STRUCTURAL STANDARDS FOR STEEL ANTENNA TOWERS AND
ANTENNA SUPPORTING STRUCTURES
OBJECTIVE
The objective of these standards is to provide I&,&=
uitezia for specifying and designing steel
antenna towers and antenna supporting structures. These standardsare not intended to replace or
supersede applicable codes. me information contained in these standards was obtained from
sources as referenced and noted herein and represents, in the judgement of the subcommittee, the
accepted industry practices for minimum standardsfa the design of steel antenna suppohg
structures. It is for general information only. while it ia believed to be accurate, this information
should not be relied upon for any specific application without competent professional examination
and verification of its accuracy, suitability, and applicability by a licensed professional engineer
These standards utilize wind loading criteria baaedon an annual probability and are not intended to
cover
d environmental conditions which could exist at a particular location.
These standards apply to steel antenna towers and antenna supporting structures for all classesof
cmmmications service, such as AM, CATS, FM, Microwave, Cellular, TV, VHF, etc.
These standards may be adapted for international use; however, it is necessary to determine the
appropriate basic wind speed (fastest-mile) and ice load at the site location in the specific co~npy
based on local meteorological data.
Equivalent International System of Units (SI) are given iu brackets [ ] throughout these standards.
SI conversion factors have been provided in Annex G.
It is the responsibility of the purchaser to provide site-specific data and requirements differing from
those contained in these standards.
Annex A provides a checklist for assisting the purchaseri.nspecifying the requirements for a specific
structure when using these standards..The user is cautioned that local conditions of wind and ice, if
known, have precedence over the minimum standardsdescribed herein.
SCOPE
These standards describe the requirements for steel antenna towers and antenna supporting
stnmures.

This standard does not specifically state an ice requirement. Ice loading,
depending on tower height, elevation, and exposure, may be a significant load on the
stnmure in most parts of the United States. If the structure is to be located where ice
accumulation is expected, consideration shall be given to an ice load when specify& the
requirements for the structure. (Refer to Annexes A and H.)

Notes:
1. The above force coefficients apply only to cantilevered tubular pole structures which
stand alone or are mounted OIIthe top of a latticed strwture.
2. The force coeffkients indicated account for wind load reductions under supercritica.l flow
conditions and therefore do not apply to appurtenances attached to the structure. Use Table 3 for
appropriate force Coeffkients for appurtenances.
3. For ail CTOSS

2.3.10 In the absence of more accurate data, the design wind load (Fc> on a discrete
appurtenance such as an ice shield, platform, etc. (excluding microwave antennas/passive
reflectors) shall be calculated from the equation:
where x CA AC considers all elements of the discrete appurtenance including any feed lines,
brackets, etc., related to the appurtenance. Components of a discrete appurtenance attached

2/3 AR) is provided by a manufacturer of an appurtenance, a force coefficient of 2.0 must be
applied to the equivalent flat-plate area when determiktg design wind loads. When the
appurtenance is made up ofround members only, a force coeSzient of 1.8 may be applied.
2.3.11 In the absence of more accurate data, the design wind load on microwave
antennas/passive reflectors shall be determined using Annex B.

increased.
3.1.1.3 For structures between 700 ft 1213 m] and 1200 ft [366 m] in height, allowable
stressesmay be increased by linear interpolation between l/3 and 0.
(Note: For structures 1200 ft [366 m] or greater in height, increasesin allowable stressesdo
not apply due to the uncertainties of the wind effects above this height.)
3.1.1.4 Stnxture height, for purposes of determimn g allowable stresses,shall be based on
the total structure height including tubular or latticed poles mounted on the structure.
3.1-l .5 Refer to 2.3.4.4 for stressincreasesrequired for cantilevered tubular pole structures

