ANALYSIS REPORTS
3.1) Analysis Method
RISATower (version 5.3.1.0), a commercially available analysis software package, was used to create
a three - dimensional model of the tower and calculate member stresses for various loading cases.
Selected output from the analysis is included in Appendix A.
3.2) Assumptions
1) Tower and structures were built in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications.
2) The tower and structures have been maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's
specification.
3) The configuration of antennas, transmission cables, mounts and other appurtenances are as
specified in Tables 1 and 2 and the referenced drawings.
4) When applicable, transmission cables are considered as structural components for calculating
wind loads as allowed by TIA/EIA- 222 -F.
This analysis may be affected if any assumptions are not valid or have been made in error. Crown
Castle should be notified to determine the effect on the structural integrity of the tower.

1) INTRODUCTION
This tower is a 162 ft Monopole tower designed by ENGINEERED ENDEAVORS, INC. in May of 2000. The
tower was originally designed for a wind speed of 75 mph per TIA/EIA- 222 -F.
2) ANALYSIS CRITERIA
The structural analysis was performed for this tower in accordance with the requirements of TIA/EIA -222 -F
Structural Standards for Steel Antenna Towers and Antenna Supporting Structures using a fastest mile wind
speed of 75 mph with no ice, 65 mph with 0.5 inch ice thickness and 50 mph under service loads.

Dear Mitzi Parker,
Crown Castle is pleased to submit this "Structural Analysis Report" to determine the structural integrity of the
above mentioned tower. This analysis has been performed in accordance with the Crown Castle Structural
'Statement of Work' and the terms of Crown Castle Purchase Order Number 312710, in accordance with
application 93192, revision 3.
The purpose of the analysis is to determine acceptability of the tower stress level. Based on our analysis we
have determined the tower stress level for the structure and foundation, under the following load case, to be:
LC1: Existing + Reserved + Proposed Equipment Sufficient Capacity
Note: See Table 1 and Table 11 for the proposed and existing /reserved loading, respectively.
The analysis has been performed in accordance with the TIA/EIA -222 -F standard and local code requirements
based upon a wind speed of 75 mph fastest mile.
All modifications and equipment proposed in this report shall be installed in accordance with the attached
drawings for the determined available structural capacity to be effective.
We at Crown Castle appreciate the opportunity of providing our continuing professional services to you and
Crown Castle. If you have any questions or need further assistance on this or any other projects please give us
a call.
