I.GeotechnicalInvestigationsforTowers Abstract
Provides minimum criteria for specifying and designing steel antenna towers and antenna structures. This information Should not be relied upon for any specific application without competent professional examination and verification of its accuracy, suitability and applicability by a licensed professional engineer. They utilize wind loading criteria based on an annual probability and apply to steel antenna tower and antenna supporting structures for all classes of communications service, such as AM, CATV, FM, Microwave, Cellular, TV, VHF, etc.