Notes:
1. Site may be within a special wind region indicated on AXE 7-88 wind map.Check with
local authorities before specifying basic wind speed.
2. County is within 100 miles from hurricane oceanline. Tabulated values of basic wind speed
have been adjusted in accordance with AXE 7-88 to obtain 50-year recurrence intervals.
3. For locations not designated as a county, use basic wind speed for the closest county to the site.
4. The wind speedslisted in Section 16 are fastest-mile wind speeds.3-secondgust speedssuch as
those contained in ASCE 7-95, and wind speeds averaged over other time periods, must be
converted to fastest-mile wind speeds for use with this standard. (Refer to Annex A, Section
7’77)
ANNEX A: PURCHASER CHECKLIST
ElM-IA-222
standards are intemkd to set minimum uitaia for the design, fabrication and
~o~~cth
of antenna supporting stnrctures. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to provide
Site-specific data and requirements differing from those contained in these standards. The following
checklist is intended to alert the purchaser to the most common areas where specific data may be
required.
Reference
Section
Purchaserchecklist
2.1.3
A. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to verify that the wind loads and design criteria
specified meet the rquirements of the local building code. If other loading criteria are
required, they shall be provided to the designer.
B. This standard is basedon an allowable stressdesign (ASD) method. Therefore, the use of
terms with an ambiguity in meaning and intent such as survival, shall withstand, etc. is
not appropriate.
C. Dividing the calculated wind pressure by a factor is considered inconsistent with this
standard. See 2.1.3.1 for the proper definition of basic wind speed.
2.3.1.2 A. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to specify appropriate ice loads for locations
where ice accumulation is known to occur.
B. The standard does not specify ice-loading requirements since ice accumulation may vary
subst~tially within a given geographical area.
C. It is recommended that a rn,hhm. l/2 in. C12.7 mm] of solid radial ice be specified for
locations where ice accumulation is known to occur.
2.3.3 A. For bidding purposes it is recommended that the purchaser specify the basic wind speed
(V) to obtain designs based on identical criteria. Wind speedsspecified for use with the
standard shall be fastest-mile wind speeds at 33 ft [lo m] above ground level.
B. The basic wind speed from Section 16, the equations for the exposure coefficient (Kz),
and the gust response factor (cH> are based on wind conditions in open, level country,
and grasslands.
C. The equations specified for Kz and G result in conswvative design wind loads for
thm and wooded areas.
D. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to specify basic wind speeds and appropriate
equations for Kz and @ in hurricane, mountainous, and coastal areas, in the special
wind regions indicated in Section 16 and where local conditions require special
consideration.
E. The purchaser shall identify the elevation of the base above average ground levei when
the structure will be placed on another structure or on a hill or escarpment.
F. The purchaser shall identify the relative elevations of the guy anchors with respect to the
structure base and shall identify the maximum and minimum permissible guy radii.
G. The basic wind speeds provided in Section 16 correspond to an annual probability of
0.02 (SO-year recurrence interval). If the purchaser requires another probability, the
basic wind speed shall be provided to the designer.
I‘IA/EIA-‘/‘-I-
2.3.16 A. Due to the low probability that an extreme ice load will occur simultaneously with an
cmeme wind load, wind load has been reduced 25 percent when considered to occur
smm.baneously with ice (quivaient to 87 percent of the basic wind speed).
B. For b&c wind speeds based on a 50-year recurrence interval (.02 annual probabi.Q),
the reduced wind load approximately corresponds to a 5-year recurrence interv~.
C. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to specify other critical wind and ice loading
combinations for locations where mote severe conditions are known to occur.
5.1.1
A. Galvanizing is the preferred method of providing corrosion control. Alternate methods
of cormion control, such BS epoxy
paint, chlorinated latex paint, plating,
elecuogdvanizing, etc., may be used only when specified by the purchaser.
B. The pudmer shall specify the requirements of additional corrosion control systems
when required. ( Refer to Annex J for corrosion control options for guy anchors in direct
contact with soil.)
7.2.2
A. When standard foundations and anchors are utilized for a final design, it is the
purchaser’s responsibility to verify by geotechnical investigation that actual site soil
parameters equal or exceed normal soil parameters. If the purchaser elects to accept the
normai soil foundation for construction, he accepts the responsibility and liability for the
adequacy of the subsurface soil conditions.
B. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to verify that the depths of standard foundations
are adequate based on the frost penetration and/or the zone of seasonal moisture
variation.
7.2.3.2 A. The geOteCh&al engineer shall be informed of the provisions of this section.
11.2
A. The purchaser shall specify the operational requirements when the minimum standard
does not apply.
12.2
A. The purchaser shall specify other grounding requirements for conditions where the
minimum standard will not be adequate.
13.2.1 A. The purchaser shall specify requirements for climbing and working facilities, hand or
_ -.
. ..
guardra% and climbing safety devices.
16
A. The purchaser is advised that the basic wind speeds listed in Section 16 are minimum
values. Specific sites may have local extreme wind conditions that are more severethan
the listed values. Topographical characteristics such as smooth terrain, bltis, ducting,
mountain top exposure, and prevailing wind directions can significantly increase wind
speeds. The purchaser is advised to consult local information sources such as the
National Weather Service (NWS), local weather agencies, owners of existing towers at
the same or nearby sites, local landowners, and consuking meteorologists.

