[TowerTalk] Is A Tower Weaker in Some Directions?

[Cox, Norman R.]

  Thank you, Steve....I've learned a lot from the archives, hope to continue to learn.

   I did take the suggestion to contact the structural engineer at US Towers.  Regarding the orientation of the T-base.....he said that the strength of the tower will be about the same in all directions, and suggested I just orient the base so that laying the tower down or raising the tower back up will be most convenient.  I guess I was just over-analyzing.  

  The T-base and anchor bolts (and contractor) arrived today, so we're on our way!  Thanks to all.
