100 PRE-ENGINEERED BUILDINGS The pre-engineered building (PEB) discussed here is a commercially designed structure fabricated by the civilian industry to conform to armed forces specifications The advantage of a pre-engineered structure is that it is designed for erection in the shortest possible time Each PEB is shipped as a complete building kit including all necessary materials and instructions for erection Various types of pre-engineered structures are available from numerous manufacturers and all are similar because each is built to military specifications However it would be impractical to try and include all of the structures that each company fabricates so this manual will use a description of the basic procedures for erecting and dismantling only a 40-foot by 100-foot building as an example The typical PEB is a 40 by 100 foot structure but a smaller 20 by 48 foot version PEB uses the same erection principles Layout and erection of either size PEB is normally assigned to Builders working in conjunction with Steelworkers The basic pre-engineered metal building shown in Figure 17-1 is 40 feet wide by 100 feet long Although the unit length of the building is 100 feet the length can be increased or decreased in multiples of 20 feet which are called 20-foot bays The true building length will be equal to the number of 20-foot bays plus 6 inches since each end bay is 20 feet 3 inches The building is 14 feet high at the eave and 20 feet 8 inches at the ridge

Pre-engineered buildings are ideal for use as repair shops or warehouses because they have a large clear floor area without columns or other obstructions as well as straight sidewalls This design allows floor-to-ceiling storage of material and wall-to-wall placement of machinery The column-free interior also permits efficient shop layout and unhindered production flow After a building is up it can be enlarged while in use by 20-foot bays providing additional space under one roof If desired PEBs can be erected side by side in multiples and when a building is no longer needed it can be disassembled stored or

moved to another location and re-erected because only bolted connections are used with no welding or riveting The rigid frame is strong designed for working loads of 20 pounds per square foot load plus the dead load and the load from a 70-mph wind The building can be easily modified to varying lengths and purposes by taking out or adding bays or by substituting various foundation and wall sections A bay is the distance between two column centers or between the end wall and the first column center in from the end wall Formulas used to determine the number of bays frames and intermediate frames in a building are as follows Length divided by 20 = number of bays Bays + 1 = total number of frames Total number of frames - 2 = number of intermediate frames

110 Pre-Erection Work Extensive pre-erection work is required before you start the actual erection of a building and this often includes almost all of the Seabee ratings After the building site is located and laid out by the Engineering Aids it will be cleared and leveled by Equipment Operators Batter boards are set up in pairs where each comer of the foundation is located Builders fabricate the forms for concrete while Steelworkers are cutting bending tying and placing reinforcing steel If this particular building requires under slab utilities such as plumbing and electrical service the Utilitiesman and Construction Electricians will also be on the jobsite Last all under slab work must be completed and pass all Quality Control inspections before concrete is placed and finished Most importantly as far as ease of erection is concerned before the concrete is placed templates for the anchor bolts are attached to the forms and the anchor bolts are inserted through the holes in each Then the anchor bolts and template forms are tied as necessary to make sure the bolts remain vertical You will have only a tolerance of plus or minus one eighth of an inch to work with

CAUTION Proper anchor bolt placement is absolutely critical when erecting a PEB

The threads of the bolts are greased and the nuts placed on them to protect the threads Concrete is then poured into the formwork and worked carefully

While the foundation is being prepared the crew leader will assign personnelcrews to perform various types of preliminary work such as uncrating and inventorying all material on the shipping list bolting up rigid-frame assemblies assembling door eaves and glazing windows Box 1 contains the erection manual the drawings and an inventory list it should be opened first If all of the preliminary work is done correctly the assembly and erection of the entire building is accomplished easily and quickly

into place around these bolts so they remain vertical and in place Finally according to the plans and specifications the slab is poured

All material except the sheeting should be uncrated and laid out in an orderly manner so the parts can be located easily Do not uncrate the sheeting until you are ready to install it When opening the crates use care not to cause any damage to the lumber

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-5

This is important since the lumber can be used for sawhorses and various other items around the jobsite In most situations after the building foundation has been prepared building materials should be placed around the building site near the location where they will be used (Figure 17-2) This action provides the greatest accessibility during assembly

Girts purlins eave struts and brace rods should be equally divided along both sides of the foundation Panels and miscellaneous parts which will not be used immediately should be placed on each side of the foundation on pallets or skids and covered with tarps or a similar type of covering until needed Parts making up the rigid-frame assemblies are laid out ready for assembly and in position for raising Always use care in unloading materials Remember that damaged parts will cause delays in getting the job done To avoid damage lower the materials to the ground slowly and do not drop them Figure 17-3 will help you identify the structural members of the building and their location Each part has a specific purpose and must be installed in its designated location to ensure a sound structure

CAUTION Never omit any part called for on the detailed erection drawings Each of the members parts and accessories of the building is labeled by stencil so it is not necessary to guess which one goes where Refer to the erection plans to find the particular members you need as you work

120 Erection Procedures When all the pre-erection work is completed inspected and passed by Quality Control and your inventory is completed you are ready to start erecting the PEB To give you a general guide to follow this phase of the discussion will introduce you to the basic PEB erection procedures However keep in mind that the drawings provided by the manufacturer must be followed in all cases even where they might differ from information in this training manual The manufacturerrsquos standard practice is to pack an erection manual and a set of drawings in the small parts box (Box 1) shipped with each building

121 Bolting Rigid Frames Before bolting up the rigid-frame assembly clean all the dirt and debris from the top of the foundation and then lay out and bolt the base shoes firmly to the concrete Use appropriate washers between the shoes and nuts Lay out an assembled column and roof beam at each pair of base shoes using one bolt on each side of each base shoe to act as pivots in raising the frame (Figure 17-4) Use drift pins if needed to line up the holes

Figure 17-3 mdash Location and identity of structural members

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-7

122 Frame Erection You can use a gin pole to raise the end frame of the building To prevent distortion of the frame when it is being raised attach a bridle securely to each side of the frame below the splice connection and also to the ridge on the roof beam Drop a driftpin in the frame to prevent the bridle from slipping up Set up the gin pole with a block at the top If a gin pole is not available nail together three 2 x 6rsquos 20 feet long from the longest shipping crate Attach a tag line to the frame (Figure 17-5) Now pull the end frame into the vertical position using a crew of four or five people on the erection line A tag person should have something to take a couple of turns around such as a pole anchored to the ground Then if the frame should go beyond the vertical the tag person would be able to keep it from falling To get the frame started from the ground it should be lifted by several people and propped up as high as practical Bolt an eave strut to each column (Figure 17-5) The eave struts allow the frame to be propped at every stage of the lifting After the frame is in a vertical position install guy lines and props to it so it cannot move

Figure 17-5 mdash Frame erection

Figure 17-4 mdash Frame assembly

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-8

Now raise the second frame in the same way and hold it vertically in place by installing purlins girts and brace rods You can use a crane or other suitable type of power equipment to hoist the frames into place where such equipment is available When power equipment is used use the following suggested procedure

1 Raise the columns bolt them to the base shoes and brace them in place

2 Install all sidewall girts to keep the columns as rigid as possible

3 Bolt the roof beams together and install the gable posts and end-wall header

4 Secure the guy lines and tag lines to the roof beams (Figure 17-6) Attach a wire rope sling at approximately the center of each roof beam

5 Hoist the roof beams into position on top of the columns and bolt them in place

6 When the second rigid-frame section is secured in position install all the roof purlins gable angles and louver angles Note attach the gable clips to the purlins before raising the section into position

7 Install the brace rods and align the first bay

CAUTION The first bay must be aligned before erecting additional bays

123 Brace Rods Brace rods must be installed in the first bay erected (Figure 17-7) These rods are of paramount importance since they hold the frames in an upright position

CAUTION Never omit the brace rods either sidewall or roof The diagonal brace rods are attached to the frames in the roof and sidewall through the slotted holes provided Use a half-round brace rod washer and a flat steel washer under the nuts at each end of the rods With the rods installed plumb each frame column with the carpenterrsquos spirit level Check the distance diagonally from the upper corner of one frame to the lower corner of the adjacent frame When this distance is the same for each rod the columns will be

Figure 17-6 mdash Using power equipment

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-9

plumb After the sidewall rods are installed install the roof rods The length of the roof rods can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the turnbuckle When the two diagonal measurements are the same the end bay will be square

After the two frames have been plumbed and braced square with the diagonal rods and the purlins girts and eave struts have been installed the guy lines or props can be removed and the remaining frames of the building can be erected Note the following precautions

bull Do not omit the diagonal brace rods that are required in the last bay of the building

bull Be sure to bolt the girts purlins and eave struts to the inside holes of the end frames

bull Install the eave struts girts and purlins in each bay as soon as a frame is erected

bull Exercise care to see that the diagonal brace rods are taut and do not project beyond the flanges of the end frame to interfere with end-wall sheeting

bull To raise the next frame attach blocks to the last frame raised and proceed to the next bay frame

124 Sag Rods Sag rods are used to hold the purlins and the girts in a straight line First install the sag rods that connect the two purlins at the ridge of the building Each rod must be attached from the top hole of one purlin through the bottom hole of the adjacent purlin Use two nuts at each end of the sag rods one on each side of each purlin Adjust the nuts on these rods so the purlins are held straight and rigid Next install the sag rods between the purlins below the ridge with the rod attached from the top hole of the upper purlin through the bottom hole of the lower purlin Use two nuts on each end one on each side of each purlin Follow the same procedure with the sidewall sag rods

Figure 17-7 mdash Frame erection

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-10

Remember the roof purlins should show a straight line from end to end of the building Do NOT tighten the sag rods so much that the purlins are twisted out of shape

125 Brace Angles and Base Angles After two or more bays have been erected part of the erection crew can be assigned to install the diagonal brace angles To install the brace angles lay the notched portion against the frame flange and bend it into position (Figure 17-8) Diagonal brace angles are needed to support the inner flange of the frame Be sure to install them so that they are taut

CAUTION Never omit diagonal brace angles They are needed to support the inner flange of the frame Install them so they are taut

While some members of the crew are installing brace angles other members can be installing base angles When assigned this duty first sweep off the top of the concrete foundation so the base angles will set down evenly Bolt the base angles in place with a flat steel washer under the nut Leave the nuts loose to permit later adjustments after the wall sheeting has been applied

126 End-Wall FramingDoorsWindows Refer to the manufacturersrsquo specifications for proper assembly and installation procedures for end-wall framing doors (both sliding and roll-up) and windows as these procedures will vary with available building options

127 Sheeting Always start the sheeting both sidewall and roof at the end of the building toward which the prevailing winds blow For example if the winds are predominately easterlies (from the east) start your sheeting on the west end of the building to ensure that the

Figure 17-8 mdash Diagonal brace angles

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-11

exterior joint in the side laps is away from the blowing of the prevailing winds When installing roof sheeting always use a generous amount of mastic on the upper side of all roof sheets just before moving them to the roof Turn the sheet over and put a bead of mastic on the lip of one side of the corrugation and along one end--near the end but never more than one 1 inch from the end Be sure to apply a horizontal bead of mastic between all sheets in the end laps below the lap holes

128 Building Insulation

The roof sheets must be dry when mastic is applied Mastic is extremely important and you must exercise care whenever applying it to ensure a watertight seal Apply generous beads especially at the comers of the sheets Finally install the ridge cap ensuring proper watershed As previously stated the information in this manual is general information common to pre-engineered buildings

You can insulate a pre-engineered building by any of several methods You can install a blanket type of insulation in 2-foot wide strips to match the width of the roof and wall sheets between the sheets and structural panels at the same time the sheeting is installed Alternatively you can apply a hardboard insulation directly to the inside surface of the structural panels attaching it by helix nails or by sheet metal screws in holes prepared by drilling the structural panels A third option is a wood framing attached to the structural panels and hardboard insulation nailed to the wood

129 Multiple buildings Set Side by Side Pre-engineered buildings can easily be set up side by side to increase the working area under one roof When this is done the adjacent rigid frames should be bolted back to back with a channel spacer at each girt location (Figure 17-9) The eave struts are moved up the roof beam to the second set of holes to provide a gutter This arrangement provides a space between eave struts and you can install a field fabricated gutter Flat unpainted galvanized steel of 24- to 26-gauge material should be used for the gutter with downspouts located as required Gutter ends should be lapped and braze-welded for watertightness Note that wall sheets can be used to form a gutter if the outside corrugations are flattened and all the end laps are braze-welded Roof sheets must be cut shorter where they overhang the gutter The corrugations can be closed with the continuous rubber closure with mastic applied to the top and bottom surfaces of the closure An alternate method is to flatten the corrugations at the gutter and seal them with a glass fabric stripping set in plastic

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-12

130 Disassembly Procedures Disassembling a pre-engineered building is not difficult once you are familiar with the erection procedures However when you disassemble a building be sure to clearly mark or number all of the parts so you will know where the parts go when reassembling the building The following are the main steps of the disassembly procedures

bull Remove the sheeting

bull Remove the windows door leaves and end wall

bull Remove the diagonal brace angles and sag rods

bull Remove the braces girts and purlins

bull Let down the frames

Figure 17-9 mdash Buildings side by side

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-13

131 Marking It is obvious but worth repeating In disassembling a building be sure to clearly mark or number all parts You will then know where the parts go when reassembling the building Carefully handling the building components during disassembly is very important You may have to reuse these same components at another location As you complete disassembly protect those components from damage Any damaged components will have to be replaced and time might not be on your side In planning a disassembly remember you probably no longer have the original shipping containers in which to repack As offered earlier the shipping material makes good sawhorses and sometimes runners for stairs so it is not likely to be around any longer If the disassembled PEB will have significant rehandling or lengthy storage consider making secondary shipping crates of available materials for handling ease and parts accountability

200 K-SPAN BUILDINGS The K-span building has been used in the Seabee community for years (Figure 17-10) The intended uses of these buildings are as varied as the PEBs Training key personnel in the operation of the equipment associated with the K-span is essential Once trained these same personnel can instruct other members of the crew in the safe erection of a K-span The following section gives you some but not all of the key elements associated with K-span construction The ABM 120 and 240 and the UBM 120 and 240 are the machines used in K-span construction The UBM differs from the ABM in

several ways but the two major differences are the computer input system and the seaming system used by the UBM which eliminates the need for bolting the sections together saving workers and time needed for construction All other aspects are the same when comparing the ABM and the UBM ABMs will be discussed in detail below As with other equipment always refer to the manufacturerrsquos manuals

Figure 17-10 mdash Typical K-span building

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-14

210 ABM 120 System The K-span building system consists of a self-contained metal building manufacturing plant known as the ABM 120 SystemAutomatic Building Machine 120 This machine is mounted on a trailer forming a type of ldquomobile factoryrdquo that is easily towed to even the remotest construction sites (Figure 17-11) An important aspect of this machine is that it can easily be transported by air anywhere in the world In fact the ABM System has been certified for air transport by the US Air Force in C-130 C-141 C-5 and C-17

aircraft Once the machine is delivered on site it can be set up in minutes and turn coils of steel into structural strength arched panels The panels are then machine seamed together to form an economical and watertight steel structure The final shape and strength of the fabricated materials eliminate the need for columns beams or any other type of interior support All of the panel-to-panel connections are joined using an electric automatic seaming machine Because of this there are no nuts bolts or any other type of fastener to slow down construction or create leaks Once delivered to the jobsite the ldquoon-siterdquo manufacturing abilities of the machine give the ABM operator complete control of fabrication as well as the quality of the building

