall be based on the condition when the lifted load is at the bridle location and at the maximum charted horizontal distance from the gin pole with the required tag force applied to the load, Tag lines are relaxed when the lifted load is lifted above the bridle elevation. Impact factors account for friction in the rigging system. Gross oad capacities shall be determined for cantilever heights equal to 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% of the overall gin pole length. Wind loading occurs parallel to the direction of the rooster head in the direction adding to the moment at the bridle from the lifted load. For the strength loading condition, wind loading shall be applied over the portion of the gin pole above the bridal connection. The reactions at the bridle shall be increased to include 50% of the wind load on the portion of the gin pole below the bridle. Notes: 1, Wind loading below the bridle reduces the deflection of the gin pole tip and the second-order (P-delta) moment at the bridle due to the lifted load, Wind loading below the bridle may be shielded from the supporting structure. It is conservative to assume 100% shielding for the determination of gin pole moments and tip deflections and to assume 0% shielding for the determination of bridle reactions. 2. It is conservative to ignore wind loading on the lifted load side of the rooster head as this wind loading reduces the tag force required to maintain the lifted load in the desired position. The location of the load line horizontal and vertical components shall be assumed to be as indicated in Figures 5-1 and 5-2. 52ANSITIA-1019-4 i) The load line passing through the center of the gin pole shall be considered to remain vertical with no horizontal component reducing the overturning ‘moment of the gin pole. Note: The actual value of the horizontal component may be less than calculated when the gin pole stiffness is greater than assumed in the analysis. It is conservative to ignore the lateral component of the line load on the gin pole side of the rooster head resisting tip deflection for vertical or near vertical gin poles. For tilted gin poles, the horizontal component is present due to the orientation of the gin pole and is required to be included in the analysis. 53ANSITIA-1019-4 Table 5-1a: Vertical Gin Poles K Factor Based Upon Cantilever Length, La Cantilever Length 20% L 30% L 40% L 50% L 53 38 32 2.8 Notes: 1.

Scope This annex is intended to provide the background for the overall stability criteria contained in this Standard and to provide alternative criteria for Special Engineered Lifts. B1.2. Gin Pole Characteristics A slender column may become unstable under axial compressive loading prior to any component within the column reaching its limit state strength capacity. The AISC ASD methodology results in appropriate factors of safeties for the individual components of a gin pole. Gin poles have unique characteristics that affect the overall stability as indicated in Table B-1. These characteristics are accounted for by the use of an overall effective length factor for a gin pole modeled as a beam- column with a pin support at the base and either 1 or 2 lateral supports above the bridle. The overall effective length factors in Section 5.0 and Table B-1 were established based on theoretical evaluations with computer models and both small and full-scale gin pole load testing. The overall effective length factors in Section 5.0 are based on conservative assumptions that are used for the generation of Standard Load Charts and may be used for the design of all gin poles. For Special Engineered Lifts, the overall effective length factors in Table B-1 may be used for gin poles in the vertical or near vertical position. The overall effective length factors in Table B-1 may also be used for Special Engineered Lifts involving gin poles with tilt angles up to 7° when a minimum of two attachments at the bridle are used to provide lateral restraint in all directions. (Note: rooster head rotation may not be practical under non-vertical positions of a gin pole.) B1.3. Vertical Gin Poles B1.3.1. The overall effective length factor, K, applied to the cantilevered length varies with the following, as indicated in Table B-1 a) The cantilever and overall lengths of a gin pole. b) The number and position of gin pole supports. c) The spring stiffness of the gin pole supports. d) The number of parts of line. e) The lateral support condition of the load line between the bridle and basket. B1.3.2. Spring Stiffness of Gin Pole Supports The relative stiffnesses of the gin pole and the supporting mast are used to quantify the spring stiffness of the gin pole supports by using the following dimensionless ratio: KsL°/E lop a) ks = lateral spring stiffness of supporting structure between gin pole bridle and basket connections (kip/inch) 60ANSUTIA-1019-4 b) _L = overall length of the gin pole from basket attachment to cantilever top (inches) ©) E=modulus of elasticity of the gin pole material (kip/square inch) d) gp = moment of inertia of the gin pole cross section at the bridle connection (inches) B1.3.2.1. Determination of Lateral Spring Stiffness The lateral spring stiffness, ks, shall be determined by one of the following methods unless otherwise determined by a rational analysis: a) Calculate the relative horizontal deflection of the supporting structure, between the bridle and basket by applying a horizontal load at the bridle. Calculate a spring constant by dividing the applied horizontal load in kips by the calculated relative deflection between the bridle and basket, in inches (kipsfinch) b) Calculate ks from field measured data. B1.3.3. Selecting K from Table B-1 In selecting a gin pole overall effective length factor, K, from Table B-1 the following nomenclature is used: a) 2-Supports: a gin pole only supported at the basket and the bridle. b) 3-Supports: a gin pole supported at the basket, at the bridle, and at or near the mid-point between the bridle and the basket. c) Load Line Restrained: considers that the load line running down through the middle of the gin pole is restrained in at least one location between the bridle and basket from moving in the lateral (parallel to the ground) direction during the lif, when the top of the gin pole begins to deflect laterally during a lit Notes: 4. When kcL°/Elgy is less than 100, the value for ksL°/EIg, = 100 shall be used. 2. When KsL°Elgp is greater than 800, the value for ksL°/EIg, = 800 shall be used. 3.
