Pier Structural Engineering Corp. (P-SEC) is pleased to submit this “Structural Modification Report” to
determine the structural integrity of the above mentioned tower. This analysis has been performed in
accordance with the Crown Castle Structural ‘Statement of Work’ and the terms of Crown Castle Purchase
Order Number 813484, in accordance with application 290784, revision 8 pertaining to the recent upgrade
modifications package for this structure.
The purpose of the analysis is to determine acceptability of the tower stress level. Based on our analysis we
have determined the tower stress level for the structure and foundation, under the following load case, to be:
This analysis has been performed in accordance with the 2013 CBC based upon an ultimate 3-second gust
wind speed of 110 mph converted to a nominal 3-second gust wind speed of 85 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 with a
maximum topographic factor, Kzt, of 2.922, Risk Category II and Classification U was/were used in this analysis.
The seismic design category and site class are D, as determined in “Appendix C – Additional Calculations” of
this report.
All modifications and equipment proposed in this report shall be installed in accordance with the attached
drawings for the determined available structural capacity to be effective.
We at P-SEC appreciate the opportunity of providing our continuing professional services to you and Crown
Castle USA Inc. If you have any questions or need further assistance on this or any other projects please give
us a call.

1) INTRODUCTION
This tower is a 60-ft Self Support tower originally designed by ANDREW in August of 1988 for a wind speed of
90 mph per EIA-222-D. The tower was reinforced per P-SEC modification drawings of 2013.
2) ANALYSIS CRITERIA
3) ANALYSIS PROCEDURE
tnxTower (6.1.4.1), a commercially available analysis software package, was used to create a three-
dimensional model of the tower and calculate member stresses for various loading cases. Selected
output from the analysis is included in Appendix A.
3.2) Assumptions
1) Tower and structures were built in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.
2) The tower\structures have been maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s specification.
3) The configuration of antennas, transmission cables, mounts and other appurtenances are as
specified in Tables 1 and 2 and the referenced drawings.
4) P-SEC did not analyze antenna supporting mounts as part of this analysis report and assumed
they are structurally sufficient. It is the carrier’s responsibility to ensure structural compliance of
their existing and/or proposed antenna supporting mounts.
5) All equipment model numbers, quantities, and centerline elevations are as provided in the CCI
CAD package dated 6/19/2015 with any adjustments as noted below:
a) There are (2) existing sidearm mounts at the 50ft elevation that will be removed.
6) Minimum rebar content has been assumed in the original caisson foundations.
7) The proposed upgrade modifications are to be completed as soon as possible and before any
proposed loadings are added. See drawing package in Appendix D for details.
This analysis may be affected if any assumptions are not valid or have been made in error. P-SEC
should be notified to determine the effect on the structural integrity of the tower.
4) ANALYSIS RESULTS
4.1) Recommendations
Once the modifications outlined in Appendix D are completed, the existing 60-ft self-support tower located in
Solano County (VACAVILLE (REVISED)), CA will conform to the TIA-222-G Standard and the 2013 CBC
based upon an ultimate 3-second gust wind speed of 110 mph converted to a nominal 3-second gust wind
speed of 85 mph, exposure category C with a maximum topographic factor, Kzt of 2.922.

CALCULATIONS:
EPOXY/GROUT LENGTH:
Allowable Capacity = 450 psi Note, we used the allowable approach as the results provided
Hole Circumference = 4.712 in²/in slightly longer lengths, as such we feel it is slightly more conservative.
All Force Bond Length = 0.00 in
All Capacity Bond Length = 31.83 in
Proof Load Bond Length = 26.78 in
EMBEDMENT LENGTH:
Top Cover Length = 6.000 in
Development Length = 24.648 in
Engagement Length = 4.125 in

NOTES FORMULAS
1. Used the geotech report for skin friction values.
2. Used the geotech for end bearing. Download Formula: P ≤ ФEB · EB + ФSF · SF
3. Used foundation mapping for 2.5' x 12.08' deep caisson. Uplift Formula: U ≤ ФSF · SF + ФPW · PW
Note: Used 1/3 of global shear
and half of the Caisson depth
to calculate moment.

Hill Feature is assumed to be isolated per section 1.8 of
the Crown Castle standard for the Determination of
Topographic Factors (ENG-PRC-10040).
Flat Topped Hill 2) Base Kzt may differ slightly from TNX value due
to differences in where the base line is established.
This does not effect the results in anyway.
