Self Support Tower - Truss Leg Modification - TNX
Self Support Tower - Truss Leg Modification - TNX
(OP)
I am working on designing modifications to an existing self-support tower that has truss legs.
I am trying to figure out how to analyze the modified truss leg in TNX.
I am planning on using a part manufactured by SitePro1 - tie-rod bracket with 2" std. pipe.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

There is also a way to add to the program database with new section shapes and properties. And there are additional programs out there to help you determine what the combined section properties of complex shapes are.
I have had to do this process several times in dealing with tower modifications.

We also made sure to add the tie rods in for wind area.
