So, would I be correct in assuming in this case, that it would be "better" to
have the strap bond as close to the bottom/foundation as reasonable to reduce
the "parallel conductor" distance?In my case, there are threaded steel rods in
the foundation, not a tower section... So the bond would be made to the tower
leg that is sitting/bolted in/to a steel clevis bolted to the threaded rod. I
will give additional attention to this inward force to which you refer in the
mechanical design.... perhaps a thicker strap and more craftsmanship in the
shaping thereof is in order. <wink>.PS - Pretty stinkin' neat to learn
something new.... Here's a link that explains the math/theory at a reasonably
understandable level.
