Abel Discusses Existing Structures Specifications in TIA-222-H Posted on Jul 9, 2018

The July 2018 issue of AGL Magazine features an article from FDH’s Dennis Abel, PE, director of engineering, on “Existing Structures Specifications in TIA-222-H.”

The article is the second in a series of three articles on the implications of Rev. H for carriers and tower owners, authored by Abel, who is a member of the TR-14 Committee that developed the TIA-222-H design standard.

In the second article, Abel explains the four types of changed conditions that trigger the requirement for a structural analysis, along with acceptable stress levels and other topics in Section 15 of TIA-222-H.
