Epa Calculation For Towers

This document contains calculations for designing various structural components to withstand wind forces: 1) It first calculates wind forces on a tubular pole and appurtenances like antennas based on wind speed, height, and structure dimensions. 2) It then checks the strength of the tubular pole by calculating its compressive, flexural, shear, and torsional capacities. 3) Additional calculations determine the compressive strength of tubular leg members for latticed structures and the interaction of axial compression and bending forces. 4) Minimum bracing resistance is also checked for a supported member.
