Figure 3-6. Torsional Slope
Torsional loading of the span caused by each tower of one span running on opposing slopes, as shown in
Figure 1-6. is the most likely condition to cause actual structural damage, since the span is actually being
twisted. In this situation, both slopes should be calculated and added together to determine whether or not
slope limitations have been exceeded. For example, if the ascending slope was calculated at 7%, and the
descending slope 6%, the overall slope would be 13%.
