Henry Petroski (a Civil Engineer and professor emeritus at Duke) is one of my favorite authors. He has a column in the semi-monthly magazine American Scientist that is a must read for every engineer!

While my experience has nothing to do with this particular question. I retired from the fire service and we used 1.5 x the height for a "safe zone" for fallen debris. We didn't run into tower failure

Take a look at K7NV's website.  He did an interesting finite element analysis of tower failure modes.  Don't know, but it was still there the last time I looked. 73, Pete N4ZR Check out the Reverse B

I would respectfully suggest that the issue here is that Hams are cheap and often do not "properly engineer and construct" towers. If we all had to have the engineering documentation to PROVE that ou
