It's time for a reality check here. 40' of Rohn 25G is NOT self supporting! Without proper professional analysis, I would not add a bracket to a tower which was truly self-supporting. Adding the bracket will completely change the distribution of forces and moments on the tower, and could redistribute or increase the forces to a point in the structure not expected to sustain such forces. -Tony, K1KP, fisher@hp-and2.an.hp.com |