Figure 17-11 mdash Automatic Building Machine (ABM) 120

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-15

211 Operating Instructions The main component of the K-span system is the trailer-mounted building machine Figure 17-12 shows the primary components of the trailer as well as the general operational steps

The key position is the operatorrsquos station at the rear of the trailer (Figure 17-13) The individual selected for this station must thoroughly understand the machinersquos operations and manuals because from there the operator controls all the elements required to form the panels The operator must remain at the controls at all times forming panels is a complex operation that becomes easier with a thorough understanding of the manuals The operator first runs the coil stock through the machine to form the panel shape and then cuts it off at the correct length This length is the required length for one arched panel to run continuously from one footer to the other After cutting the panel to length the operator runs it back through the machine to give it the correct arch From the placement of the trailer on site to the completion of the curved panels attention to detail is paramount

Figure 17-12 mdash Trailer-mounted machinery

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-16

If you are selected for the operatorrsquos position as you operate the panel you will be adjusting the various machine operating components Make adjustments for thickness radius and the curving machine according to the manuals Do not permit short cuts in adjustments Any deviations in adjustments or disregard for the instructions found in the operating manuals will leave you with a pile of useless material and an inconsistent building

212 Machinery Placement To avoid setup problems preplanning of the site layout is important Uneven or sloped ground is not a concern as long as the bed of the trailer aligns with the general lay of the existing surface conditions Using Figure 17-14 as a guide consider the following items when placing the machinery

bull Allow maneuvering room for the towing of the trailer or leave it attached to the vehicle (A)

bull The length of the unit is 27 feet 8 inches long by 7 feet 4 inches wide (B)

bull Allow enough room for run-out stands to hold straight panels Stands have a net length of 9 feet 6 inches each (C)

bull Find point X From the center of the curve measure the distance equal to the radius in line with the front of the curved frame From point X scribe an arc equal to the radius This arc will define the path of the curved panel Add 10 feet for run-out stands and legs (D)

bull Allocate room for a storage area required to store coil stock and access for equipment to load it onto the machine (E)

bull Consider the direction the curved panels must be carried after being formed (F)

Figure 17-13 mdash Rear of K-span trailer

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-17

bull Allocate a level area in which to lay the panels on the ground for seaming The building will not be consistent if the panels are not straight when seaming is done (G)

bull Allocate space required for crane operations (H)

213 Foundations While the design of the foundation for a K-span building depends on the buildingrsquos size existing soil conditions and wind load the foundations are simple and easy to construct With the even distribution of the load in a standard arch building the size of the continuous strip footing is smaller and more economical than the foundations for conventional buildings The provided concrete forms and accessories to form the foundations are sufficient for a building 100 feet long by 50 feet wide and forms are available upon request from the manufacturer for different configurations The actual footing construction is based as all projects are on the building plans and specifications The location of the forms placement of steel and the psi (pounds per square inch) of the concrete are critical Since the building is welded to the angle in the footer prior to the concrete placement all aspects of the footer construction must be thoroughly checked for alignment and square Once concrete is placed there is no way to correct mistakes

Figure 17-14 mdash Machinery placement calculations

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-18

As mentioned above forms are provided for the foundation Using Table 17-1 as a guide Figure 17-15 gives you a simple foundation layout by parts designation As noted in Figure 17-15 the cross pipes are not provided in the kit They are provided by the contractor

214 Building Erection With the placement of the machinery and the forming of the building panels in progress your next considerations are the placement and the weight-lifting capabilities of the crane Check the cranersquos weight-lifting chart for its maximum weight capacity This dictates the number of panels you can safely lift at the operating distance or reach As with all crane operations attempting to lift more than the rated capacity or extending beyond a rated operating distance can cause the crane to turn over Attaching the spreader bar to the curved formed panels is a crucial step (Figure 17-16) Failure to clamp the panel tightly can cause the panels to slip and fall with potential harm to personnel and damage to the panel

Figure 17-15 mdash Simple form assembly

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-20

With guidelines attached as shown in Figure 17-17 and personnel attending the lines lift the panels for placement When lifting consider the following points

bull Lift only as high as necessary

bull Position two crew members at each free end to guide each panel in place

bull Remind crew members to keep their feet out from under the ends of the arches

bull Never attempt lifting any sets of panels in high winds

Figure 17-16 mdash Spreader bar attachment

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-21

Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position it so there will be room for the end wall panels After positioning the first set of panels clamp them to the angle plumb them with guidelines and secure the lines to previously anchored stakes Seam each set to standing panels before detaching the spreader bar then detach the spreader bar and continue to place panel sets After about 15 panels (3 sets) are in place measure the building length at both ends just above the forms and at the center of the arch This measurement will seldom be exactly one foot per panel it is usually slightly more but it should be equal for each panel Adjust the ends to equal the center measure Panels are flexible enough to adjust slightly Check these measurements periodically during building construction Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict the end-wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until all panels are set After the arches are in place set the longest end-wall panel in the form plumb and clamp it in place Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb

Figure 17-17 mdash Guide rope use

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-22

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

Figure 17-18 mdash Building foundation concept

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-23

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

Figure 17-19 mdash Concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-24

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Figure 17-26 mdash Anchor angles in a concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-31

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-34

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

Figure 17-32 mdash Base support for guyed towers

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-35 mdash Erection plan for a pivoted tower

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-43

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

100 PRE-ENGINEERED BUILDINGS The pre-engineered building (PEB) discussed here is a commercially designed structure fabricated by the civilian industry to conform to armed forces specifications The advantage of a pre-engineered structure is that it is designed for erection in the shortest possible time Each PEB is shipped as a complete building kit including all necessary materials and instructions for erection Various types of pre-engineered structures are available from numerous manufacturers and all are similar because each is built to military specifications However it would be impractical to try and include all of the structures that each company fabricates so this manual will use a description of the basic procedures for erecting and dismantling only a 40-foot by 100-foot building as an example The typical PEB is a 40 by 100 foot structure but a smaller 20 by 48 foot version PEB uses the same erection principles Layout and erection of either size PEB is normally assigned to Builders working in conjunction with Steelworkers The basic pre-engineered metal building shown in Figure 17-1 is 40 feet wide by 100 feet long Although the unit length of the building is 100 feet the length can be increased or decreased in multiples of 20 feet which are called 20-foot bays The true building length will be equal to the number of 20-foot bays plus 6 inches since each end bay is 20 feet 3 inches The building is 14 feet high at the eave and 20 feet 8 inches at the ridge

Pre-engineered buildings are ideal for use as repair shops or warehouses because they have a large clear floor area without columns or other obstructions as well as straight sidewalls This design allows floor-to-ceiling storage of material and wall-to-wall placement of machinery The column-free interior also permits efficient shop layout and unhindered production flow After a building is up it can be enlarged while in use by 20-foot bays providing additional space under one roof If desired PEBs can be erected side by side in multiples and when a building is no longer needed it can be disassembled stored or

moved to another location and re-erected because only bolted connections are used with no welding or riveting The rigid frame is strong designed for working loads of 20 pounds per square foot load plus the dead load and the load from a 70-mph wind The building can be easily modified to varying lengths and purposes by taking out or adding bays or by substituting various foundation and wall sections A bay is the distance between two column centers or between the end wall and the first column center in from the end wall Formulas used to determine the number of bays frames and intermediate frames in a building are as follows Length divided by 20 = number of bays Bays + 1 = total number of frames Total number of frames - 2 = number of intermediate frames

110 Pre-Erection Work Extensive pre-erection work is required before you start the actual erection of a building and this often includes almost all of the Seabee ratings After the building site is located and laid out by the Engineering Aids it will be cleared and leveled by Equipment Operators Batter boards are set up in pairs where each comer of the foundation is located Builders fabricate the forms for concrete while Steelworkers are cutting bending tying and placing reinforcing steel If this particular building requires under slab utilities such as plumbing and electrical service the Utilitiesman and Construction Electricians will also be on the jobsite Last all under slab work must be completed and pass all Quality Control inspections before concrete is placed and finished Most importantly as far as ease of erection is concerned before the concrete is placed templates for the anchor bolts are attached to the forms and the anchor bolts are inserted through the holes in each Then the anchor bolts and template forms are tied as necessary to make sure the bolts remain vertical You will have only a tolerance of plus or minus one eighth of an inch to work with

CAUTION Proper anchor bolt placement is absolutely critical when erecting a PEB

The threads of the bolts are greased and the nuts placed on them to protect the threads Concrete is then poured into the formwork and worked carefully

While the foundation is being prepared the crew leader will assign personnelcrews to perform various types of preliminary work such as uncrating and inventorying all material on the shipping list bolting up rigid-frame assemblies assembling door eaves and glazing windows Box 1 contains the erection manual the drawings and an inventory list it should be opened first If all of the preliminary work is done correctly the assembly and erection of the entire building is accomplished easily and quickly

into place around these bolts so they remain vertical and in place Finally according to the plans and specifications the slab is poured

All material except the sheeting should be uncrated and laid out in an orderly manner so the parts can be located easily Do not uncrate the sheeting until you are ready to install it When opening the crates use care not to cause any damage to the lumber

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-5

This is important since the lumber can be used for sawhorses and various other items around the jobsite In most situations after the building foundation has been prepared building materials should be placed around the building site near the location where they will be used (Figure 17-2) This action provides the greatest accessibility during assembly

Girts purlins eave struts and brace rods should be equally divided along both sides of the foundation Panels and miscellaneous parts which will not be used immediately should be placed on each side of the foundation on pallets or skids and covered with tarps or a similar type of covering until needed Parts making up the rigid-frame assemblies are laid out ready for assembly and in position for raising Always use care in unloading materials Remember that damaged parts will cause delays in getting the job done To avoid damage lower the materials to the ground slowly and do not drop them Figure 17-3 will help you identify the structural members of the building and their location Each part has a specific purpose and must be installed in its designated location to ensure a sound structure

CAUTION Never omit any part called for on the detailed erection drawings Each of the members parts and accessories of the building is labeled by stencil so it is not necessary to guess which one goes where Refer to the erection plans to find the particular members you need as you work

120 Erection Procedures When all the pre-erection work is completed inspected and passed by Quality Control and your inventory is completed you are ready to start erecting the PEB To give you a general guide to follow this phase of the discussion will introduce you to the basic PEB erection procedures However keep in mind that the drawings provided by the manufacturer must be followed in all cases even where they might differ from information in this training manual The manufacturerrsquos standard practice is to pack an erection manual and a set of drawings in the small parts box (Box 1) shipped with each building

121 Bolting Rigid Frames Before bolting up the rigid-frame assembly clean all the dirt and debris from the top of the foundation and then lay out and bolt the base shoes firmly to the concrete Use appropriate washers between the shoes and nuts Lay out an assembled column and roof beam at each pair of base shoes using one bolt on each side of each base shoe to act as pivots in raising the frame (Figure 17-4) Use drift pins if needed to line up the holes

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-7

122 Frame Erection You can use a gin pole to raise the end frame of the building To prevent distortion of the frame when it is being raised attach a bridle securely to each side of the frame below the splice connection and also to the ridge on the roof beam Drop a driftpin in the frame to prevent the bridle from slipping up Set up the gin pole with a block at the top If a gin pole is not available nail together three 2 x 6rsquos 20 feet long from the longest shipping crate Attach a tag line to the frame (Figure 17-5) Now pull the end frame into the vertical position using a crew of four or five people on the erection line A tag person should have something to take a couple of turns around such as a pole anchored to the ground Then if the frame should go beyond the vertical the tag person would be able to keep it from falling To get the frame started from the ground it should be lifted by several people and propped up as high as practical Bolt an eave strut to each column (Figure 17-5) The eave struts allow the frame to be propped at every stage of the lifting After the frame is in a vertical position install guy lines and props to it so it cannot move

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-8

Now raise the second frame in the same way and hold it vertically in place by installing purlins girts and brace rods You can use a crane or other suitable type of power equipment to hoist the frames into place where such equipment is available When power equipment is used use the following suggested procedure

1 Raise the columns bolt them to the base shoes and brace them in place

2 Install all sidewall girts to keep the columns as rigid as possible

3 Bolt the roof beams together and install the gable posts and end-wall header

4 Secure the guy lines and tag lines to the roof beams (Figure 17-6) Attach a wire rope sling at approximately the center of each roof beam

5 Hoist the roof beams into position on top of the columns and bolt them in place

6 When the second rigid-frame section is secured in position install all the roof purlins gable angles and louver angles Note attach the gable clips to the purlins before raising the section into position

7 Install the brace rods and align the first bay

CAUTION The first bay must be aligned before erecting additional bays

123 Brace Rods Brace rods must be installed in the first bay erected (Figure 17-7) These rods are of paramount importance since they hold the frames in an upright position

CAUTION Never omit the brace rods either sidewall or roof The diagonal brace rods are attached to the frames in the roof and sidewall through the slotted holes provided Use a half-round brace rod washer and a flat steel washer under the nuts at each end of the rods With the rods installed plumb each frame column with the carpenterrsquos spirit level Check the distance diagonally from the upper corner of one frame to the lower corner of the adjacent frame When this distance is the same for each rod the columns will be

Figure 17-6 mdash Using power equipment

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-9

plumb After the sidewall rods are installed install the roof rods The length of the roof rods can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the turnbuckle When the two diagonal measurements are the same the end bay will be square

After the two frames have been plumbed and braced square with the diagonal rods and the purlins girts and eave struts have been installed the guy lines or props can be removed and the remaining frames of the building can be erected Note the following precautions

bull Do not omit the diagonal brace rods that are required in the last bay of the building

bull Be sure to bolt the girts purlins and eave struts to the inside holes of the end frames

bull Install the eave struts girts and purlins in each bay as soon as a frame is erected

bull Exercise care to see that the diagonal brace rods are taut and do not project beyond the flanges of the end frame to interfere with end-wall sheeting

bull To raise the next frame attach blocks to the last frame raised and proceed to the next bay frame

124 Sag Rods Sag rods are used to hold the purlins and the girts in a straight line First install the sag rods that connect the two purlins at the ridge of the building Each rod must be attached from the top hole of one purlin through the bottom hole of the adjacent purlin Use two nuts at each end of the sag rods one on each side of each purlin Adjust the nuts on these rods so the purlins are held straight and rigid Next install the sag rods between the purlins below the ridge with the rod attached from the top hole of the upper purlin through the bottom hole of the lower purlin Use two nuts on each end one on each side of each purlin Follow the same procedure with the sidewall sag rods

Figure 17-7 mdash Frame erection

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-10

Remember the roof purlins should show a straight line from end to end of the building Do NOT tighten the sag rods so much that the purlins are twisted out of shape

125 Brace Angles and Base Angles After two or more bays have been erected part of the erection crew can be assigned to install the diagonal brace angles To install the brace angles lay the notched portion against the frame flange and bend it into position (Figure 17-8) Diagonal brace angles are needed to support the inner flange of the frame Be sure to install them so that they are taut

CAUTION Never omit diagonal brace angles They are needed to support the inner flange of the frame Install them so they are taut

While some members of the crew are installing brace angles other members can be installing base angles When assigned this duty first sweep off the top of the concrete foundation so the base angles will set down evenly Bolt the base angles in place with a flat steel washer under the nut Leave the nuts loose to permit later adjustments after the wall sheeting has been applied

