I have been dying to ask Steve this same question, since I think he said in Dayton that "you just add it all up." My basic understanding makes me think that 10 square feet halfway up a 100' tower is

Mark, The shear stress that the tower encounters is the same. However, the bending moment is not the same and therefore the reaction at the base of the tower has changed. If a manufacturer gave me th

The handling of side mounted loads depends on the nature of the TOWER SYSTEM. If one is dealing with a free standing tower, the failure modes are either due to side loads (wind) or crushing (total w

think load Jeez - you're asking a non-engineer?!? As I understand it, a typical tower spec is for the WHOLE tower so you can parcel it out anyway you want but it's also typically the headload on top

The point is not that there are changes in the distribution and magnitudes of the loads and moments but that "add it all up" provides an answer which is to first order accurate for guyed towers and e

STEVE, With apologies, I DISAGREE with your conclusion that it "doesn't matter where the load is since it all turns into leg compression at some point. Horizontal forces (antenna / tower loading) are
