Thank you very much for the assistance on this. These have all been very insightful. Specifically JStephen, we figured that the stresses would be independent, but got ourselves thinking in circles about it. We definitely agree that the thing to check is the anchor bolts and foundation - which...
Our typical analysis would assume the tower be empty, as that would provide the least overturning resistance. This analysis request is for when the tank is full and there is column water pressure inside the tank combined with the bending stress from the antennas down at the base.
If you are doing analysis per TIA-222 Rev G or Rev H, then you can apply shielding to grouped clusters of feedline cables. (Shielding is outlined in 2.6.11.4) Rev F does not allow for this, however, there isn't any reason anyone should be doing anything in Rev F anymore. Shielding is may be...
Good afternoon,
I am doing analysis on an existing standpipe style water tower (simple 20ft diameter, 85ft tall) with telecommunications equipment mounted at the top. Typically in this scenario, we would check anchor bolts and overturning, but we are being asked by the jurisdiction to provide...