126 End-Wall FramingDoorsWindows Refer to the manufacturersrsquo specifications for proper assembly and installation procedures for end-wall framing doors (both sliding and roll-up) and windows as these procedures will vary with available building options

127 Sheeting Always start the sheeting both sidewall and roof at the end of the building toward which the prevailing winds blow For example if the winds are predominately easterlies (from the east) start your sheeting on the west end of the building to ensure that the

Figure 17-8 mdash Diagonal brace angles

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-11

exterior joint in the side laps is away from the blowing of the prevailing winds When installing roof sheeting always use a generous amount of mastic on the upper side of all roof sheets just before moving them to the roof Turn the sheet over and put a bead of mastic on the lip of one side of the corrugation and along one end--near the end but never more than one 1 inch from the end Be sure to apply a horizontal bead of mastic between all sheets in the end laps below the lap holes

128 Building Insulation

The roof sheets must be dry when mastic is applied Mastic is extremely important and you must exercise care whenever applying it to ensure a watertight seal Apply generous beads especially at the comers of the sheets Finally install the ridge cap ensuring proper watershed As previously stated the information in this manual is general information common to pre-engineered buildings

You can insulate a pre-engineered building by any of several methods You can install a blanket type of insulation in 2-foot wide strips to match the width of the roof and wall sheets between the sheets and structural panels at the same time the sheeting is installed Alternatively you can apply a hardboard insulation directly to the inside surface of the structural panels attaching it by helix nails or by sheet metal screws in holes prepared by drilling the structural panels A third option is a wood framing attached to the structural panels and hardboard insulation nailed to the wood

129 Multiple buildings Set Side by Side Pre-engineered buildings can easily be set up side by side to increase the working area under one roof When this is done the adjacent rigid frames should be bolted back to back with a channel spacer at each girt location (Figure 17-9) The eave struts are moved up the roof beam to the second set of holes to provide a gutter This arrangement provides a space between eave struts and you can install a field fabricated gutter Flat unpainted galvanized steel of 24- to 26-gauge material should be used for the gutter with downspouts located as required Gutter ends should be lapped and braze-welded for watertightness Note that wall sheets can be used to form a gutter if the outside corrugations are flattened and all the end laps are braze-welded Roof sheets must be cut shorter where they overhang the gutter The corrugations can be closed with the continuous rubber closure with mastic applied to the top and bottom surfaces of the closure An alternate method is to flatten the corrugations at the gutter and seal them with a glass fabric stripping set in plastic

130 Disassembly Procedures Disassembling a pre-engineered building is not difficult once you are familiar with the erection procedures However when you disassemble a building be sure to clearly mark or number all of the parts so you will know where the parts go when reassembling the building The following are the main steps of the disassembly procedures

bull Remove the sheeting

bull Remove the windows door leaves and end wall

bull Remove the diagonal brace angles and sag rods

bull Remove the braces girts and purlins

bull Let down the frames

Figure 17-9 mdash Buildings side by side

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-13

131 Marking It is obvious but worth repeating In disassembling a building be sure to clearly mark or number all parts You will then know where the parts go when reassembling the building Carefully handling the building components during disassembly is very important You may have to reuse these same components at another location As you complete disassembly protect those components from damage Any damaged components will have to be replaced and time might not be on your side In planning a disassembly remember you probably no longer have the original shipping containers in which to repack As offered earlier the shipping material makes good sawhorses and sometimes runners for stairs so it is not likely to be around any longer If the disassembled PEB will have significant rehandling or lengthy storage consider making secondary shipping crates of available materials for handling ease and parts accountability

200 K-SPAN BUILDINGS The K-span building has been used in the Seabee community for years (Figure 17-10) The intended uses of these buildings are as varied as the PEBs Training key personnel in the operation of the equipment associated with the K-span is essential Once trained these same personnel can instruct other members of the crew in the safe erection of a K-span The following section gives you some but not all of the key elements associated with K-span construction The ABM 120 and 240 and the UBM 120 and 240 are the machines used in K-span construction The UBM differs from the ABM in

several ways but the two major differences are the computer input system and the seaming system used by the UBM which eliminates the need for bolting the sections together saving workers and time needed for construction All other aspects are the same when comparing the ABM and the UBM ABMs will be discussed in detail below As with other equipment always refer to the manufacturerrsquos manuals

Figure 17-10 mdash Typical K-span building

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-14

210 ABM 120 System The K-span building system consists of a self-contained metal building manufacturing plant known as the ABM 120 SystemAutomatic Building Machine 120 This machine is mounted on a trailer forming a type of ldquomobile factoryrdquo that is easily towed to even the remotest construction sites (Figure 17-11) An important aspect of this machine is that it can easily be transported by air anywhere in the world In fact the ABM System has been certified for air transport by the US Air Force in C-130 C-141 C-5 and C-17

aircraft Once the machine is delivered on site it can be set up in minutes and turn coils of steel into structural strength arched panels The panels are then machine seamed together to form an economical and watertight steel structure The final shape and strength of the fabricated materials eliminate the need for columns beams or any other type of interior support All of the panel-to-panel connections are joined using an electric automatic seaming machine Because of this there are no nuts bolts or any other type of fastener to slow down construction or create leaks Once delivered to the jobsite the ldquoon-siterdquo manufacturing abilities of the machine give the ABM operator complete control of fabrication as well as the quality of the building

Figure 17-11 mdash Automatic Building Machine (ABM) 120

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-15

211 Operating Instructions The main component of the K-span system is the trailer-mounted building machine Figure 17-12 shows the primary components of the trailer as well as the general operational steps

The key position is the operatorrsquos station at the rear of the trailer (Figure 17-13) The individual selected for this station must thoroughly understand the machinersquos operations and manuals because from there the operator controls all the elements required to form the panels The operator must remain at the controls at all times forming panels is a complex operation that becomes easier with a thorough understanding of the manuals The operator first runs the coil stock through the machine to form the panel shape and then cuts it off at the correct length This length is the required length for one arched panel to run continuously from one footer to the other After cutting the panel to length the operator runs it back through the machine to give it the correct arch From the placement of the trailer on site to the completion of the curved panels attention to detail is paramount

Figure 17-12 mdash Trailer-mounted machinery

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-16

If you are selected for the operatorrsquos position as you operate the panel you will be adjusting the various machine operating components Make adjustments for thickness radius and the curving machine according to the manuals Do not permit short cuts in adjustments Any deviations in adjustments or disregard for the instructions found in the operating manuals will leave you with a pile of useless material and an inconsistent building

212 Machinery Placement To avoid setup problems preplanning of the site layout is important Uneven or sloped ground is not a concern as long as the bed of the trailer aligns with the general lay of the existing surface conditions Using Figure 17-14 as a guide consider the following items when placing the machinery

bull Allow maneuvering room for the towing of the trailer or leave it attached to the vehicle (A)

bull The length of the unit is 27 feet 8 inches long by 7 feet 4 inches wide (B)

bull Allow enough room for run-out stands to hold straight panels Stands have a net length of 9 feet 6 inches each (C)

bull Find point X From the center of the curve measure the distance equal to the radius in line with the front of the curved frame From point X scribe an arc equal to the radius This arc will define the path of the curved panel Add 10 feet for run-out stands and legs (D)

bull Allocate room for a storage area required to store coil stock and access for equipment to load it onto the machine (E)

bull Consider the direction the curved panels must be carried after being formed (F)

Figure 17-13 mdash Rear of K-span trailer

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-17

bull Allocate a level area in which to lay the panels on the ground for seaming The building will not be consistent if the panels are not straight when seaming is done (G)

bull Allocate space required for crane operations (H)

213 Foundations While the design of the foundation for a K-span building depends on the buildingrsquos size existing soil conditions and wind load the foundations are simple and easy to construct With the even distribution of the load in a standard arch building the size of the continuous strip footing is smaller and more economical than the foundations for conventional buildings The provided concrete forms and accessories to form the foundations are sufficient for a building 100 feet long by 50 feet wide and forms are available upon request from the manufacturer for different configurations The actual footing construction is based as all projects are on the building plans and specifications The location of the forms placement of steel and the psi (pounds per square inch) of the concrete are critical Since the building is welded to the angle in the footer prior to the concrete placement all aspects of the footer construction must be thoroughly checked for alignment and square Once concrete is placed there is no way to correct mistakes

Figure 17-14 mdash Machinery placement calculations

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-18

As mentioned above forms are provided for the foundation Using Table 17-1 as a guide Figure 17-15 gives you a simple foundation layout by parts designation As noted in Figure 17-15 the cross pipes are not provided in the kit They are provided by the contractor

214 Building Erection With the placement of the machinery and the forming of the building panels in progress your next considerations are the placement and the weight-lifting capabilities of the crane Check the cranersquos weight-lifting chart for its maximum weight capacity This dictates the number of panels you can safely lift at the operating distance or reach As with all crane operations attempting to lift more than the rated capacity or extending beyond a rated operating distance can cause the crane to turn over Attaching the spreader bar to the curved formed panels is a crucial step (Figure 17-16) Failure to clamp the panel tightly can cause the panels to slip and fall with potential harm to personnel and damage to the panel

Figure 17-15 mdash Simple form assembly

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-20

With guidelines attached as shown in Figure 17-17 and personnel attending the lines lift the panels for placement When lifting consider the following points

bull Lift only as high as necessary

bull Position two crew members at each free end to guide each panel in place

bull Remind crew members to keep their feet out from under the ends of the arches

bull Never attempt lifting any sets of panels in high winds

Figure 17-16 mdash Spreader bar attachment

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-21

Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position it so there will be room for the end wall panels After positioning the first set of panels clamp them to the angle plumb them with guidelines and secure the lines to previously anchored stakes Seam each set to standing panels before detaching the spreader bar then detach the spreader bar and continue to place panel sets After about 15 panels (3 sets) are in place measure the building length at both ends just above the forms and at the center of the arch This measurement will seldom be exactly one foot per panel it is usually slightly more but it should be equal for each panel Adjust the ends to equal the center measure Panels are flexible enough to adjust slightly Check these measurements periodically during building construction Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict the end-wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until all panels are set After the arches are in place set the longest end-wall panel in the form plumb and clamp it in place Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb

Figure 17-17 mdash Guide rope use

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-22

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

Figure 17-18 mdash Building foundation concept

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-23

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

Figure 17-19 mdash Concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-24

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

Figure 17-25 mdash ABM 120 and 240 comparison chart

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-30

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Figure 17-26 mdash Anchor angles in a concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-31

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

Figure 17-29 mdash Completed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-33

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-34

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

Figure 17-32 mdash Base support for guyed towers

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

4543 Concrete Anchor Poured-in-place concrete anchors are normally used for high stress applications and where multiple guys are attached to a single anchorage

Summary This chapter discussed the assembly and disassembly of pre-engineered and K-span buildings It also discussed steel towers and antennas and presented information on how to secure them with different types of guys and anchors Falls and falling objects are the leading cause of injuries in the construction industry Working with PEBs K-spans and towers always includes working with elevated heights Use your situational awareness remember to follow the prescribed safety precautions and use your common sense donrsquot get under a hoisting load

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

100 PRE-ENGINEERED BUILDINGS The pre-engineered building (PEB) discussed here is a commercially designed structure fabricated by the civilian industry to conform to armed forces specifications The advantage of a pre-engineered structure is that it is designed for erection in the shortest possible time Each PEB is shipped as a complete building kit including all necessary materials and instructions for erection Various types of pre-engineered structures are available from numerous manufacturers and all are similar because each is built to military specifications However it would be impractical to try and include all of the structures that each company fabricates so this manual will use a description of the basic procedures for erecting and dismantling only a 40-foot by 100-foot building as an example The typical PEB is a 40 by 100 foot structure but a smaller 20 by 48 foot version PEB uses the same erection principles Layout and erection of either size PEB is normally assigned to Builders working in conjunction with Steelworkers The basic pre-engineered metal building shown in Figure 17-1 is 40 feet wide by 100 feet long Although the unit length of the building is 100 feet the length can be increased or decreased in multiples of 20 feet which are called 20-foot bays The true building length will be equal to the number of 20-foot bays plus 6 inches since each end bay is 20 feet 3 inches The building is 14 feet high at the eave and 20 feet 8 inches at the ridge

Pre-engineered buildings are ideal for use as repair shops or warehouses because they have a large clear floor area without columns or other obstructions as well as straight sidewalls This design allows floor-to-ceiling storage of material and wall-to-wall placement of machinery The column-free interior also permits efficient shop layout and unhindered production flow After a building is up it can be enlarged while in use by 20-foot bays providing additional space under one roof If desired PEBs can be erected side by side in multiples and when a building is no longer needed it can be disassembled stored or

moved to another location and re-erected because only bolted connections are used with no welding or riveting The rigid frame is strong designed for working loads of 20 pounds per square foot load plus the dead load and the load from a 70-mph wind The building can be easily modified to varying lengths and purposes by taking out or adding bays or by substituting various foundation and wall sections A bay is the distance between two column centers or between the end wall and the first column center in from the end wall Formulas used to determine the number of bays frames and intermediate frames in a building are as follows Length divided by 20 = number of bays Bays + 1 = total number of frames Total number of frames - 2 = number of intermediate frames

110 Pre-Erection Work Extensive pre-erection work is required before you start the actual erection of a building and this often includes almost all of the Seabee ratings After the building site is located and laid out by the Engineering Aids it will be cleared and leveled by Equipment Operators Batter boards are set up in pairs where each comer of the foundation is located Builders fabricate the forms for concrete while Steelworkers are cutting bending tying and placing reinforcing steel If this particular building requires under slab utilities such as plumbing and electrical service the Utilitiesman and Construction Electricians will also be on the jobsite Last all under slab work must be completed and pass all Quality Control inspections before concrete is placed and finished Most importantly as far as ease of erection is concerned before the concrete is placed templates for the anchor bolts are attached to the forms and the anchor bolts are inserted through the holes in each Then the anchor bolts and template forms are tied as necessary to make sure the bolts remain vertical You will have only a tolerance of plus or minus one eighth of an inch to work with

CAUTION Proper anchor bolt placement is absolutely critical when erecting a PEB

The threads of the bolts are greased and the nuts placed on them to protect the threads Concrete is then poured into the formwork and worked carefully

While the foundation is being prepared the crew leader will assign personnelcrews to perform various types of preliminary work such as uncrating and inventorying all material on the shipping list bolting up rigid-frame assemblies assembling door eaves and glazing windows Box 1 contains the erection manual the drawings and an inventory list it should be opened first If all of the preliminary work is done correctly the assembly and erection of the entire building is accomplished easily and quickly

into place around these bolts so they remain vertical and in place Finally according to the plans and specifications the slab is poured

All material except the sheeting should be uncrated and laid out in an orderly manner so the parts can be located easily Do not uncrate the sheeting until you are ready to install it When opening the crates use care not to cause any damage to the lumber

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-5

This is important since the lumber can be used for sawhorses and various other items around the jobsite In most situations after the building foundation has been prepared building materials should be placed around the building site near the location where they will be used (Figure 17-2) This action provides the greatest accessibility during assembly