ANNEX B: DESIGN WIND LOAD ON TYPICAL MICROWAVE
ANT~NAS/RJ~FLECTOR~
This Annex COnkns data for calculating the design wind load on typical microwave amen&
reflectors.
Wind-loading values have been compiled from a wide variety of sources. Some data are
based on wind tunnel tests, and some are based on theoretical calculations. Precise antenna
geometry may vaty between manufacturers, who should be consulted for data concemiitg their
products.)
mote:
Wmd force data presented in this annex for parabolic antennas (iucluding grid antennas) are
described in the antenna axis system having the origin at the vertex of the reflector. The axial force
PA.) acts along the axis of the antenna. The side force (Fs) acts perpendicular to the antenna axis in
the phe of the antenna axis and the wind vector.
‘I’he twisting moment (M) acts in the plane
cOn*g
FA and Fs.. (See Figures B 1, B2, and B3.)
For horn antennas, the origin is at the intersection of the vertical antenna axis with a plane tangent to
the bottom of the boresight cylinder. The axial force FA acts parallel to the antenna boresight axis.
The side force (Fs) acts perpendicular to FA in the plane 0fF~ and the wind vector. The twisting
moment M acti in the plane containing FA and Fs. (See Figure B4.)
For flat plate passive reflectors, the origin is at the cemroid of the plate area. The axial force FA acts
along the normal to the plate. The side force (Fs) acts perpendicular to FA in the plane of FA and the
wind vector. The twisting moment M acts in the plane containing FA and Fs, (See Figure BS.)
In all c=es, the magnitudes of FA, Fs, and M depend on the dynamic pressure of the wind, the
projected frmal area of the antenna, and the aerodynami.c characteristics of the antenna body. The
aerodpdc
characteristics vary with wind angle. The values of FA, Fs, and M shall be cakukted
.
from the following equations:
FA = CA AKzGrrV2(lb)
Fs=Cs AKzeV2(1b)
M=CM
ADKz%V2(ft-lb)
Where: CA, Cs , and CM are the coefficients contained in Tables B 1 through B6 as a function of wind
angle 0.

system or from the user of the antenna system then values &ail be obtained fkom Figure CL c2,
or c3.
2.
Iimh of beta-nmovement for twist or sway (treated separatiy inmost anaiyses) will be the sum
of the appropriate figures in CO~UIIIIS C 9; b, G & H.-and G-&zL c-ohm&G, k & L appiY to a
Vertical periscope configuration.
3. It is not intended that the values in this table imply an accuracy of beam width determination or
SbuCtud rigidity calculation beyond known practicable values and computational procedures.
For most microwave structures it is not practid to require a calculated structural
rigidity of less
than 114 degree twist or sway with a 50 mi/h (22.4 III/S) Basic Wind Speed.
4. For passive reflectors the allowable twist and sway values are assumed to incbrde the effects of
all members contributing to the rotation of the face under wind load. For passives not elevated
far above ground (approximately 5 to 20 feet (1.5 to 6 m) clearance above ground) the stmcm.re
and reflecting face supporting elements are considered an integral unit. Therefore, separating
the structure portion of the defiection is only meaningful when passives are mounted on
conventional microwave structures.
5. The allowable sway for passive reflectors is considered to be 1.4 times the allowable twist to
account for the,amount of rotation of the face about a horizontal axis through the face center and
paraki to the face compared to the amount of beam rotation along the direction of the path as
it deviates from the plane of the incident and reflected beam axis.
6. Linear horizontal movement of antennas and reflectors in the amount experienced for properly
designed microwave antenna system support structures is not considered a problem (no
significant signal degradation atttibuted to this movement).
7. For systems using a frequency of 450 MHz, the half power beam widths may be nearly 2 @
degrees for some antennas. However, structures designed for microwave relay systems will
usud.ly have an inherent rigidity less than the maximum 5 degree deflection angle shown on the
chart.
8. The 3 dB beam widths, 2 0 HP in column
“A” are shown for convenient reference to
mamrfacmrers’ published antenna information. The minimum deflection reference for this
standard is the allowable total deflection aneie Q at the 10 d.B

