A.1.1 General
The Tenderer is obliged to meet all detailed specifications for the structure stipulated herein.
This section describes in general terms the design and fabrication of structure required to
support the specified telecommunication antennas.

A.1.2 Design Standard

All requirements are based on the recognized international design standard and the Tenderer
is required to adopt this standard as a guideline for design, fabrication and transportation of
the structure. The standard to be adopted is:
• ANSI/TIA-222-G ‘Structural Standard for Antenna Supporting Structures and Antennas’
Addendum No. 2.
Other international standards shall be incorporated as part of the said above are as follows:
• Structural concrete design to ACI 318 – 05 ‘Building Code Requirements for Structural
Concrete’.
• General structural steelwork design to AISC LRFD – 99 ‘Load and Resistance Factor
Design Specification for Structural Buildings’.

A.1.3 Stress Design

The stress design shall consider the combined effect of wind load and dead load of the
antennas, structure, and other accessories so the possible worst-case stresses are thoroughly
examined. The wind shall be considered in all directions to ensure possible worst-case load
combinations are included in the stress design.
All arrangement of the antenna at any point on the structure from initial-to-intermediate loading
shall be included as part of final loading which eventually result in more onerous moment in
the structure. Thus, three-dimensional stress design is recommended. Any significant
eccentricities in load application that would produce excessive deflection and torsion in the
structure shall be considered as well.
The possibility of wind gust-induced vibration which increases stresses, deflection and torsion
in the structure shall be considered using method of quasi-static load assumption as described
for the non-linear equation system.
Depending on the country climatic condition, ice and seismic (earthquake) load shall be

supercritical force coefficients are considered.

= (1- ε) for appurtenances when subcritical force coefficients are considered,

entirely inside the cross section of a latticed structure or outside the cross
section entirely within a face zone as defined in Figure 2-3, where ε is the
minimum solidity ratio of the structure considering each face for the section
containing the appurtenance. Ka need not exceed 0.6.

= 0.8 for antenna mounting configurations (when subcritical force

coefficients are considered only) such as side arms, T-arms, stand-offs,
etc. when 3 or more mounts are located at the same relative elevation
(shielding from the mounting configuration and shielding of mounting
members from antennas is excluded, refer to 2.6.9.4)

= 1.0 for other appurtenances unless otherwise specified in this section

(Notes:
1. Ka = 1.0 may be conservatively used for any appurtenance
2. The value of Ka is constant for all wind directions)

θ = relative angle between the azimuth associated with the normal face of
the appurtenance and the wind direction (Refer to Figure 2-4).

(EPA)N = effective projected area associated with the windward face normal to the
azimuth of the appurtenance.

(EPA)T = effective projected area associated with the windward side face of the
appurtenance. The larger value of (EPA)N or (EPA)T may be
conservatively used for (EPA)A for all wind directions. In the absence of
more accurate data, an appurtenance shall be considered as consisting of
flat and round components in accordance with the following:

(EPA)N = Σ (CA AA)N

(EPA)T = Σ (CA AA)T

CA = force coefficient from Table 2-8

AA = projected area of a component of the appurtenance. The additional

projected area of ice shall be considered as a round component for loading
combinations that include ice.

Equivalent flat plate areas based on Revision C of this Standard shall be

multiplied by a force coefficient, CA, equal to 2.0 except when the
appurtenance is made up of round members only, a force coefficient of 1.8
may be applied.

The total (EPA)A for a wireless carrier shall be determined in accordance

with Annex C when specific antenna and mounting information is not
available.

(EPA)A = Ka [(EPA)N cos2(θ) + (EPA)T sin2(θ) ]

(EPA)N = Σ (CA AA)N
(EPA)T = Σ (CA AA)T
CA = force coefficient from Table 2-8
AA = projected area of a component of the appurtenance

Note:
Please refer to the TIA-222-G standard for all the related table and clauses specified under
design parameters.