Girts purlins eave struts and brace rods should be equally divided along both sides of the foundation Panels and miscellaneous parts which will not be used immediately should be placed on each side of the foundation on pallets or skids and covered with tarps or a similar type of covering until needed Parts making up the rigid-frame assemblies are laid out ready for assembly and in position for raising Always use care in unloading materials Remember that damaged parts will cause delays in getting the job done To avoid damage lower the materials to the ground slowly and do not drop them Figure 17-3 will help you identify the structural members of the building and their location Each part has a specific purpose and must be installed in its designated location to ensure a sound structure

CAUTION Never omit any part called for on the detailed erection drawings Each of the members parts and accessories of the building is labeled by stencil so it is not necessary to guess which one goes where Refer to the erection plans to find the particular members you need as you work

120 Erection Procedures When all the pre-erection work is completed inspected and passed by Quality Control and your inventory is completed you are ready to start erecting the PEB To give you a general guide to follow this phase of the discussion will introduce you to the basic PEB erection procedures However keep in mind that the drawings provided by the manufacturer must be followed in all cases even where they might differ from information in this training manual The manufacturerrsquos standard practice is to pack an erection manual and a set of drawings in the small parts box (Box 1) shipped with each building

121 Bolting Rigid Frames Before bolting up the rigid-frame assembly clean all the dirt and debris from the top of the foundation and then lay out and bolt the base shoes firmly to the concrete Use appropriate washers between the shoes and nuts Lay out an assembled column and roof beam at each pair of base shoes using one bolt on each side of each base shoe to act as pivots in raising the frame (Figure 17-4) Use drift pins if needed to line up the holes

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-7

122 Frame Erection You can use a gin pole to raise the end frame of the building To prevent distortion of the frame when it is being raised attach a bridle securely to each side of the frame below the splice connection and also to the ridge on the roof beam Drop a driftpin in the frame to prevent the bridle from slipping up Set up the gin pole with a block at the top If a gin pole is not available nail together three 2 x 6rsquos 20 feet long from the longest shipping crate Attach a tag line to the frame (Figure 17-5) Now pull the end frame into the vertical position using a crew of four or five people on the erection line A tag person should have something to take a couple of turns around such as a pole anchored to the ground Then if the frame should go beyond the vertical the tag person would be able to keep it from falling To get the frame started from the ground it should be lifted by several people and propped up as high as practical Bolt an eave strut to each column (Figure 17-5) The eave struts allow the frame to be propped at every stage of the lifting After the frame is in a vertical position install guy lines and props to it so it cannot move

Now raise the second frame in the same way and hold it vertically in place by installing purlins girts and brace rods You can use a crane or other suitable type of power equipment to hoist the frames into place where such equipment is available When power equipment is used use the following suggested procedure

1 Raise the columns bolt them to the base shoes and brace them in place

2 Install all sidewall girts to keep the columns as rigid as possible

3 Bolt the roof beams together and install the gable posts and end-wall header

4 Secure the guy lines and tag lines to the roof beams (Figure 17-6) Attach a wire rope sling at approximately the center of each roof beam

5 Hoist the roof beams into position on top of the columns and bolt them in place

6 When the second rigid-frame section is secured in position install all the roof purlins gable angles and louver angles Note attach the gable clips to the purlins before raising the section into position

7 Install the brace rods and align the first bay

CAUTION The first bay must be aligned before erecting additional bays

123 Brace Rods Brace rods must be installed in the first bay erected (Figure 17-7) These rods are of paramount importance since they hold the frames in an upright position

CAUTION Never omit the brace rods either sidewall or roof The diagonal brace rods are attached to the frames in the roof and sidewall through the slotted holes provided Use a half-round brace rod washer and a flat steel washer under the nuts at each end of the rods With the rods installed plumb each frame column with the carpenterrsquos spirit level Check the distance diagonally from the upper corner of one frame to the lower corner of the adjacent frame When this distance is the same for each rod the columns will be

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-9

plumb After the sidewall rods are installed install the roof rods The length of the roof rods can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the turnbuckle When the two diagonal measurements are the same the end bay will be square

After the two frames have been plumbed and braced square with the diagonal rods and the purlins girts and eave struts have been installed the guy lines or props can be removed and the remaining frames of the building can be erected Note the following precautions

bull Do not omit the diagonal brace rods that are required in the last bay of the building

bull Be sure to bolt the girts purlins and eave struts to the inside holes of the end frames

bull Install the eave struts girts and purlins in each bay as soon as a frame is erected

bull Exercise care to see that the diagonal brace rods are taut and do not project beyond the flanges of the end frame to interfere with end-wall sheeting

bull To raise the next frame attach blocks to the last frame raised and proceed to the next bay frame

124 Sag Rods Sag rods are used to hold the purlins and the girts in a straight line First install the sag rods that connect the two purlins at the ridge of the building Each rod must be attached from the top hole of one purlin through the bottom hole of the adjacent purlin Use two nuts at each end of the sag rods one on each side of each purlin Adjust the nuts on these rods so the purlins are held straight and rigid Next install the sag rods between the purlins below the ridge with the rod attached from the top hole of the upper purlin through the bottom hole of the lower purlin Use two nuts on each end one on each side of each purlin Follow the same procedure with the sidewall sag rods

Figure 17-7 mdash Frame erection

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-10

Remember the roof purlins should show a straight line from end to end of the building Do NOT tighten the sag rods so much that the purlins are twisted out of shape

125 Brace Angles and Base Angles After two or more bays have been erected part of the erection crew can be assigned to install the diagonal brace angles To install the brace angles lay the notched portion against the frame flange and bend it into position (Figure 17-8) Diagonal brace angles are needed to support the inner flange of the frame Be sure to install them so that they are taut

CAUTION Never omit diagonal brace angles They are needed to support the inner flange of the frame Install them so they are taut

While some members of the crew are installing brace angles other members can be installing base angles When assigned this duty first sweep off the top of the concrete foundation so the base angles will set down evenly Bolt the base angles in place with a flat steel washer under the nut Leave the nuts loose to permit later adjustments after the wall sheeting has been applied

126 End-Wall FramingDoorsWindows Refer to the manufacturersrsquo specifications for proper assembly and installation procedures for end-wall framing doors (both sliding and roll-up) and windows as these procedures will vary with available building options

127 Sheeting Always start the sheeting both sidewall and roof at the end of the building toward which the prevailing winds blow For example if the winds are predominately easterlies (from the east) start your sheeting on the west end of the building to ensure that the

Figure 17-8 mdash Diagonal brace angles

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-11

exterior joint in the side laps is away from the blowing of the prevailing winds When installing roof sheeting always use a generous amount of mastic on the upper side of all roof sheets just before moving them to the roof Turn the sheet over and put a bead of mastic on the lip of one side of the corrugation and along one end--near the end but never more than one 1 inch from the end Be sure to apply a horizontal bead of mastic between all sheets in the end laps below the lap holes

128 Building Insulation

The roof sheets must be dry when mastic is applied Mastic is extremely important and you must exercise care whenever applying it to ensure a watertight seal Apply generous beads especially at the comers of the sheets Finally install the ridge cap ensuring proper watershed As previously stated the information in this manual is general information common to pre-engineered buildings

You can insulate a pre-engineered building by any of several methods You can install a blanket type of insulation in 2-foot wide strips to match the width of the roof and wall sheets between the sheets and structural panels at the same time the sheeting is installed Alternatively you can apply a hardboard insulation directly to the inside surface of the structural panels attaching it by helix nails or by sheet metal screws in holes prepared by drilling the structural panels A third option is a wood framing attached to the structural panels and hardboard insulation nailed to the wood

129 Multiple buildings Set Side by Side Pre-engineered buildings can easily be set up side by side to increase the working area under one roof When this is done the adjacent rigid frames should be bolted back to back with a channel spacer at each girt location (Figure 17-9) The eave struts are moved up the roof beam to the second set of holes to provide a gutter This arrangement provides a space between eave struts and you can install a field fabricated gutter Flat unpainted galvanized steel of 24- to 26-gauge material should be used for the gutter with downspouts located as required Gutter ends should be lapped and braze-welded for watertightness Note that wall sheets can be used to form a gutter if the outside corrugations are flattened and all the end laps are braze-welded Roof sheets must be cut shorter where they overhang the gutter The corrugations can be closed with the continuous rubber closure with mastic applied to the top and bottom surfaces of the closure An alternate method is to flatten the corrugations at the gutter and seal them with a glass fabric stripping set in plastic

130 Disassembly Procedures Disassembling a pre-engineered building is not difficult once you are familiar with the erection procedures However when you disassemble a building be sure to clearly mark or number all of the parts so you will know where the parts go when reassembling the building The following are the main steps of the disassembly procedures

bull Remove the sheeting

bull Remove the windows door leaves and end wall

bull Remove the diagonal brace angles and sag rods

bull Remove the braces girts and purlins

bull Let down the frames

Figure 17-9 mdash Buildings side by side

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-13

131 Marking It is obvious but worth repeating In disassembling a building be sure to clearly mark or number all parts You will then know where the parts go when reassembling the building Carefully handling the building components during disassembly is very important You may have to reuse these same components at another location As you complete disassembly protect those components from damage Any damaged components will have to be replaced and time might not be on your side In planning a disassembly remember you probably no longer have the original shipping containers in which to repack As offered earlier the shipping material makes good sawhorses and sometimes runners for stairs so it is not likely to be around any longer If the disassembled PEB will have significant rehandling or lengthy storage consider making secondary shipping crates of available materials for handling ease and parts accountability

200 K-SPAN BUILDINGS The K-span building has been used in the Seabee community for years (Figure 17-10) The intended uses of these buildings are as varied as the PEBs Training key personnel in the operation of the equipment associated with the K-span is essential Once trained these same personnel can instruct other members of the crew in the safe erection of a K-span The following section gives you some but not all of the key elements associated with K-span construction The ABM 120 and 240 and the UBM 120 and 240 are the machines used in K-span construction The UBM differs from the ABM in

several ways but the two major differences are the computer input system and the seaming system used by the UBM which eliminates the need for bolting the sections together saving workers and time needed for construction All other aspects are the same when comparing the ABM and the UBM ABMs will be discussed in detail below As with other equipment always refer to the manufacturerrsquos manuals

Figure 17-10 mdash Typical K-span building

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-14

210 ABM 120 System The K-span building system consists of a self-contained metal building manufacturing plant known as the ABM 120 SystemAutomatic Building Machine 120 This machine is mounted on a trailer forming a type of ldquomobile factoryrdquo that is easily towed to even the remotest construction sites (Figure 17-11) An important aspect of this machine is that it can easily be transported by air anywhere in the world In fact the ABM System has been certified for air transport by the US Air Force in C-130 C-141 C-5 and C-17

aircraft Once the machine is delivered on site it can be set up in minutes and turn coils of steel into structural strength arched panels The panels are then machine seamed together to form an economical and watertight steel structure The final shape and strength of the fabricated materials eliminate the need for columns beams or any other type of interior support All of the panel-to-panel connections are joined using an electric automatic seaming machine Because of this there are no nuts bolts or any other type of fastener to slow down construction or create leaks Once delivered to the jobsite the ldquoon-siterdquo manufacturing abilities of the machine give the ABM operator complete control of fabrication as well as the quality of the building

Figure 17-11 mdash Automatic Building Machine (ABM) 120

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-15

211 Operating Instructions The main component of the K-span system is the trailer-mounted building machine Figure 17-12 shows the primary components of the trailer as well as the general operational steps

The key position is the operatorrsquos station at the rear of the trailer (Figure 17-13) The individual selected for this station must thoroughly understand the machinersquos operations and manuals because from there the operator controls all the elements required to form the panels The operator must remain at the controls at all times forming panels is a complex operation that becomes easier with a thorough understanding of the manuals The operator first runs the coil stock through the machine to form the panel shape and then cuts it off at the correct length This length is the required length for one arched panel to run continuously from one footer to the other After cutting the panel to length the operator runs it back through the machine to give it the correct arch From the placement of the trailer on site to the completion of the curved panels attention to detail is paramount

Figure 17-12 mdash Trailer-mounted machinery

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-16

If you are selected for the operatorrsquos position as you operate the panel you will be adjusting the various machine operating components Make adjustments for thickness radius and the curving machine according to the manuals Do not permit short cuts in adjustments Any deviations in adjustments or disregard for the instructions found in the operating manuals will leave you with a pile of useless material and an inconsistent building

212 Machinery Placement To avoid setup problems preplanning of the site layout is important Uneven or sloped ground is not a concern as long as the bed of the trailer aligns with the general lay of the existing surface conditions Using Figure 17-14 as a guide consider the following items when placing the machinery

bull Allow maneuvering room for the towing of the trailer or leave it attached to the vehicle (A)

bull The length of the unit is 27 feet 8 inches long by 7 feet 4 inches wide (B)

bull Allow enough room for run-out stands to hold straight panels Stands have a net length of 9 feet 6 inches each (C)

bull Find point X From the center of the curve measure the distance equal to the radius in line with the front of the curved frame From point X scribe an arc equal to the radius This arc will define the path of the curved panel Add 10 feet for run-out stands and legs (D)

bull Allocate room for a storage area required to store coil stock and access for equipment to load it onto the machine (E)

bull Consider the direction the curved panels must be carried after being formed (F)

Figure 17-13 mdash Rear of K-span trailer

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-17

bull Allocate a level area in which to lay the panels on the ground for seaming The building will not be consistent if the panels are not straight when seaming is done (G)

bull Allocate space required for crane operations (H)

213 Foundations While the design of the foundation for a K-span building depends on the buildingrsquos size existing soil conditions and wind load the foundations are simple and easy to construct With the even distribution of the load in a standard arch building the size of the continuous strip footing is smaller and more economical than the foundations for conventional buildings The provided concrete forms and accessories to form the foundations are sufficient for a building 100 feet long by 50 feet wide and forms are available upon request from the manufacturer for different configurations The actual footing construction is based as all projects are on the building plans and specifications The location of the forms placement of steel and the psi (pounds per square inch) of the concrete are critical Since the building is welded to the angle in the footer prior to the concrete placement all aspects of the footer construction must be thoroughly checked for alignment and square Once concrete is placed there is no way to correct mistakes

Figure 17-14 mdash Machinery placement calculations

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-18

As mentioned above forms are provided for the foundation Using Table 17-1 as a guide Figure 17-15 gives you a simple foundation layout by parts designation As noted in Figure 17-15 the cross pipes are not provided in the kit They are provided by the contractor

214 Building Erection With the placement of the machinery and the forming of the building panels in progress your next considerations are the placement and the weight-lifting capabilities of the crane Check the cranersquos weight-lifting chart for its maximum weight capacity This dictates the number of panels you can safely lift at the operating distance or reach As with all crane operations attempting to lift more than the rated capacity or extending beyond a rated operating distance can cause the crane to turn over Attaching the spreader bar to the curved formed panels is a crucial step (Figure 17-16) Failure to clamp the panel tightly can cause the panels to slip and fall with potential harm to personnel and damage to the panel

