USER MANUAL FOR FT TOWERS 30
USING THE TOWER IN
STRUCTURE MODE (WIND
CONDITION)
The towers used in the structure mode form a
column type system that can withstand higher
loads than the mechanism mode.
In order to be able to use the towers outdoors
and subjected to bursts of wind, you should
contact an engineer in the area or our technical
department to study the case
In outdoor use many factors must be taken into
account, the most important are:
- Wind gusts
- Total exposed area
- Working height
- Angle of the braces
- Weights and distance to the tower
- Rigging of all joints
-"Etc"…"
"
As an operating guide, the towers involved in this
manual can be used outdoors as long as they are
in structural mode and the maximum loads are
those of the mechanism mode.
This is because the loads transmitted by the
winds are transmitted vertically from the tower
to the ground, adding an overload that depends
on several factors. This overload is added to the
maximum load of the tower.
If it is not calculated in each specific case of use,
it is possible to take as base the data contained
in the load chart (figure 98) operating the tower
as mechanism by security purpose.
