Ok...Here is another dumb questions I've always wondered about! How does cold temperatures affect guy wires? Do they shrink in cold and expand in hot? Now... I use to have 1/4 inch guys on the tower

This isn't a dumb question at all! Yes they do. The only example I have is for 1/4 inch EHS; maybe one of our more engineering enlightened tower heads can fill in the 3/16 info (I've got the formulas

Now for another "dumb question", what about the Philystran type of guying material. Any data on contraction or expansion? Also, given the variation in tension with the temperature what should I do? S

Jeez, there's a question. No, tower shrinkage is not included. For practical purposes, I think the shrinkage of a tower 12 inches to 3 feet across the face isn't big enough to worry about. You have m

I think most people would think of length, unless of course it's made of wood. If the guys and tower were made of the same material, the cooeficient of expansion of course would be the same. The guys

Except that the guys are not in the same plane as the tower, hence the spec based on 45 degree angle. To understand this take the worst case example where the tower is vertical (naturally) and the g

I certainly agree with this John. I just didn't like the sarcastic response I got for my question which was "is tower shrinkage allowed for". Assuming the guys are of a harder materilal than the towe

Yes, I agree. My point was that these are relatively small towers in the overall scheme of things and that the tower shrinkage/expansion in the most practical sense isn't worth worrying about. Since

Though the Hawaiian Islands may be the DX black hole out in the middle of the Pacific, we do not have to worry about things shrinking in cool temps! Rust in the humidity and salt air is our problem.

Larry -- I've been going through my Phillystran literature and what I've been able to find is the "effect of temperature on yarn tensile strength" and "long-term creep" but no elongation vs. temperat