Figure 17-15 mdash Simple form assembly

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-20

With guidelines attached as shown in Figure 17-17 and personnel attending the lines lift the panels for placement When lifting consider the following points

bull Lift only as high as necessary

bull Position two crew members at each free end to guide each panel in place

bull Remind crew members to keep their feet out from under the ends of the arches

bull Never attempt lifting any sets of panels in high winds

Figure 17-16 mdash Spreader bar attachment

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-21

Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position it so there will be room for the end wall panels After positioning the first set of panels clamp them to the angle plumb them with guidelines and secure the lines to previously anchored stakes Seam each set to standing panels before detaching the spreader bar then detach the spreader bar and continue to place panel sets After about 15 panels (3 sets) are in place measure the building length at both ends just above the forms and at the center of the arch This measurement will seldom be exactly one foot per panel it is usually slightly more but it should be equal for each panel Adjust the ends to equal the center measure Panels are flexible enough to adjust slightly Check these measurements periodically during building construction Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict the end-wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until all panels are set After the arches are in place set the longest end-wall panel in the form plumb and clamp it in place Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb

Figure 17-17 mdash Guide rope use

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-22

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

Figure 17-18 mdash Building foundation concept

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-23

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

Figure 17-19 mdash Concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-24

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

Figure 17-25 mdash ABM 120 and 240 comparison chart

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-30

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Figure 17-26 mdash Anchor angles in a concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-31

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

Figure 17-29 mdash Completed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-33

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-34

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

Figure 17-32 mdash Base support for guyed towers

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

4543 Concrete Anchor Poured-in-place concrete anchors are normally used for high stress applications and where multiple guys are attached to a single anchorage

Summary This chapter discussed the assembly and disassembly of pre-engineered and K-span buildings It also discussed steel towers and antennas and presented information on how to secure them with different types of guys and anchors Falls and falling objects are the leading cause of injuries in the construction industry Working with PEBs K-spans and towers always includes working with elevated heights Use your situational awareness remember to follow the prescribed safety precautions and use your common sense donrsquot get under a hoisting load

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 4: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

100 PRE-ENGINEERED BUILDINGS The pre-engineered building (PEB) discussed here is a commercially designed structure fabricated by the civilian industry to conform to armed forces specifications The advantage of a pre-engineered structure is that it is designed for erection in the shortest possible time Each PEB is shipped as a complete building kit including all necessary materials and instructions for erection Various types of pre-engineered structures are available from numerous manufacturers and all are similar because each is built to military specifications However it would be impractical to try and include all of the structures that each company fabricates so this manual will use a description of the basic procedures for erecting and dismantling only a 40-foot by 100-foot building as an example The typical PEB is a 40 by 100 foot structure but a smaller 20 by 48 foot version PEB uses the same erection principles Layout and erection of either size PEB is normally assigned to Builders working in conjunction with Steelworkers The basic pre-engineered metal building shown in Figure 17-1 is 40 feet wide by 100 feet long Although the unit length of the building is 100 feet the length can be increased or decreased in multiples of 20 feet which are called 20-foot bays The true building length will be equal to the number of 20-foot bays plus 6 inches since each end bay is 20 feet 3 inches The building is 14 feet high at the eave and 20 feet 8 inches at the ridge

Pre-engineered buildings are ideal for use as repair shops or warehouses because they have a large clear floor area without columns or other obstructions as well as straight sidewalls This design allows floor-to-ceiling storage of material and wall-to-wall placement of machinery The column-free interior also permits efficient shop layout and unhindered production flow After a building is up it can be enlarged while in use by 20-foot bays providing additional space under one roof If desired PEBs can be erected side by side in multiples and when a building is no longer needed it can be disassembled stored or

moved to another location and re-erected because only bolted connections are used with no welding or riveting The rigid frame is strong designed for working loads of 20 pounds per square foot load plus the dead load and the load from a 70-mph wind The building can be easily modified to varying lengths and purposes by taking out or adding bays or by substituting various foundation and wall sections A bay is the distance between two column centers or between the end wall and the first column center in from the end wall Formulas used to determine the number of bays frames and intermediate frames in a building are as follows Length divided by 20 = number of bays Bays + 1 = total number of frames Total number of frames - 2 = number of intermediate frames

110 Pre-Erection Work Extensive pre-erection work is required before you start the actual erection of a building and this often includes almost all of the Seabee ratings After the building site is located and laid out by the Engineering Aids it will be cleared and leveled by Equipment Operators Batter boards are set up in pairs where each comer of the foundation is located Builders fabricate the forms for concrete while Steelworkers are cutting bending tying and placing reinforcing steel If this particular building requires under slab utilities such as plumbing and electrical service the Utilitiesman and Construction Electricians will also be on the jobsite Last all under slab work must be completed and pass all Quality Control inspections before concrete is placed and finished Most importantly as far as ease of erection is concerned before the concrete is placed templates for the anchor bolts are attached to the forms and the anchor bolts are inserted through the holes in each Then the anchor bolts and template forms are tied as necessary to make sure the bolts remain vertical You will have only a tolerance of plus or minus one eighth of an inch to work with

CAUTION Proper anchor bolt placement is absolutely critical when erecting a PEB

The threads of the bolts are greased and the nuts placed on them to protect the threads Concrete is then poured into the formwork and worked carefully

While the foundation is being prepared the crew leader will assign personnelcrews to perform various types of preliminary work such as uncrating and inventorying all material on the shipping list bolting up rigid-frame assemblies assembling door eaves and glazing windows Box 1 contains the erection manual the drawings and an inventory list it should be opened first If all of the preliminary work is done correctly the assembly and erection of the entire building is accomplished easily and quickly

into place around these bolts so they remain vertical and in place Finally according to the plans and specifications the slab is poured

All material except the sheeting should be uncrated and laid out in an orderly manner so the parts can be located easily Do not uncrate the sheeting until you are ready to install it When opening the crates use care not to cause any damage to the lumber

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-5

This is important since the lumber can be used for sawhorses and various other items around the jobsite In most situations after the building foundation has been prepared building materials should be placed around the building site near the location where they will be used (Figure 17-2) This action provides the greatest accessibility during assembly

Girts purlins eave struts and brace rods should be equally divided along both sides of the foundation Panels and miscellaneous parts which will not be used immediately should be placed on each side of the foundation on pallets or skids and covered with tarps or a similar type of covering until needed Parts making up the rigid-frame assemblies are laid out ready for assembly and in position for raising Always use care in unloading materials Remember that damaged parts will cause delays in getting the job done To avoid damage lower the materials to the ground slowly and do not drop them Figure 17-3 will help you identify the structural members of the building and their location Each part has a specific purpose and must be installed in its designated location to ensure a sound structure

CAUTION Never omit any part called for on the detailed erection drawings Each of the members parts and accessories of the building is labeled by stencil so it is not necessary to guess which one goes where Refer to the erection plans to find the particular members you need as you work

120 Erection Procedures When all the pre-erection work is completed inspected and passed by Quality Control and your inventory is completed you are ready to start erecting the PEB To give you a general guide to follow this phase of the discussion will introduce you to the basic PEB erection procedures However keep in mind that the drawings provided by the manufacturer must be followed in all cases even where they might differ from information in this training manual The manufacturerrsquos standard practice is to pack an erection manual and a set of drawings in the small parts box (Box 1) shipped with each building

121 Bolting Rigid Frames Before bolting up the rigid-frame assembly clean all the dirt and debris from the top of the foundation and then lay out and bolt the base shoes firmly to the concrete Use appropriate washers between the shoes and nuts Lay out an assembled column and roof beam at each pair of base shoes using one bolt on each side of each base shoe to act as pivots in raising the frame (Figure 17-4) Use drift pins if needed to line up the holes

Figure 17-3 mdash Location and identity of structural members

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-7

122 Frame Erection You can use a gin pole to raise the end frame of the building To prevent distortion of the frame when it is being raised attach a bridle securely to each side of the frame below the splice connection and also to the ridge on the roof beam Drop a driftpin in the frame to prevent the bridle from slipping up Set up the gin pole with a block at the top If a gin pole is not available nail together three 2 x 6rsquos 20 feet long from the longest shipping crate Attach a tag line to the frame (Figure 17-5) Now pull the end frame into the vertical position using a crew of four or five people on the erection line A tag person should have something to take a couple of turns around such as a pole anchored to the ground Then if the frame should go beyond the vertical the tag person would be able to keep it from falling To get the frame started from the ground it should be lifted by several people and propped up as high as practical Bolt an eave strut to each column (Figure 17-5) The eave struts allow the frame to be propped at every stage of the lifting After the frame is in a vertical position install guy lines and props to it so it cannot move

Now raise the second frame in the same way and hold it vertically in place by installing purlins girts and brace rods You can use a crane or other suitable type of power equipment to hoist the frames into place where such equipment is available When power equipment is used use the following suggested procedure

1 Raise the columns bolt them to the base shoes and brace them in place

2 Install all sidewall girts to keep the columns as rigid as possible

3 Bolt the roof beams together and install the gable posts and end-wall header

4 Secure the guy lines and tag lines to the roof beams (Figure 17-6) Attach a wire rope sling at approximately the center of each roof beam

5 Hoist the roof beams into position on top of the columns and bolt them in place

6 When the second rigid-frame section is secured in position install all the roof purlins gable angles and louver angles Note attach the gable clips to the purlins before raising the section into position

7 Install the brace rods and align the first bay

CAUTION The first bay must be aligned before erecting additional bays

123 Brace Rods Brace rods must be installed in the first bay erected (Figure 17-7) These rods are of paramount importance since they hold the frames in an upright position

CAUTION Never omit the brace rods either sidewall or roof The diagonal brace rods are attached to the frames in the roof and sidewall through the slotted holes provided Use a half-round brace rod washer and a flat steel washer under the nuts at each end of the rods With the rods installed plumb each frame column with the carpenterrsquos spirit level Check the distance diagonally from the upper corner of one frame to the lower corner of the adjacent frame When this distance is the same for each rod the columns will be

plumb After the sidewall rods are installed install the roof rods The length of the roof rods can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the turnbuckle When the two diagonal measurements are the same the end bay will be square

After the two frames have been plumbed and braced square with the diagonal rods and the purlins girts and eave struts have been installed the guy lines or props can be removed and the remaining frames of the building can be erected Note the following precautions

bull Do not omit the diagonal brace rods that are required in the last bay of the building

bull Be sure to bolt the girts purlins and eave struts to the inside holes of the end frames

bull Install the eave struts girts and purlins in each bay as soon as a frame is erected

bull Exercise care to see that the diagonal brace rods are taut and do not project beyond the flanges of the end frame to interfere with end-wall sheeting

bull To raise the next frame attach blocks to the last frame raised and proceed to the next bay frame

124 Sag Rods Sag rods are used to hold the purlins and the girts in a straight line First install the sag rods that connect the two purlins at the ridge of the building Each rod must be attached from the top hole of one purlin through the bottom hole of the adjacent purlin Use two nuts at each end of the sag rods one on each side of each purlin Adjust the nuts on these rods so the purlins are held straight and rigid Next install the sag rods between the purlins below the ridge with the rod attached from the top hole of the upper purlin through the bottom hole of the lower purlin Use two nuts on each end one on each side of each purlin Follow the same procedure with the sidewall sag rods

Figure 17-7 mdash Frame erection

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-10

Remember the roof purlins should show a straight line from end to end of the building Do NOT tighten the sag rods so much that the purlins are twisted out of shape

125 Brace Angles and Base Angles After two or more bays have been erected part of the erection crew can be assigned to install the diagonal brace angles To install the brace angles lay the notched portion against the frame flange and bend it into position (Figure 17-8) Diagonal brace angles are needed to support the inner flange of the frame Be sure to install them so that they are taut

CAUTION Never omit diagonal brace angles They are needed to support the inner flange of the frame Install them so they are taut

While some members of the crew are installing brace angles other members can be installing base angles When assigned this duty first sweep off the top of the concrete foundation so the base angles will set down evenly Bolt the base angles in place with a flat steel washer under the nut Leave the nuts loose to permit later adjustments after the wall sheeting has been applied

126 End-Wall FramingDoorsWindows Refer to the manufacturersrsquo specifications for proper assembly and installation procedures for end-wall framing doors (both sliding and roll-up) and windows as these procedures will vary with available building options

127 Sheeting Always start the sheeting both sidewall and roof at the end of the building toward which the prevailing winds blow For example if the winds are predominately easterlies (from the east) start your sheeting on the west end of the building to ensure that the

Figure 17-8 mdash Diagonal brace angles

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-11

exterior joint in the side laps is away from the blowing of the prevailing winds When installing roof sheeting always use a generous amount of mastic on the upper side of all roof sheets just before moving them to the roof Turn the sheet over and put a bead of mastic on the lip of one side of the corrugation and along one end--near the end but never more than one 1 inch from the end Be sure to apply a horizontal bead of mastic between all sheets in the end laps below the lap holes

128 Building Insulation

The roof sheets must be dry when mastic is applied Mastic is extremely important and you must exercise care whenever applying it to ensure a watertight seal Apply generous beads especially at the comers of the sheets Finally install the ridge cap ensuring proper watershed As previously stated the information in this manual is general information common to pre-engineered buildings

You can insulate a pre-engineered building by any of several methods You can install a blanket type of insulation in 2-foot wide strips to match the width of the roof and wall sheets between the sheets and structural panels at the same time the sheeting is installed Alternatively you can apply a hardboard insulation directly to the inside surface of the structural panels attaching it by helix nails or by sheet metal screws in holes prepared by drilling the structural panels A third option is a wood framing attached to the structural panels and hardboard insulation nailed to the wood

129 Multiple buildings Set Side by Side Pre-engineered buildings can easily be set up side by side to increase the working area under one roof When this is done the adjacent rigid frames should be bolted back to back with a channel spacer at each girt location (Figure 17-9) The eave struts are moved up the roof beam to the second set of holes to provide a gutter This arrangement provides a space between eave struts and you can install a field fabricated gutter Flat unpainted galvanized steel of 24- to 26-gauge material should be used for the gutter with downspouts located as required Gutter ends should be lapped and braze-welded for watertightness Note that wall sheets can be used to form a gutter if the outside corrugations are flattened and all the end laps are braze-welded Roof sheets must be cut shorter where they overhang the gutter The corrugations can be closed with the continuous rubber closure with mastic applied to the top and bottom surfaces of the closure An alternate method is to flatten the corrugations at the gutter and seal them with a glass fabric stripping set in plastic

130 Disassembly Procedures Disassembling a pre-engineered building is not difficult once you are familiar with the erection procedures However when you disassemble a building be sure to clearly mark or number all of the parts so you will know where the parts go when reassembling the building The following are the main steps of the disassembly procedures

bull Remove the sheeting

bull Remove the windows door leaves and end wall

bull Remove the diagonal brace angles and sag rods

bull Remove the braces girts and purlins

bull Let down the frames

Figure 17-9 mdash Buildings side by side

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-13

131 Marking It is obvious but worth repeating In disassembling a building be sure to clearly mark or number all parts You will then know where the parts go when reassembling the building Carefully handling the building components during disassembly is very important You may have to reuse these same components at another location As you complete disassembly protect those components from damage Any damaged components will have to be replaced and time might not be on your side In planning a disassembly remember you probably no longer have the original shipping containers in which to repack As offered earlier the shipping material makes good sawhorses and sometimes runners for stairs so it is not likely to be around any longer If the disassembled PEB will have significant rehandling or lengthy storage consider making secondary shipping crates of available materials for handling ease and parts accountability

