B+T Group is pleased to submit this “Appurtenance Mount Analysis Report” to determine the structural
integrity of the antenna mount on the above mentioned structure.
The purpose of the analysis is to determine acceptability of the mount’s stress level. Based on our analysis we
have determined the stress level for the mount under the following load case to be:
This analysis has been performed in accordance with the 2012 International Building Code based upon an
ultimate 3-second gust wind speed of 128 mph converted to a nominal 3-second gust wind speed of 99 mph per
section 1609.3.1 as required for use in the TIA-222-G Standard per Exception #5 of Section 1609.1.1.
Exposure Category C and Risk Category II were used in this analysis.
All equipment proposed in this report shall be installed in accordance with the drawings for the determined
available structural capacity to be effective.
We at B+T Group appreciate the opportunity of providing our continuing professional services to you and
KeyPoint Communication. If you have any questions or need further assistance on this or any other projects
please give us a call.
2) ANALYSIS PROCEDURE
RISA-3D, a commercially available analysis software package, was used to create a three-
dimensional model of the mount and calculate member stresses and deflections for various loading
cases. Selected output from the analysis is included in Appendix A.
2.2) Assumptions
3) ANALYSIS RESULTS
4) RECOMMENDATIONS
The mount does not have sufficient capacity to carry the existing and proposed loads. Either the entire
mount will need to be replaced, or the failing components will need to be replaced or reinforced to bring
the mount into compliance with the TIA-222-G standards for the proposed and existing loading. The
following components have members that exceed their load carrying capacity for the proposed and
existing loading (Refer to the RISA output for the specific members):
a) Top Horizontal
b) Bottom Horizontal
c) Support Arms
d) Connection Pipe
e) Mount Pipe
f) Mounting Plate
Further engineering and detailing is required to design the necessary modifications or replacement.
