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 3G project was performed using Weisman’s
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 self-
supporting tower structure. The program calculates the following:

1. Maximum Mast displacement (Tilt and Twist)

2. Maximum Antenna rotations (Tilt and Twist)
3. Maximum tension in Mast members
4. Maximum compression in Mast members
5. Maximum individual foundation loads
6. Maximum total loads on foundation

EXISTING STRUCTURE

The tower under consideration for this analysis is a 20m tall, square self-support structure. It is
comprised of “A”, ‘V” & “X” braced panels tapering from a base width of 3.58m to 1.58m at the top
of the structure. The entire structure is constructed with steel angles for legs and bracings and is
Page 3
 ZMJA020-KUC-Td-0001 Rev. B

entirely of bolted construction. The steel grade used for tower legs & braces is of mild 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 3G project. The tower has been analyzed under the following climatic conditions
and design standards as per client’s requirement.

Analysis 1:

1. Basic Design/Analysis Wind Speed - 39.0 m/s (140 km/hr), which is equivalent to 45
m/s (160km/hr) gusted.

2. Basic Operational Wind Speed - 28.0 m/s (101 km/hr), which is equivalent to 33
m/s (120km/hr) gusted.

3 No ice loading to be considered

4. TIA/EIA-222-F “Structural Standards for Steel Antenna Towers and Antenna Supporting
Structures”.

Analysis 2:

1. Basic Design/Analysis Wind Speed - 35.0 m/s (126 km/hr), which is equivalent to 40
m/s (144km/hr) gusted.

2. Basic Operational Wind Speed - 28.0 m/s (101 km/hr), which is equivalent to 33
m/s (120km/hr) gusted.

3. No ice loading to be considered

4. TIA/EIA-222-F “Structural Standards for Steel Antenna Towers and Antenna Supporting
Structures”.

For the rectangular cross-section tower, the wind loading has been applied to all directions from 0 to
360 degrees with a 45 degrees directional increment to determine the worst loading condition.

Basic wind speed @ 39m/s:

The maximum calculated tower tilt/twist at basic wind speed of 39m/s is 0.101°. Therefore, the
maximum calculated tilt/twist at a basic operational wind speed of 28m/s is:

(28/39)² (0.101°) = 0.052° < 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 new MW antenna at Site No. ZMJA020. 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 with existing and new loading condition as
the leg member forces, diagonal member forces & horizontal forces are leseer than the
member capacities as shown in the respective Member Capacity vs Load tables. Considering
also, a wind speed of 35m/s as seen on the member capacity vs load table, the actual member
forces are also lesser than the member capacities hence, the tower is safe for the Basic wind
speed of 35m/s.

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 client’s project technical requirement for tower displacement.

On the foundation base on the analysis of 39m/s of wind speed the imposed load has exceeded a
0.492% as against the existing capacity which is within engineering tolerance. Also by considering
on the analysis of 35m/s of wind speed base on the table above the existing capacity is greater than
0.515% as against the new load imposed thus, an indication of adequate safety margin.

The result of the analysis above indicates that the existing 20.0m high self-support tower can
safely support the existing and new loading condition for the basic wind speed of 39m/s &
35m/s.
