1. SUBJECT SITE, OBJECTIVE, AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF RESULTS
1.1 Subject Site
AT&T’s Rooftop-2014 NSB Site SX3175 (SBC RELO) will be situated on the roof top of
the Sheraton Gunter Hotel high-rise building at 205 East Houston Street, San Antonio,
TX 78205. This building is located in Bexar County Texas.
1.2 Objective
The objective of this structural analysis is to evaluate the adequacy of the proposed an-
tenna sled mounts, proposed equipment platform, and building roof structure when sub-
jected to proposed equipment and appurtenances.
1.3 Executive Summary of the analysis results
The subject building roof structure is capable to support combined effects of the roof
and proposed AT&T appurtenances/equipment if the antenna radiation height is within
6’-6” above the roof and sled//platform are centered on the building columns.
2. SCOPE
The scope of this work is limited to the structural analysis and capacity evaluation of the
roof structure at the vicinity of the proposed equipment locations and not the entire
roof/building. In addition, only stability analyses of sled mounts and platform are con-
ducted and not the design of these items. The design is performed by the manufactur-
ers of the sled mount and the platform which indicate their adequacy for the proposed
loads.
3. INTRODUCTION
According to Ref [1], the Sheraton-Gunther hotel is a 12 story high-rise building con-
structed in early 1930’s. This beautiful historic building is located in the down town San
Antonio, Texas. A set of building drawings is not available to review the building con-
struction. However, as per the mapping results of Ref [3], the building structure consists
of structural steel beams, girders, and columns. The roof structure consists of 3” thick
one way slab, 6” deep beams and 12” deep girders. The roof parapet is 2’-8” above the
roof surface.
4. PROPOSED EQUIPMENT AND APPURTENANCES
4.1 Proposed Sled mount and appurtenances
The proposed non-penetrating sled mounts will be (3) Valmont RTW-10 or approved
equivalent with specified ballast in each sled. The proposed appurtenances on the sled
mounts from Ref [2] are indicated in Table 1.

7. ANALYSIS AND RESULTS
Due to a lack of building drawings and structural information, a mapping of the roof
structure was conducted by Ref [3]. However, limited information regarding the roof
structure was collected due to access difficulties and the presence of fire-proofed steel.
The slab thickness was measured at 3” and a minimum ACI recommended reinforce-
ment was considered. For the cross section of the typical beam, 6”x4” dimensions were
measured. The lightest beam in this category from the AISC manual was considered as
W6x9. For the cross section of the typical girder, 12”x6” dimensions were measured.
The lightest girder in this category from the AISC manual was considered as W12x26.
Different radiation heights were considered for the 8’ antennas and RRU-12/A2 units to
determine the ballast requirement and applied stresses to the roof structure. Also differ-
ent locations were considered for the platform and sleds.
The desired antenna radiation and RRU-12 height of 9’-0” above the roof surface was
examined in option I. Option I was found unacceptable due to heavy ballast require-
ment and high demand on the roof structure. The required ballast in each sled using op-
tion I is 3000 lbs. The capacity usage of the 3” thick roof slab and W6x9 beams are at
131% and 113% respectively. Capacity usage is the ratio of the applied load to the
available strength in a structural member. A capacity usage ratio of 105% or less indi-
cates structural adequacy of the analyzed existing member.
An antenna radiation height of 6’-6” and RRU-12 height of 4’-0” above the roof surface
were used in option IV. Also the platform and sleds were centered on the building col-
umns in this option. Option IV was found barely acceptable due to limited reserve ca-
pacity of the roof structure. The required ballast for each sled using in this option is
2100 lbs. Capacity usage of the 3” thick roof slab and W6x9 beams in this option are at
105% and 75% respectively. The capacity usage of the roof girders is at 101%. A sum-
mary of the sled ballast requirement and applied stresses applied to roof in the options
considered is indicated in Table 4.

IV 6’-6” 4’-0” 2100 1180 3280 53 260
In summary the building roof structure is capable of supporting combined roof and pro-
posed AT&T appurtenance/equipment in option IV only.
8. CONCLUSIONS
The analysis results indicated that the assumed roof structure is not capable to support
AT&T’s appurtenance and equipment loads with the desired radiation height of 9’-0”
above the roof. To qualify, the radiation height of antennas must be lowered to 6’-6”
above the roof surface. Additionally, RRU-12/A2 heights must also be limited to 4’-0” or
less from the roof surface. Finally, Sleds and platform must be centered on a building
column. Refer to SK-1 in Appendix I for information.
9. RECOMMENDATIONS
Three single-sector, non-penetrating galvanized sled mounts, Valmont model

RTW-10 or approved equivalent shall be used. Each sled to have 1050 lbs of
proper ballast in each tray for a total of 2100 lbs in each sled. Manufacture rec-
ommended rubber mats shall be used beneath entire contact area of sled with
roof.
A non-penetrating galvanized Commscope-MTC3586-PRE or approved equiva-

lent platform with sufficient number of bearing pads to be used to support plat-
form and equipment gravity and wind loads. Total weight of the platform with full
equipment is 8800. lbs. The platform bearing pad contact stress on the roof con-
sidering the total weight shall be 3.5 PSI or less. Manufacture recommended
rubber mats shall be used beneath the entire platform.
Sled mounts and the platform shall be located on the main roof of the subject site
building according to sketch SK-1 indicated in Appendix I.
The sector appurtenances and stealth box shall be installed symmetrical with re-
spect to the sled centerline.
Cutting/drilling/welding into the roof structure and other structural elements of the
building is not permitted unless coordinated with the structural engineer and
owner representative.