200 K-SPAN BUILDINGS The K-span building has been used in the Seabee community for years (Figure 17-10) The intended uses of these buildings are as varied as the PEBs Training key personnel in the operation of the equipment associated with the K-span is essential Once trained these same personnel can instruct other members of the crew in the safe erection of a K-span The following section gives you some but not all of the key elements associated with K-span construction The ABM 120 and 240 and the UBM 120 and 240 are the machines used in K-span construction The UBM differs from the ABM in

several ways but the two major differences are the computer input system and the seaming system used by the UBM which eliminates the need for bolting the sections together saving workers and time needed for construction All other aspects are the same when comparing the ABM and the UBM ABMs will be discussed in detail below As with other equipment always refer to the manufacturerrsquos manuals

Figure 17-10 mdash Typical K-span building

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-14

210 ABM 120 System The K-span building system consists of a self-contained metal building manufacturing plant known as the ABM 120 SystemAutomatic Building Machine 120 This machine is mounted on a trailer forming a type of ldquomobile factoryrdquo that is easily towed to even the remotest construction sites (Figure 17-11) An important aspect of this machine is that it can easily be transported by air anywhere in the world In fact the ABM System has been certified for air transport by the US Air Force in C-130 C-141 C-5 and C-17

aircraft Once the machine is delivered on site it can be set up in minutes and turn coils of steel into structural strength arched panels The panels are then machine seamed together to form an economical and watertight steel structure The final shape and strength of the fabricated materials eliminate the need for columns beams or any other type of interior support All of the panel-to-panel connections are joined using an electric automatic seaming machine Because of this there are no nuts bolts or any other type of fastener to slow down construction or create leaks Once delivered to the jobsite the ldquoon-siterdquo manufacturing abilities of the machine give the ABM operator complete control of fabrication as well as the quality of the building

Figure 17-11 mdash Automatic Building Machine (ABM) 120

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-15

211 Operating Instructions The main component of the K-span system is the trailer-mounted building machine Figure 17-12 shows the primary components of the trailer as well as the general operational steps

The key position is the operatorrsquos station at the rear of the trailer (Figure 17-13) The individual selected for this station must thoroughly understand the machinersquos operations and manuals because from there the operator controls all the elements required to form the panels The operator must remain at the controls at all times forming panels is a complex operation that becomes easier with a thorough understanding of the manuals The operator first runs the coil stock through the machine to form the panel shape and then cuts it off at the correct length This length is the required length for one arched panel to run continuously from one footer to the other After cutting the panel to length the operator runs it back through the machine to give it the correct arch From the placement of the trailer on site to the completion of the curved panels attention to detail is paramount

Figure 17-12 mdash Trailer-mounted machinery

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-16

If you are selected for the operatorrsquos position as you operate the panel you will be adjusting the various machine operating components Make adjustments for thickness radius and the curving machine according to the manuals Do not permit short cuts in adjustments Any deviations in adjustments or disregard for the instructions found in the operating manuals will leave you with a pile of useless material and an inconsistent building

212 Machinery Placement To avoid setup problems preplanning of the site layout is important Uneven or sloped ground is not a concern as long as the bed of the trailer aligns with the general lay of the existing surface conditions Using Figure 17-14 as a guide consider the following items when placing the machinery

bull Allow maneuvering room for the towing of the trailer or leave it attached to the vehicle (A)

bull The length of the unit is 27 feet 8 inches long by 7 feet 4 inches wide (B)

bull Allow enough room for run-out stands to hold straight panels Stands have a net length of 9 feet 6 inches each (C)

bull Find point X From the center of the curve measure the distance equal to the radius in line with the front of the curved frame From point X scribe an arc equal to the radius This arc will define the path of the curved panel Add 10 feet for run-out stands and legs (D)

bull Allocate room for a storage area required to store coil stock and access for equipment to load it onto the machine (E)

bull Consider the direction the curved panels must be carried after being formed (F)

Figure 17-13 mdash Rear of K-span trailer

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-17

bull Allocate a level area in which to lay the panels on the ground for seaming The building will not be consistent if the panels are not straight when seaming is done (G)

bull Allocate space required for crane operations (H)

213 Foundations While the design of the foundation for a K-span building depends on the buildingrsquos size existing soil conditions and wind load the foundations are simple and easy to construct With the even distribution of the load in a standard arch building the size of the continuous strip footing is smaller and more economical than the foundations for conventional buildings The provided concrete forms and accessories to form the foundations are sufficient for a building 100 feet long by 50 feet wide and forms are available upon request from the manufacturer for different configurations The actual footing construction is based as all projects are on the building plans and specifications The location of the forms placement of steel and the psi (pounds per square inch) of the concrete are critical Since the building is welded to the angle in the footer prior to the concrete placement all aspects of the footer construction must be thoroughly checked for alignment and square Once concrete is placed there is no way to correct mistakes

Figure 17-14 mdash Machinery placement calculations

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-18

214 Building Erection With the placement of the machinery and the forming of the building panels in progress your next considerations are the placement and the weight-lifting capabilities of the crane Check the cranersquos weight-lifting chart for its maximum weight capacity This dictates the number of panels you can safely lift at the operating distance or reach As with all crane operations attempting to lift more than the rated capacity or extending beyond a rated operating distance can cause the crane to turn over Attaching the spreader bar to the curved formed panels is a crucial step (Figure 17-16) Failure to clamp the panel tightly can cause the panels to slip and fall with potential harm to personnel and damage to the panel

Figure 17-15 mdash Simple form assembly

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-20

With guidelines attached as shown in Figure 17-17 and personnel attending the lines lift the panels for placement When lifting consider the following points

bull Lift only as high as necessary

bull Position two crew members at each free end to guide each panel in place

bull Remind crew members to keep their feet out from under the ends of the arches

bull Never attempt lifting any sets of panels in high winds

Figure 17-16 mdash Spreader bar attachment

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-21

Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position it so there will be room for the end wall panels After positioning the first set of panels clamp them to the angle plumb them with guidelines and secure the lines to previously anchored stakes Seam each set to standing panels before detaching the spreader bar then detach the spreader bar and continue to place panel sets After about 15 panels (3 sets) are in place measure the building length at both ends just above the forms and at the center of the arch This measurement will seldom be exactly one foot per panel it is usually slightly more but it should be equal for each panel Adjust the ends to equal the center measure Panels are flexible enough to adjust slightly Check these measurements periodically during building construction Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict the end-wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until all panels are set After the arches are in place set the longest end-wall panel in the form plumb and clamp it in place Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb

Figure 17-17 mdash Guide rope use

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-22

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

Figure 17-18 mdash Building foundation concept

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-23

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

Figure 17-19 mdash Concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-24

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

Figure 17-25 mdash ABM 120 and 240 comparison chart

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-30

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Figure 17-26 mdash Anchor angles in a concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-31

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

Figure 17-29 mdash Completed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-33

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-34

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

Figure 17-32 mdash Base support for guyed towers

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

4543 Concrete Anchor Poured-in-place concrete anchors are normally used for high stress applications and where multiple guys are attached to a single anchorage

Summary This chapter discussed the assembly and disassembly of pre-engineered and K-span buildings It also discussed steel towers and antennas and presented information on how to secure them with different types of guys and anchors Falls and falling objects are the leading cause of injuries in the construction industry Working with PEBs K-spans and towers always includes working with elevated heights Use your situational awareness remember to follow the prescribed safety precautions and use your common sense donrsquot get under a hoisting load

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

moved to another location and re-erected because only bolted connections are used with no welding or riveting The rigid frame is strong designed for working loads of 20 pounds per square foot load plus the dead load and the load from a 70-mph wind The building can be easily modified to varying lengths and purposes by taking out or adding bays or by substituting various foundation and wall sections A bay is the distance between two column centers or between the end wall and the first column center in from the end wall Formulas used to determine the number of bays frames and intermediate frames in a building are as follows Length divided by 20 = number of bays Bays + 1 = total number of frames Total number of frames - 2 = number of intermediate frames

110 Pre-Erection Work Extensive pre-erection work is required before you start the actual erection of a building and this often includes almost all of the Seabee ratings After the building site is located and laid out by the Engineering Aids it will be cleared and leveled by Equipment Operators Batter boards are set up in pairs where each comer of the foundation is located Builders fabricate the forms for concrete while Steelworkers are cutting bending tying and placing reinforcing steel If this particular building requires under slab utilities such as plumbing and electrical service the Utilitiesman and Construction Electricians will also be on the jobsite Last all under slab work must be completed and pass all Quality Control inspections before concrete is placed and finished Most importantly as far as ease of erection is concerned before the concrete is placed templates for the anchor bolts are attached to the forms and the anchor bolts are inserted through the holes in each Then the anchor bolts and template forms are tied as necessary to make sure the bolts remain vertical You will have only a tolerance of plus or minus one eighth of an inch to work with

CAUTION Proper anchor bolt placement is absolutely critical when erecting a PEB

The threads of the bolts are greased and the nuts placed on them to protect the threads Concrete is then poured into the formwork and worked carefully

While the foundation is being prepared the crew leader will assign personnelcrews to perform various types of preliminary work such as uncrating and inventorying all material on the shipping list bolting up rigid-frame assemblies assembling door eaves and glazing windows Box 1 contains the erection manual the drawings and an inventory list it should be opened first If all of the preliminary work is done correctly the assembly and erection of the entire building is accomplished easily and quickly

into place around these bolts so they remain vertical and in place Finally according to the plans and specifications the slab is poured

All material except the sheeting should be uncrated and laid out in an orderly manner so the parts can be located easily Do not uncrate the sheeting until you are ready to install it When opening the crates use care not to cause any damage to the lumber

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-5

This is important since the lumber can be used for sawhorses and various other items around the jobsite In most situations after the building foundation has been prepared building materials should be placed around the building site near the location where they will be used (Figure 17-2) This action provides the greatest accessibility during assembly

Girts purlins eave struts and brace rods should be equally divided along both sides of the foundation Panels and miscellaneous parts which will not be used immediately should be placed on each side of the foundation on pallets or skids and covered with tarps or a similar type of covering until needed Parts making up the rigid-frame assemblies are laid out ready for assembly and in position for raising Always use care in unloading materials Remember that damaged parts will cause delays in getting the job done To avoid damage lower the materials to the ground slowly and do not drop them Figure 17-3 will help you identify the structural members of the building and their location Each part has a specific purpose and must be installed in its designated location to ensure a sound structure

CAUTION Never omit any part called for on the detailed erection drawings Each of the members parts and accessories of the building is labeled by stencil so it is not necessary to guess which one goes where Refer to the erection plans to find the particular members you need as you work

120 Erection Procedures When all the pre-erection work is completed inspected and passed by Quality Control and your inventory is completed you are ready to start erecting the PEB To give you a general guide to follow this phase of the discussion will introduce you to the basic PEB erection procedures However keep in mind that the drawings provided by the manufacturer must be followed in all cases even where they might differ from information in this training manual The manufacturerrsquos standard practice is to pack an erection manual and a set of drawings in the small parts box (Box 1) shipped with each building

121 Bolting Rigid Frames Before bolting up the rigid-frame assembly clean all the dirt and debris from the top of the foundation and then lay out and bolt the base shoes firmly to the concrete Use appropriate washers between the shoes and nuts Lay out an assembled column and roof beam at each pair of base shoes using one bolt on each side of each base shoe to act as pivots in raising the frame (Figure 17-4) Use drift pins if needed to line up the holes

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-7

122 Frame Erection You can use a gin pole to raise the end frame of the building To prevent distortion of the frame when it is being raised attach a bridle securely to each side of the frame below the splice connection and also to the ridge on the roof beam Drop a driftpin in the frame to prevent the bridle from slipping up Set up the gin pole with a block at the top If a gin pole is not available nail together three 2 x 6rsquos 20 feet long from the longest shipping crate Attach a tag line to the frame (Figure 17-5) Now pull the end frame into the vertical position using a crew of four or five people on the erection line A tag person should have something to take a couple of turns around such as a pole anchored to the ground Then if the frame should go beyond the vertical the tag person would be able to keep it from falling To get the frame started from the ground it should be lifted by several people and propped up as high as practical Bolt an eave strut to each column (Figure 17-5) The eave struts allow the frame to be propped at every stage of the lifting After the frame is in a vertical position install guy lines and props to it so it cannot move

Figure 17-4 mdash Frame assembly

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-8

Now raise the second frame in the same way and hold it vertically in place by installing purlins girts and brace rods You can use a crane or other suitable type of power equipment to hoist the frames into place where such equipment is available When power equipment is used use the following suggested procedure

1 Raise the columns bolt them to the base shoes and brace them in place

2 Install all sidewall girts to keep the columns as rigid as possible

3 Bolt the roof beams together and install the gable posts and end-wall header

4 Secure the guy lines and tag lines to the roof beams (Figure 17-6) Attach a wire rope sling at approximately the center of each roof beam

5 Hoist the roof beams into position on top of the columns and bolt them in place

6 When the second rigid-frame section is secured in position install all the roof purlins gable angles and louver angles Note attach the gable clips to the purlins before raising the section into position

7 Install the brace rods and align the first bay

CAUTION The first bay must be aligned before erecting additional bays

123 Brace Rods Brace rods must be installed in the first bay erected (Figure 17-7) These rods are of paramount importance since they hold the frames in an upright position

CAUTION Never omit the brace rods either sidewall or roof The diagonal brace rods are attached to the frames in the roof and sidewall through the slotted holes provided Use a half-round brace rod washer and a flat steel washer under the nuts at each end of the rods With the rods installed plumb each frame column with the carpenterrsquos spirit level Check the distance diagonally from the upper corner of one frame to the lower corner of the adjacent frame When this distance is the same for each rod the columns will be

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-9

plumb After the sidewall rods are installed install the roof rods The length of the roof rods can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the turnbuckle When the two diagonal measurements are the same the end bay will be square

After the two frames have been plumbed and braced square with the diagonal rods and the purlins girts and eave struts have been installed the guy lines or props can be removed and the remaining frames of the building can be erected Note the following precautions

bull Do not omit the diagonal brace rods that are required in the last bay of the building

bull Be sure to bolt the girts purlins and eave struts to the inside holes of the end frames

bull Install the eave struts girts and purlins in each bay as soon as a frame is erected

bull Exercise care to see that the diagonal brace rods are taut and do not project beyond the flanges of the end frame to interfere with end-wall sheeting

bull To raise the next frame attach blocks to the last frame raised and proceed to the next bay frame

124 Sag Rods Sag rods are used to hold the purlins and the girts in a straight line First install the sag rods that connect the two purlins at the ridge of the building Each rod must be attached from the top hole of one purlin through the bottom hole of the adjacent purlin Use two nuts at each end of the sag rods one on each side of each purlin Adjust the nuts on these rods so the purlins are held straight and rigid Next install the sag rods between the purlins below the ridge with the rod attached from the top hole of the upper purlin through the bottom hole of the lower purlin Use two nuts on each end one on each side of each purlin Follow the same procedure with the sidewall sag rods

Figure 17-7 mdash Frame erection

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-10

Remember the roof purlins should show a straight line from end to end of the building Do NOT tighten the sag rods so much that the purlins are twisted out of shape

125 Brace Angles and Base Angles After two or more bays have been erected part of the erection crew can be assigned to install the diagonal brace angles To install the brace angles lay the notched portion against the frame flange and bend it into position (Figure 17-8) Diagonal brace angles are needed to support the inner flange of the frame Be sure to install them so that they are taut

CAUTION Never omit diagonal brace angles They are needed to support the inner flange of the frame Install them so they are taut