4. The 3 dB beam widths, 2 9 HP in cohuun “ID” are shown for convenient refmen- to
manufacturers’ standard published antenna information. The minimum deflection reference for
this standard is the allowable total deflection angle 0 at the 10 dB points.
5. The values shown in this table depict angular deflections in two orthogonal planes no& to the
boresight direction: vertical elevation (sway) aud horizontal azimuth (twist). No allowance has
been made for initial offsets due to mount skew, installation tolerances, paths not normal to the
suppon structures, etc. Special considerations will be required in those cases.
6. It is not intended that the values on this table imply an accuracy of beam width determination
or ~buctural rigidity calculation beyond known practicable values and computational
procedures. For most microwave structures it is not practicable to require a calculated structural

Methods For Measuring Guy Initial Tensions
There are two basic methods of measuring guy initial tensions in the field: the direct method
and the indirect method.
A. The Dimt Method (see Figure E8)
A dynamometer (load cell) with a length adjustment device, such as a come-along is
attached to the guy system by &mpmg onto the guy just above the turnbuckle and onto
the anchor shaft below the turnbuckle, thus making the turnbuckle redundant.
.
The come-along is then tightened until the original turnbuckle begins to slacken. At this
point the dynamometer carries all of the guy load to the anchor, and the guy tension
be read directly off the dynamometer dial.
may
One may use this method to set the correct tension by adjusting the come-along tumJ the
proper tension is read on the dynamometer. lI,vo control points are marked, one above
the clamping point on the guy and one on the anchor shaft, and the control length is
measured. The dynamometer and come-along are then removed, and the original
tu.rnbuckle is adjusted to maintain the control length previously measured.
B. The Mhxt
Method (see Figures ES and E9)
There are two Common techniques for the indirect measurement of guy initial tensions:
the pulse or swing method (vibration) (Figure E8) and the tangent intercept or sag
method (geometry) (Figure E9).
1. The Pulse Method (see Figures E8 and EiO)
One sharp jerk is applied to the guy cable near its connection to the anchor causing a
pdse or wave to travel up and down the cable. On the fust return of the pulse to the
lower end of the guy cable the stop watch is started. A number of returns of the pulse
to the anchor are then timed, and the guy tension is calculated from the following
equations:
TM = YLE
8.05P2
(1)
1lAWA-222-F
in which (seeFigure El@
TA = Guy tension at anchor (lb)
TM = Guy tension at mid-guy (lb)
W = Total weight of guy, including ins-,
L = Guy chord length (ft)
etc. (lb)
L=jrn
8)
V = Vertical distance from guy attachment on tower to guy attachment at anchor(fi)
H = Horizontal distance from guy attachment cmtower to guy attachment at anchor
(ft>
N = Number of pulses or swings counted in P secd~
P = Period of time measured for N pulses or swings (s)
Instead of creating a p&e that travels up and down the guy, one may achieve the
same result by causing the guy cable to swing freely fkom side to side while timing N
complete swings. The formulas given above wilI aiso apply fix this approach.
2. The Tangent Intercept Method (see Figure E9)
A line of sight ik established which is tangential to the guy cable near the anchor end
and which intersects the tower leg a distance (tangent intercept) below the guy
attachment point on the mast. Th& tangent intercept distance is either measured or
estimatedand the tension is &cu.&d kom the following equation:
.
WCJiiTyiq
’
TA =
HI
(4)
in which
C = Distance from guy attachment on tower to the center of gravity of the weight W
et>
I = The tangent intercept (ft)
If the weight is uniformly distributed along the guy cable, C will be approximately
equal to H/2. If the weight is not uniformly distributed, the guy may be subdivided
into n segmentsand the following equation may be used:
TA =
SJm
HI

N
S = c WC,
(6)
.

