    This document summarizes the design adequacy check for tower bracing members. It provides the design parameters, member properties, load calculations, and checks compressive capacity against the applied load. The bracing member is determined to be compact with a slenderness ratio less than the critical buckling value. Its calculated compressive capacity is greater than the applied load, indicating the design is adequate.