While some members of the crew are installing brace angles other members can be installing base angles When assigned this duty first sweep off the top of the concrete foundation so the base angles will set down evenly Bolt the base angles in place with a flat steel washer under the nut Leave the nuts loose to permit later adjustments after the wall sheeting has been applied

126 End-Wall FramingDoorsWindows Refer to the manufacturersrsquo specifications for proper assembly and installation procedures for end-wall framing doors (both sliding and roll-up) and windows as these procedures will vary with available building options

127 Sheeting Always start the sheeting both sidewall and roof at the end of the building toward which the prevailing winds blow For example if the winds are predominately easterlies (from the east) start your sheeting on the west end of the building to ensure that the

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-11

exterior joint in the side laps is away from the blowing of the prevailing winds When installing roof sheeting always use a generous amount of mastic on the upper side of all roof sheets just before moving them to the roof Turn the sheet over and put a bead of mastic on the lip of one side of the corrugation and along one end--near the end but never more than one 1 inch from the end Be sure to apply a horizontal bead of mastic between all sheets in the end laps below the lap holes

128 Building Insulation

The roof sheets must be dry when mastic is applied Mastic is extremely important and you must exercise care whenever applying it to ensure a watertight seal Apply generous beads especially at the comers of the sheets Finally install the ridge cap ensuring proper watershed As previously stated the information in this manual is general information common to pre-engineered buildings

You can insulate a pre-engineered building by any of several methods You can install a blanket type of insulation in 2-foot wide strips to match the width of the roof and wall sheets between the sheets and structural panels at the same time the sheeting is installed Alternatively you can apply a hardboard insulation directly to the inside surface of the structural panels attaching it by helix nails or by sheet metal screws in holes prepared by drilling the structural panels A third option is a wood framing attached to the structural panels and hardboard insulation nailed to the wood

129 Multiple buildings Set Side by Side Pre-engineered buildings can easily be set up side by side to increase the working area under one roof When this is done the adjacent rigid frames should be bolted back to back with a channel spacer at each girt location (Figure 17-9) The eave struts are moved up the roof beam to the second set of holes to provide a gutter This arrangement provides a space between eave struts and you can install a field fabricated gutter Flat unpainted galvanized steel of 24- to 26-gauge material should be used for the gutter with downspouts located as required Gutter ends should be lapped and braze-welded for watertightness Note that wall sheets can be used to form a gutter if the outside corrugations are flattened and all the end laps are braze-welded Roof sheets must be cut shorter where they overhang the gutter The corrugations can be closed with the continuous rubber closure with mastic applied to the top and bottom surfaces of the closure An alternate method is to flatten the corrugations at the gutter and seal them with a glass fabric stripping set in plastic

130 Disassembly Procedures Disassembling a pre-engineered building is not difficult once you are familiar with the erection procedures However when you disassemble a building be sure to clearly mark or number all of the parts so you will know where the parts go when reassembling the building The following are the main steps of the disassembly procedures

bull Remove the sheeting

bull Remove the windows door leaves and end wall

bull Remove the diagonal brace angles and sag rods

bull Remove the braces girts and purlins

bull Let down the frames

Figure 17-9 mdash Buildings side by side

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-13

131 Marking It is obvious but worth repeating In disassembling a building be sure to clearly mark or number all parts You will then know where the parts go when reassembling the building Carefully handling the building components during disassembly is very important You may have to reuse these same components at another location As you complete disassembly protect those components from damage Any damaged components will have to be replaced and time might not be on your side In planning a disassembly remember you probably no longer have the original shipping containers in which to repack As offered earlier the shipping material makes good sawhorses and sometimes runners for stairs so it is not likely to be around any longer If the disassembled PEB will have significant rehandling or lengthy storage consider making secondary shipping crates of available materials for handling ease and parts accountability

200 K-SPAN BUILDINGS The K-span building has been used in the Seabee community for years (Figure 17-10) The intended uses of these buildings are as varied as the PEBs Training key personnel in the operation of the equipment associated with the K-span is essential Once trained these same personnel can instruct other members of the crew in the safe erection of a K-span The following section gives you some but not all of the key elements associated with K-span construction The ABM 120 and 240 and the UBM 120 and 240 are the machines used in K-span construction The UBM differs from the ABM in

several ways but the two major differences are the computer input system and the seaming system used by the UBM which eliminates the need for bolting the sections together saving workers and time needed for construction All other aspects are the same when comparing the ABM and the UBM ABMs will be discussed in detail below As with other equipment always refer to the manufacturerrsquos manuals

Figure 17-10 mdash Typical K-span building

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-14

210 ABM 120 System The K-span building system consists of a self-contained metal building manufacturing plant known as the ABM 120 SystemAutomatic Building Machine 120 This machine is mounted on a trailer forming a type of ldquomobile factoryrdquo that is easily towed to even the remotest construction sites (Figure 17-11) An important aspect of this machine is that it can easily be transported by air anywhere in the world In fact the ABM System has been certified for air transport by the US Air Force in C-130 C-141 C-5 and C-17

aircraft Once the machine is delivered on site it can be set up in minutes and turn coils of steel into structural strength arched panels The panels are then machine seamed together to form an economical and watertight steel structure The final shape and strength of the fabricated materials eliminate the need for columns beams or any other type of interior support All of the panel-to-panel connections are joined using an electric automatic seaming machine Because of this there are no nuts bolts or any other type of fastener to slow down construction or create leaks Once delivered to the jobsite the ldquoon-siterdquo manufacturing abilities of the machine give the ABM operator complete control of fabrication as well as the quality of the building

Figure 17-11 mdash Automatic Building Machine (ABM) 120

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-15

211 Operating Instructions The main component of the K-span system is the trailer-mounted building machine Figure 17-12 shows the primary components of the trailer as well as the general operational steps

The key position is the operatorrsquos station at the rear of the trailer (Figure 17-13) The individual selected for this station must thoroughly understand the machinersquos operations and manuals because from there the operator controls all the elements required to form the panels The operator must remain at the controls at all times forming panels is a complex operation that becomes easier with a thorough understanding of the manuals The operator first runs the coil stock through the machine to form the panel shape and then cuts it off at the correct length This length is the required length for one arched panel to run continuously from one footer to the other After cutting the panel to length the operator runs it back through the machine to give it the correct arch From the placement of the trailer on site to the completion of the curved panels attention to detail is paramount

Figure 17-12 mdash Trailer-mounted machinery

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-16

If you are selected for the operatorrsquos position as you operate the panel you will be adjusting the various machine operating components Make adjustments for thickness radius and the curving machine according to the manuals Do not permit short cuts in adjustments Any deviations in adjustments or disregard for the instructions found in the operating manuals will leave you with a pile of useless material and an inconsistent building

212 Machinery Placement To avoid setup problems preplanning of the site layout is important Uneven or sloped ground is not a concern as long as the bed of the trailer aligns with the general lay of the existing surface conditions Using Figure 17-14 as a guide consider the following items when placing the machinery

bull Allow maneuvering room for the towing of the trailer or leave it attached to the vehicle (A)

bull The length of the unit is 27 feet 8 inches long by 7 feet 4 inches wide (B)

bull Allow enough room for run-out stands to hold straight panels Stands have a net length of 9 feet 6 inches each (C)

bull Find point X From the center of the curve measure the distance equal to the radius in line with the front of the curved frame From point X scribe an arc equal to the radius This arc will define the path of the curved panel Add 10 feet for run-out stands and legs (D)

bull Allocate room for a storage area required to store coil stock and access for equipment to load it onto the machine (E)

bull Consider the direction the curved panels must be carried after being formed (F)

Figure 17-13 mdash Rear of K-span trailer

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-17

bull Allocate a level area in which to lay the panels on the ground for seaming The building will not be consistent if the panels are not straight when seaming is done (G)

bull Allocate space required for crane operations (H)

213 Foundations While the design of the foundation for a K-span building depends on the buildingrsquos size existing soil conditions and wind load the foundations are simple and easy to construct With the even distribution of the load in a standard arch building the size of the continuous strip footing is smaller and more economical than the foundations for conventional buildings The provided concrete forms and accessories to form the foundations are sufficient for a building 100 feet long by 50 feet wide and forms are available upon request from the manufacturer for different configurations The actual footing construction is based as all projects are on the building plans and specifications The location of the forms placement of steel and the psi (pounds per square inch) of the concrete are critical Since the building is welded to the angle in the footer prior to the concrete placement all aspects of the footer construction must be thoroughly checked for alignment and square Once concrete is placed there is no way to correct mistakes

Figure 17-14 mdash Machinery placement calculations

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-18

214 Building Erection With the placement of the machinery and the forming of the building panels in progress your next considerations are the placement and the weight-lifting capabilities of the crane Check the cranersquos weight-lifting chart for its maximum weight capacity This dictates the number of panels you can safely lift at the operating distance or reach As with all crane operations attempting to lift more than the rated capacity or extending beyond a rated operating distance can cause the crane to turn over Attaching the spreader bar to the curved formed panels is a crucial step (Figure 17-16) Failure to clamp the panel tightly can cause the panels to slip and fall with potential harm to personnel and damage to the panel

Figure 17-15 mdash Simple form assembly

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-20

With guidelines attached as shown in Figure 17-17 and personnel attending the lines lift the panels for placement When lifting consider the following points

bull Lift only as high as necessary

bull Position two crew members at each free end to guide each panel in place

bull Remind crew members to keep their feet out from under the ends of the arches

bull Never attempt lifting any sets of panels in high winds

Figure 17-16 mdash Spreader bar attachment

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-21

Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position it so there will be room for the end wall panels After positioning the first set of panels clamp them to the angle plumb them with guidelines and secure the lines to previously anchored stakes Seam each set to standing panels before detaching the spreader bar then detach the spreader bar and continue to place panel sets After about 15 panels (3 sets) are in place measure the building length at both ends just above the forms and at the center of the arch This measurement will seldom be exactly one foot per panel it is usually slightly more but it should be equal for each panel Adjust the ends to equal the center measure Panels are flexible enough to adjust slightly Check these measurements periodically during building construction Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict the end-wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until all panels are set After the arches are in place set the longest end-wall panel in the form plumb and clamp it in place Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb

Figure 17-17 mdash Guide rope use

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-22

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

Figure 17-18 mdash Building foundation concept

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-23

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

Figure 17-19 mdash Concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-24

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

Figure 17-25 mdash ABM 120 and 240 comparison chart

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-30

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Figure 17-26 mdash Anchor angles in a concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-31

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

Figure 17-29 mdash Completed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-33

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-34

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

Figure 17-31 mdash Square self-supporting tower and base

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-36

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

Figure 17-32 mdash Base support for guyed towers

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-35 mdash Erection plan for a pivoted tower

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

4543 Concrete Anchor Poured-in-place concrete anchors are normally used for high stress applications and where multiple guys are attached to a single anchorage

Summary This chapter discussed the assembly and disassembly of pre-engineered and K-span buildings It also discussed steel towers and antennas and presented information on how to secure them with different types of guys and anchors Falls and falling objects are the leading cause of injuries in the construction industry Working with PEBs K-spans and towers always includes working with elevated heights Use your situational awareness remember to follow the prescribed safety precautions and use your common sense donrsquot get under a hoisting load

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 6: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

This is important since the lumber can be used for sawhorses and various other items around the jobsite In most situations after the building foundation has been prepared building materials should be placed around the building site near the location where they will be used (Figure 17-2) This action provides the greatest accessibility during assembly

Girts purlins eave struts and brace rods should be equally divided along both sides of the foundation Panels and miscellaneous parts which will not be used immediately should be placed on each side of the foundation on pallets or skids and covered with tarps or a similar type of covering until needed Parts making up the rigid-frame assemblies are laid out ready for assembly and in position for raising Always use care in unloading materials Remember that damaged parts will cause delays in getting the job done To avoid damage lower the materials to the ground slowly and do not drop them Figure 17-3 will help you identify the structural members of the building and their location Each part has a specific purpose and must be installed in its designated location to ensure a sound structure

CAUTION Never omit any part called for on the detailed erection drawings Each of the members parts and accessories of the building is labeled by stencil so it is not necessary to guess which one goes where Refer to the erection plans to find the particular members you need as you work

120 Erection Procedures When all the pre-erection work is completed inspected and passed by Quality Control and your inventory is completed you are ready to start erecting the PEB To give you a general guide to follow this phase of the discussion will introduce you to the basic PEB erection procedures However keep in mind that the drawings provided by the manufacturer must be followed in all cases even where they might differ from information in this training manual The manufacturerrsquos standard practice is to pack an erection manual and a set of drawings in the small parts box (Box 1) shipped with each building

121 Bolting Rigid Frames Before bolting up the rigid-frame assembly clean all the dirt and debris from the top of the foundation and then lay out and bolt the base shoes firmly to the concrete Use appropriate washers between the shoes and nuts Lay out an assembled column and roof beam at each pair of base shoes using one bolt on each side of each base shoe to act as pivots in raising the frame (Figure 17-4) Use drift pins if needed to line up the holes

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-7

122 Frame Erection You can use a gin pole to raise the end frame of the building To prevent distortion of the frame when it is being raised attach a bridle securely to each side of the frame below the splice connection and also to the ridge on the roof beam Drop a driftpin in the frame to prevent the bridle from slipping up Set up the gin pole with a block at the top If a gin pole is not available nail together three 2 x 6rsquos 20 feet long from the longest shipping crate Attach a tag line to the frame (Figure 17-5) Now pull the end frame into the vertical position using a crew of four or five people on the erection line A tag person should have something to take a couple of turns around such as a pole anchored to the ground Then if the frame should go beyond the vertical the tag person would be able to keep it from falling To get the frame started from the ground it should be lifted by several people and propped up as high as practical Bolt an eave strut to each column (Figure 17-5) The eave struts allow the frame to be propped at every stage of the lifting After the frame is in a vertical position install guy lines and props to it so it cannot move

Figure 17-4 mdash Frame assembly

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-8

Now raise the second frame in the same way and hold it vertically in place by installing purlins girts and brace rods You can use a crane or other suitable type of power equipment to hoist the frames into place where such equipment is available When power equipment is used use the following suggested procedure

1 Raise the columns bolt them to the base shoes and brace them in place

2 Install all sidewall girts to keep the columns as rigid as possible

3 Bolt the roof beams together and install the gable posts and end-wall header

4 Secure the guy lines and tag lines to the roof beams (Figure 17-6) Attach a wire rope sling at approximately the center of each roof beam

5 Hoist the roof beams into position on top of the columns and bolt them in place

6 When the second rigid-frame section is secured in position install all the roof purlins gable angles and louver angles Note attach the gable clips to the purlins before raising the section into position

7 Install the brace rods and align the first bay

CAUTION The first bay must be aligned before erecting additional bays

123 Brace Rods Brace rods must be installed in the first bay erected (Figure 17-7) These rods are of paramount importance since they hold the frames in an upright position

CAUTION Never omit the brace rods either sidewall or roof The diagonal brace rods are attached to the frames in the roof and sidewall through the slotted holes provided Use a half-round brace rod washer and a flat steel washer under the nuts at each end of the rods With the rods installed plumb each frame column with the carpenterrsquos spirit level Check the distance diagonally from the upper corner of one frame to the lower corner of the adjacent frame When this distance is the same for each rod the columns will be

Figure 17-6 mdash Using power equipment

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-9

plumb After the sidewall rods are installed install the roof rods The length of the roof rods can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the turnbuckle When the two diagonal measurements are the same the end bay will be square