Wi = Weight of segment i (lb)

If the intercept & dlfficdt to establish, one may use the guy slope at the =&or end
with the following equation:
TA = WCJl

in which
01= Guy angle at the anchor (see Figure E9)

INTRODUCTION
The meteorological phenomenon
of ice
accumulation is very difficult t0 predict with
certainty. For tower and pole structures, ice accumulation can be one of the predominant
applied loads.
The first task in developing ice design criteria is to determine if the proposed or existing site
is susceptibleto icing. If the site has a history of ice accumulation, the fiquency, thickness,
type ad duration of icing must be determined Potential sourcesof this Mxmation inch&
the National Weather Service (NWS), local weather agencies, owners of existing towers at
the same site or nearby sites, local landowners, and consulting meteorologists.
Judgmentmust be exercised to detexmine if reported icing events are frequent-or rare
ommnces.
Likewise, in some geographical areaa, seasonal high winds and icing OCCUT
simultaneously: For these situations, simultaneous application of maximum wind and ice
loadings may be required.
The effect of icing on a tower generally
relates
directly
to the type and size of tower and to
the we and thickness of icing. For example, a l/Z-inch radial ice accumulation will have
more impact on a short tower with small members than a tall tower with larger members.
Very dl tmers may experience large thicknesses of in-cloud icing over portions of the
mast. Solki or clear glaze ice has a higher density than that of rime ice or hoarfrost.
Consequently, the effects of increased dead *eight from ice accumulation will vary
depending on the type of ice. Large accumulations of rad.iaI ice can dramaticaIIy increase
the projected wind area of tower members and antennas.

TYPES OF ICING (1) (2) 0)
There are several types of i&g which can accumuiate 011COm.Ulum
‘&on
important to understand where and how they form.
2.1
sQwZUlZS. It iS
Hoarfrost
Hoarfrost is a fluffy 0~ feathery deposit of interkking ice crptd
formed on
objects, usua~y those of d
diameter fialy exposed to the air, such as tree
branches, wires, etc. ‘I&e deposition of hoarfrost is similar to the process by which
dew is formed, except that the temperature af the &osted object must be btiow
freezing. It forms when air, with a dew point below kezing, is brought to saturation
by cooling. Hoarfrost has densities less than 19 lb@ [3 kNjm3].
2.2
RimeIce
Rime ice is a white or m.i,ky pm&
deposit of ice formed by the rapid freezing of
supercooied water drops as they impinge upon an exposed object. It is denser and
harder than hoarfrost, but lighter, softer, and less transparent than glaze. Rime is
composed essentially of discrete ice granules and has densities ranging from 56 w
19 WfG 19 to 3 kNjm3].
Rime is often described as soft or hard. Soft rime is a white, opaque coating of fine
rime deposited especially on points and eilgcs of objects. It is usually fmed in
supercooled fog. On the windward side, soft rime may grow to very thick layer%
long feathery cones, or needles pointing into the wind and having a structure S&.&U
to hoarfrost.
Hard rime is an opaque, granti maas ofi rime fanned by a dense supercooled fog.
Hard rime is compact and amorphous and may build out into the wind as glazed
cones or feathers. The icing of ships and shortit structures by supercooled spray
usually has the characteristics of hard rime.
2.3
Glaze Ice
Glaze ice is a coating of ia, generally clear ‘aud smooth, but usually containing some
air pockets. It is formed on exposed objects by the fretzing of a film of supercooled
water, usually deposited by rain or drizzle. Glaze is denser, harder, and more
transparent than either rime or hoarfrost. Its density may be as high as561b/ft3
C9kN/m3].

