<br />78' Monopole - Structural Evaluation Site USID #: 214755 <br /> <br />3/1/2023 Page 3 of 4 <br /> <br />ASSUMPTIONS <br /> <br />This structural analysis is based on the theoretical capacity of the members and is not a condition assessment of the tower. <br />This analysis is from information supplied, and therefore, its results are based on and are as accurate as that supplied data. <br />GPD has made no independent determination, nor is it required to, of its accuracy. The following assumptions were made <br />for this structural analysis. <br /> <br />1. The tower member sizes and shapes are considered accurate as supplied. The material grade is as per data <br />supplied and/or as assumed and as stated in the materials section. <br />2. The appurtenance configuration is as supplied, determined from available photos, and/or as modeled in the <br />analysis. It is assumed to be complete and accurate. All antennas, mounts, coax and waveguides are assumed to <br />be properly installed and supported as per manufacturer requirements. <br />3. All mounts, if applicable, are considered adequate to support the loading. No actual analysis of the mount(s) is <br />performed. This analysis is limited to analyzing the tower only. <br />4. The soil parameters are as per data supplied or as assumed and stated in the calculations. <br />5. Foundations are properly designed and constructed to resist the original design loads indicated in the documents <br />provided. <br />6. The tower and structures have been properly maintained in accordance with TIA Standards and/or with <br />manufacturer’s specifications. <br />7. All welds and connections are assumed to develop at least the member capacity unless determined otherwise and <br />explicitly stated in this report. <br />8. All prior structural modifications, if applicable, are assumed to be as per data supplied/available and to have been <br />properly installed. <br />9. Loading interpreted from photos is accurate to ±5’ AGL, antenna size accurate to ±3.3 sf, and coax equal to the <br />number of existing antennas without reserve. <br />10. All existing and proposed loading has been taken from the available site photos as well as documents supplied to <br />GPD at the time of generating this report. All such documents are listed in the Documents Provided Table and are <br />assumed to be accurate. GPD is not responsible for loading scenarios outside those conveyed in the supplied <br />documentation. <br /> <br />If any of these assumptions are not valid or have been made in error, this analysis may be affected, and GPD should be <br />allowed to review any new information to determine its effect on the structural integrity of the tower. <br />4111 3%4 S Main St Unit <br />#WCC0112/13/2024
