1. Introduction
30m Self supporting Monopole to be constructed to support:
- 9 GSM Antennae at top.
- 2 MWs antennae 1.2m dia. at 30M.

The design shall be according to ANSI/TIA-222-G standard.
2. Design Basics
The design shall be according to ANSI/TIA-222-G standard.
The following is the main design parameters:
3. Materials
3.1. Shafts
The shafts materials shall be according to BS EN 10025 grade S235J0 or Equiv. With the following
Mechanical properties :
Min. yield strength in N/mm2 = 235 for thickness <= 16 mm
= 225 for thickness > 16 & < 40 mm
= 215 for thickness > 40 & < 63 mm

4. Monopole Loads
In addition to the wind loads on monopole pipes and the head frame platform.
Calculation on pole , antenna ,microwave antenna and platform is estimated according to ANSI/TIA-222-G
standard in the attachment files.
5.3. Results:
The Monopole is modeled as a space structure by the software. It is required to specify Monopole section
properties and coordinates together with self weight, antenna and other Monopole loading. Attached are
STAAD-Pro output which will be used to verify the adequacy of the section provided versus actual stresses.