CONDITIONS OF ICE FORMATION
‘be me of ice formed is determined by combinations of air temperature, wind speed,&oP
size, and liquid water content or rainfall intensity. The icing problem, therefore, can be
&Gfkd
either by the meteoroIog&I conditions that produce the formation of ice or by the
type of ice that is formed
3.1
Precipitation Icing
This is the most Common icing me&n&m and can occur in any area subject to
freezing rain or drizzle. The ice is formed when warm, moist air is forced Over a
sub-freezing, denser layer of air at the ground surface. As the watm air rises and
condenses, rain falls through the coider air and freezes on objects near the ground.
This frozen deposit is a clear glaze type of ice. Since this kind of weather is caused
by frontal activity, it usually doesn’t last more than a day or two.
Because it is necessary for excess water to be present for glaze to form on exposed
surfaces, often the excess water may freeze into icicles or other distended shapes.
In actd practice, glaze ice can be seen to form on cables and guys in a variety of
shapes ranging from the classical smooth cyhndxical sheath, through crescentson
the windward side and icicles hanging on the underside to large irregular
protuberances spaced along the cable. In most cases, glaze ice develops on
st.nmms as a fairly smooth layer on tie windward surfaces with icicles forming
below horizontal members. The shape of the glaze is apparently dependent on a
combination of factors, such as wind speed, variations in wind speed, the angle of
the wind, the turbulence of the flow, variations in air temperature and duration of the
Storm. Since most of these factors vary @om storm to storm, and even during the
storm a @i.ndticai shape of equivalent weight is assumed for design purposes.
3.2
In-Cloud Icing
This type of icing condition is caused by the impingement of super-cooled water
dropiets of a cloud on the structure or cable. This is rime ice. It can occur in
mountainous areaswhere ciouds exist above the freezing level or in a super-cooled
fog at lower elevations produced by a stable air mass with a strong temperature
inversion. These conditions can last for days or weeks.
The total amount of in-cloud ice deposited is dependent on wind speed. Since wind
speed increases with height above ground, larger amounts of ice will occur towards
the top of taller towers and on the cables that support or are mounted on taller towers.

ANNEX J: CORROSION CONTROL OPTIONS FOR GUY ANCHORS IN DIRECT
CONTACT WITH SOIL

INTRODUCTTON
WY gUY mChOfi in direct contact with soil, designedin accordance with ETA/IIA Standards,have
performed We.ii without detrimental corrosion. However, depending on the required design life of
the stmture and on site-specific conditions, corrosion control measures, in addition to hotAp
gdvmg,
may be required to prevent the premature deterioration of these types of Eu1cfior~
Hot-dip galvanized mater& have been proven m be very effective in resisting corrosion when in
direct contact with soil. In a lo-year study involving 45 types of soils performed by the National
B=au of Standards, only one sample had some penetration of the base steel. A 13-year test in
ciab
( Oneof the most corrosive subgrade enti~nments), indicated that corrosion was effectively
reduced, even thou& the zinc coating was destroyed within the first two years. One theory for this
b~vh
is that the alloy layer between the zinc and steel surface, formed during the hot-dip
&V&g
process, results in a major source of protection. Also, in some soils, a protective layer of
*
a zh compound fmm during the corrosion process, slowing the rate of corrosion.
Despite the protective nature of hot-dip gakmixed materials, there have been reports of
unacceptable adm corrosion occurring within 10 years after installation. Anchor inspectionsare
W=dve
to de-e
if accelerated corrosion is occurring at a given site. Corrosion activity may
VarY widely across a site. Anchor corrosion could occur at one or more of the anchors at a site and
axid O~X at anY depth along a given anchor. Some of the site conditions which may result in
accelerated corrosion are briefly described in this annex. Under these conditions, additional
comsion control measures should be co&k&.
I This annex is not intended to be a treatise on the subject of anchor corrosion but is provided to heip
owners become aware of the potential anchor corrosion problems and the importance of anchor
inspections; and to encourage owners to pursue further information from appropriate specialists for
both new and existing construction. A corrosion specialist may recommend methods to curtaiI or
monitor corrosion discovered at existing sites or present options to consider for proposed sites.

2.1
OF CORROSION
Galvanic Corrosion
Galvanic anchor corrosion occurs in soil when a self-generated current exists due to the
connection of dissimilar metals or due to non-uniform conditions existing along the surface
of an anchor.
When a dissimilar metal is electrically connected to an anchor, a difference in potential
exists between the two materi&. If the dissimilar metal is also in contact with a low
resistivity soil, a complete circuit will exist. Current will flow from one metal to the other
due to the electrical connection and return through the soil completing the circuit. This
naturally occunin g phenomenon is why current is obtained from a battery when its terminals
are electrically Connected.
Dissimilar metals behave in this manner because of the difference in potential each metal
inherently has. Metals may be listed in order of their potential. Such a list is called a galvanic
series. A galvanic series of commonly used metals and alloys is given in Table Jl.
When a complete circuit exists, corrosion occurs on the metal listed higher in the galvanic
series. This is the location where current exits and travels through the soil towards the metal
111
listed lower on the galvanic se&. For example, if a large copper ground Systemin a
conductive soil is directly or i&,rdy
@rough guys) ekctridy connectedto a steel
anchor, corrosion will occur on the anchor&cc steel is listed higher on the galvanic series
than copper.

