Steve:
I was browsing thru tower talk archives, I'm not subscribed and ran
across the attached message concerning derating a crank-up tower. To
properly derate the tower an engineer needs to look at this case.
Consider the following per the 1994 UBC
the basic stagnation wind pressure formula is Q= 0.00256 * V*V
where Q is in psf and V is in mph.
This is the basic wind pressure that is modifiec for height, exposure,
gust, importance and
geometric coefficients.
Basically if increase from 50 mph to 80 mph then the increase is:
(80/50)(80/50) = 2.56 due to the fact that it is a function of the
velocity squared.
Hope this helps this gentleman and others.
