Page 25G-1, and page 25G-2 of the Rohn consumer catalog.

Their design charts, their design drawings.




Blake:
I beg to differ with you.

Using TIA/EIA 222-F wind loading criteria and 70 mph wind velocity (min.
recommended) a 40 foot section of Rohn, 25g un-guyed and cantilevered will
develop a moment at the base of 7200 ft-lbs at the base. This is without an
antenna load, just the tower itself. The published allowable moment for 25g
,by Rohn, with a 1/3 increase for wind loading duration is 6,720 ft-lbs. At
40 feet it is clearly overstressed. How do you say that this is ok and that
Rohn fully supports this?