may occur. Backfill conditions with n~-unif~
composition, compaction,
wntent, porosity, etc., may result in similar localized difkcnces in potential along the
anchor.
2.2
Electrolytic Corrosion
Electrolytic corrosion is very S+
to @~a& msion. The differencebeingthe current
responsible for electrolytic corrosion is from an outside source as opposed to a
self-generated current which is responsible for galvanic corrosion. Outside sources of
current which may result in eiectiolytic ~sion

mining operations, welding a&vi&s, mnr.hincry, or the corrosion control systems for
.,
pipelines or nearby stcuctur~.
For electrolytic corrosion to occur, the md,hg
soil must be conductiveand a CWTtnt
from an outside source must enter and tit an anchor on its path to a hcation Of lower
potential. At the point of entry, the anchor is generally unaffected.At the point of exit, BS
with galvanic corrosion, acceleratedcorrosion may occur.

CORROSION POTENTIAL OF SOL
The corrosion potential at a given site is a function ofmany variables:Fortunately,one of the most
important variables, the conductivity of soil, may be determinedby a geotectical investigation.
3.1
Soil Conductivity
The conductivity of a soil is usually deby measuringrcsistivity. Resistivity is most
often measuredin units of ohm-centimeter (&m+m). 7&e lower the resistivity, the higher
the conductivity. For example,salt water, a very mosive environment,has a resistivity of
approximately 25 ohm-cm. Cleandry sand,which is usually a non-corrosive environment,
may havea resistivi~ of more that 1,000,000ohm-cm. A soil with aresistivity below 2,000
Ohm-cm is generally consideredto be highly carrosive.

3.2
Other Factors
soil resisfivity may vary seasonablyand is gcnemlly a function of mine!ralcomposition,
moisture content and the concentrationof dissolvedsalts. Clays and high moisture content
soils generally have lower resistitiq &an sandsor low moisture contentsoils. However, a

OPTIONS FOR CORROSION CONTROL
None of the following options for wrrosion wntrol eliminate the needfor proper monitoring and
maintenance over the life of the structure.
l
4.1
Site Modifications
.
Improving drainageor placing an impermeablelayer of soil at an anchor location may be
beneficial in reducing the rate of corrosion. Under some situations it may be possible to
ba&ill afouIlcl sn anchor with a high resistivity soil. Adding chemicals to neutralize
existing corrosive soils or to mitigate the actions of micro-organisms may also be sn
alternative. Caremust be taken to ensurethat the required structural capacity of an anchor
s~ppt
is maintained during excavationsand to avoid contaminating the local soil with
toxic substances.Relocating sn anchormay alsobe a reasonablealtemative if the causeor
possibility of acceleratedwrrosion at a site is known to be a localized, isolated condition.
If coppergroundrods serveasgrounding for ananchor,replacingthemwith galvanizedsteel
rods would reduce galvanic corrosion by el’ ’ .* g the presenceof a dissimilar metal.
Special attention should be paid to the ground lead and its connectionto a galvanizedrod,
particularly when the connectionis placed below grade.
Isolation Of anchors from the structure using guy insulators may help to reduce the
transmission of stray currents from outside sourcesand therefore minim& ekctrolytic
corrosion. Galvanic corrosion due to the presence of copper ground rods would be
eliminated if the ground wires were connectedon the tower side of the isolation point.
Isolation may also increasethe efficiency of sacrificial anodesdescribedin 4.4. Bonding the
anchorsto adjacentcathodicallyprotectedpipeliuesor structures may protect the anchorsss
opposedto subjectingthem to possible ekcsolytic corrosion. This should only be donein
accordancewith recommendationsfrom a corrosion specialist.

Cathodic Protection
For both galvanic and electrolytic corrosion,corrosion occurswhen current fi~ws from the
anchor into the surrounding soil. me objective
of cathodic protection is to reversethe
dir&on of current, resulting in current flowing to the anchorinsteadof away from it, thus
preventing corrosion of the anchor.This may be accomplishedby installing galvanicanodes