After the two frames have been plumbed and braced square with the diagonal rods and the purlins girts and eave struts have been installed the guy lines or props can be removed and the remaining frames of the building can be erected Note the following precautions

bull Do not omit the diagonal brace rods that are required in the last bay of the building

bull Be sure to bolt the girts purlins and eave struts to the inside holes of the end frames

bull Install the eave struts girts and purlins in each bay as soon as a frame is erected

bull Exercise care to see that the diagonal brace rods are taut and do not project beyond the flanges of the end frame to interfere with end-wall sheeting

bull To raise the next frame attach blocks to the last frame raised and proceed to the next bay frame

124 Sag Rods Sag rods are used to hold the purlins and the girts in a straight line First install the sag rods that connect the two purlins at the ridge of the building Each rod must be attached from the top hole of one purlin through the bottom hole of the adjacent purlin Use two nuts at each end of the sag rods one on each side of each purlin Adjust the nuts on these rods so the purlins are held straight and rigid Next install the sag rods between the purlins below the ridge with the rod attached from the top hole of the upper purlin through the bottom hole of the lower purlin Use two nuts on each end one on each side of each purlin Follow the same procedure with the sidewall sag rods

Figure 17-7 mdash Frame erection

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-10

Remember the roof purlins should show a straight line from end to end of the building Do NOT tighten the sag rods so much that the purlins are twisted out of shape

125 Brace Angles and Base Angles After two or more bays have been erected part of the erection crew can be assigned to install the diagonal brace angles To install the brace angles lay the notched portion against the frame flange and bend it into position (Figure 17-8) Diagonal brace angles are needed to support the inner flange of the frame Be sure to install them so that they are taut

CAUTION Never omit diagonal brace angles They are needed to support the inner flange of the frame Install them so they are taut

While some members of the crew are installing brace angles other members can be installing base angles When assigned this duty first sweep off the top of the concrete foundation so the base angles will set down evenly Bolt the base angles in place with a flat steel washer under the nut Leave the nuts loose to permit later adjustments after the wall sheeting has been applied

126 End-Wall FramingDoorsWindows Refer to the manufacturersrsquo specifications for proper assembly and installation procedures for end-wall framing doors (both sliding and roll-up) and windows as these procedures will vary with available building options

127 Sheeting Always start the sheeting both sidewall and roof at the end of the building toward which the prevailing winds blow For example if the winds are predominately easterlies (from the east) start your sheeting on the west end of the building to ensure that the

Figure 17-8 mdash Diagonal brace angles

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-11

exterior joint in the side laps is away from the blowing of the prevailing winds When installing roof sheeting always use a generous amount of mastic on the upper side of all roof sheets just before moving them to the roof Turn the sheet over and put a bead of mastic on the lip of one side of the corrugation and along one end--near the end but never more than one 1 inch from the end Be sure to apply a horizontal bead of mastic between all sheets in the end laps below the lap holes

128 Building Insulation

The roof sheets must be dry when mastic is applied Mastic is extremely important and you must exercise care whenever applying it to ensure a watertight seal Apply generous beads especially at the comers of the sheets Finally install the ridge cap ensuring proper watershed As previously stated the information in this manual is general information common to pre-engineered buildings

You can insulate a pre-engineered building by any of several methods You can install a blanket type of insulation in 2-foot wide strips to match the width of the roof and wall sheets between the sheets and structural panels at the same time the sheeting is installed Alternatively you can apply a hardboard insulation directly to the inside surface of the structural panels attaching it by helix nails or by sheet metal screws in holes prepared by drilling the structural panels A third option is a wood framing attached to the structural panels and hardboard insulation nailed to the wood

129 Multiple buildings Set Side by Side Pre-engineered buildings can easily be set up side by side to increase the working area under one roof When this is done the adjacent rigid frames should be bolted back to back with a channel spacer at each girt location (Figure 17-9) The eave struts are moved up the roof beam to the second set of holes to provide a gutter This arrangement provides a space between eave struts and you can install a field fabricated gutter Flat unpainted galvanized steel of 24- to 26-gauge material should be used for the gutter with downspouts located as required Gutter ends should be lapped and braze-welded for watertightness Note that wall sheets can be used to form a gutter if the outside corrugations are flattened and all the end laps are braze-welded Roof sheets must be cut shorter where they overhang the gutter The corrugations can be closed with the continuous rubber closure with mastic applied to the top and bottom surfaces of the closure An alternate method is to flatten the corrugations at the gutter and seal them with a glass fabric stripping set in plastic

130 Disassembly Procedures Disassembling a pre-engineered building is not difficult once you are familiar with the erection procedures However when you disassemble a building be sure to clearly mark or number all of the parts so you will know where the parts go when reassembling the building The following are the main steps of the disassembly procedures

bull Remove the sheeting

bull Remove the windows door leaves and end wall

bull Remove the diagonal brace angles and sag rods

bull Remove the braces girts and purlins

bull Let down the frames

131 Marking It is obvious but worth repeating In disassembling a building be sure to clearly mark or number all parts You will then know where the parts go when reassembling the building Carefully handling the building components during disassembly is very important You may have to reuse these same components at another location As you complete disassembly protect those components from damage Any damaged components will have to be replaced and time might not be on your side In planning a disassembly remember you probably no longer have the original shipping containers in which to repack As offered earlier the shipping material makes good sawhorses and sometimes runners for stairs so it is not likely to be around any longer If the disassembled PEB will have significant rehandling or lengthy storage consider making secondary shipping crates of available materials for handling ease and parts accountability

200 K-SPAN BUILDINGS The K-span building has been used in the Seabee community for years (Figure 17-10) The intended uses of these buildings are as varied as the PEBs Training key personnel in the operation of the equipment associated with the K-span is essential Once trained these same personnel can instruct other members of the crew in the safe erection of a K-span The following section gives you some but not all of the key elements associated with K-span construction The ABM 120 and 240 and the UBM 120 and 240 are the machines used in K-span construction The UBM differs from the ABM in

several ways but the two major differences are the computer input system and the seaming system used by the UBM which eliminates the need for bolting the sections together saving workers and time needed for construction All other aspects are the same when comparing the ABM and the UBM ABMs will be discussed in detail below As with other equipment always refer to the manufacturerrsquos manuals

Figure 17-10 mdash Typical K-span building

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-14

210 ABM 120 System The K-span building system consists of a self-contained metal building manufacturing plant known as the ABM 120 SystemAutomatic Building Machine 120 This machine is mounted on a trailer forming a type of ldquomobile factoryrdquo that is easily towed to even the remotest construction sites (Figure 17-11) An important aspect of this machine is that it can easily be transported by air anywhere in the world In fact the ABM System has been certified for air transport by the US Air Force in C-130 C-141 C-5 and C-17

aircraft Once the machine is delivered on site it can be set up in minutes and turn coils of steel into structural strength arched panels The panels are then machine seamed together to form an economical and watertight steel structure The final shape and strength of the fabricated materials eliminate the need for columns beams or any other type of interior support All of the panel-to-panel connections are joined using an electric automatic seaming machine Because of this there are no nuts bolts or any other type of fastener to slow down construction or create leaks Once delivered to the jobsite the ldquoon-siterdquo manufacturing abilities of the machine give the ABM operator complete control of fabrication as well as the quality of the building

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-15

211 Operating Instructions The main component of the K-span system is the trailer-mounted building machine Figure 17-12 shows the primary components of the trailer as well as the general operational steps

The key position is the operatorrsquos station at the rear of the trailer (Figure 17-13) The individual selected for this station must thoroughly understand the machinersquos operations and manuals because from there the operator controls all the elements required to form the panels The operator must remain at the controls at all times forming panels is a complex operation that becomes easier with a thorough understanding of the manuals The operator first runs the coil stock through the machine to form the panel shape and then cuts it off at the correct length This length is the required length for one arched panel to run continuously from one footer to the other After cutting the panel to length the operator runs it back through the machine to give it the correct arch From the placement of the trailer on site to the completion of the curved panels attention to detail is paramount

Figure 17-12 mdash Trailer-mounted machinery

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-16

If you are selected for the operatorrsquos position as you operate the panel you will be adjusting the various machine operating components Make adjustments for thickness radius and the curving machine according to the manuals Do not permit short cuts in adjustments Any deviations in adjustments or disregard for the instructions found in the operating manuals will leave you with a pile of useless material and an inconsistent building

212 Machinery Placement To avoid setup problems preplanning of the site layout is important Uneven or sloped ground is not a concern as long as the bed of the trailer aligns with the general lay of the existing surface conditions Using Figure 17-14 as a guide consider the following items when placing the machinery

bull Allow maneuvering room for the towing of the trailer or leave it attached to the vehicle (A)

bull The length of the unit is 27 feet 8 inches long by 7 feet 4 inches wide (B)

bull Allow enough room for run-out stands to hold straight panels Stands have a net length of 9 feet 6 inches each (C)

bull Find point X From the center of the curve measure the distance equal to the radius in line with the front of the curved frame From point X scribe an arc equal to the radius This arc will define the path of the curved panel Add 10 feet for run-out stands and legs (D)

bull Allocate room for a storage area required to store coil stock and access for equipment to load it onto the machine (E)

bull Consider the direction the curved panels must be carried after being formed (F)

Figure 17-13 mdash Rear of K-span trailer

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-17

bull Allocate a level area in which to lay the panels on the ground for seaming The building will not be consistent if the panels are not straight when seaming is done (G)

bull Allocate space required for crane operations (H)

213 Foundations While the design of the foundation for a K-span building depends on the buildingrsquos size existing soil conditions and wind load the foundations are simple and easy to construct With the even distribution of the load in a standard arch building the size of the continuous strip footing is smaller and more economical than the foundations for conventional buildings The provided concrete forms and accessories to form the foundations are sufficient for a building 100 feet long by 50 feet wide and forms are available upon request from the manufacturer for different configurations The actual footing construction is based as all projects are on the building plans and specifications The location of the forms placement of steel and the psi (pounds per square inch) of the concrete are critical Since the building is welded to the angle in the footer prior to the concrete placement all aspects of the footer construction must be thoroughly checked for alignment and square Once concrete is placed there is no way to correct mistakes

214 Building Erection With the placement of the machinery and the forming of the building panels in progress your next considerations are the placement and the weight-lifting capabilities of the crane Check the cranersquos weight-lifting chart for its maximum weight capacity This dictates the number of panels you can safely lift at the operating distance or reach As with all crane operations attempting to lift more than the rated capacity or extending beyond a rated operating distance can cause the crane to turn over Attaching the spreader bar to the curved formed panels is a crucial step (Figure 17-16) Failure to clamp the panel tightly can cause the panels to slip and fall with potential harm to personnel and damage to the panel

Figure 17-15 mdash Simple form assembly

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-20

With guidelines attached as shown in Figure 17-17 and personnel attending the lines lift the panels for placement When lifting consider the following points

bull Lift only as high as necessary

bull Position two crew members at each free end to guide each panel in place

bull Remind crew members to keep their feet out from under the ends of the arches

bull Never attempt lifting any sets of panels in high winds

Figure 17-16 mdash Spreader bar attachment

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-21

Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position it so there will be room for the end wall panels After positioning the first set of panels clamp them to the angle plumb them with guidelines and secure the lines to previously anchored stakes Seam each set to standing panels before detaching the spreader bar then detach the spreader bar and continue to place panel sets After about 15 panels (3 sets) are in place measure the building length at both ends just above the forms and at the center of the arch This measurement will seldom be exactly one foot per panel it is usually slightly more but it should be equal for each panel Adjust the ends to equal the center measure Panels are flexible enough to adjust slightly Check these measurements periodically during building construction Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict the end-wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until all panels are set After the arches are in place set the longest end-wall panel in the form plumb and clamp it in place Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb

Figure 17-17 mdash Guide rope use

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-22

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

Figure 17-18 mdash Building foundation concept

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-23

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

Figure 17-19 mdash Concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-24

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

Figure 17-25 mdash ABM 120 and 240 comparison chart

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-30

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Figure 17-26 mdash Anchor angles in a concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-31

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

Figure 17-28 mdash Partially erected tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-32

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

Figure 17-29 mdash Completed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-33

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-34

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

Figure 17-31 mdash Square self-supporting tower and base

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-36

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

Figure 17-32 mdash Base support for guyed towers

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-35 mdash Erection plan for a pivoted tower

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

4543 Concrete Anchor Poured-in-place concrete anchors are normally used for high stress applications and where multiple guys are attached to a single anchorage

Summary This chapter discussed the assembly and disassembly of pre-engineered and K-span buildings It also discussed steel towers and antennas and presented information on how to secure them with different types of guys and anchors Falls and falling objects are the leading cause of injuries in the construction industry Working with PEBs K-spans and towers always includes working with elevated heights Use your situational awareness remember to follow the prescribed safety precautions and use your common sense donrsquot get under a hoisting load

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 7: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

120 Erection Procedures When all the pre-erection work is completed inspected and passed by Quality Control and your inventory is completed you are ready to start erecting the PEB To give you a general guide to follow this phase of the discussion will introduce you to the basic PEB erection procedures However keep in mind that the drawings provided by the manufacturer must be followed in all cases even where they might differ from information in this training manual The manufacturerrsquos standard practice is to pack an erection manual and a set of drawings in the small parts box (Box 1) shipped with each building

121 Bolting Rigid Frames Before bolting up the rigid-frame assembly clean all the dirt and debris from the top of the foundation and then lay out and bolt the base shoes firmly to the concrete Use appropriate washers between the shoes and nuts Lay out an assembled column and roof beam at each pair of base shoes using one bolt on each side of each base shoe to act as pivots in raising the frame (Figure 17-4) Use drift pins if needed to line up the holes

Figure 17-3 mdash Location and identity of structural members

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-7

122 Frame Erection You can use a gin pole to raise the end frame of the building To prevent distortion of the frame when it is being raised attach a bridle securely to each side of the frame below the splice connection and also to the ridge on the roof beam Drop a driftpin in the frame to prevent the bridle from slipping up Set up the gin pole with a block at the top If a gin pole is not available nail together three 2 x 6rsquos 20 feet long from the longest shipping crate Attach a tag line to the frame (Figure 17-5) Now pull the end frame into the vertical position using a crew of four or five people on the erection line A tag person should have something to take a couple of turns around such as a pole anchored to the ground Then if the frame should go beyond the vertical the tag person would be able to keep it from falling To get the frame started from the ground it should be lifted by several people and propped up as high as practical Bolt an eave strut to each column (Figure 17-5) The eave struts allow the frame to be propped at every stage of the lifting After the frame is in a vertical position install guy lines and props to it so it cannot move

Figure 17-5 mdash Frame erection

Figure 17-4 mdash Frame assembly

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-8

Now raise the second frame in the same way and hold it vertically in place by installing purlins girts and brace rods You can use a crane or other suitable type of power equipment to hoist the frames into place where such equipment is available When power equipment is used use the following suggested procedure

1 Raise the columns bolt them to the base shoes and brace them in place

2 Install all sidewall girts to keep the columns as rigid as possible

3 Bolt the roof beams together and install the gable posts and end-wall header

4 Secure the guy lines and tag lines to the roof beams (Figure 17-6) Attach a wire rope sling at approximately the center of each roof beam

5 Hoist the roof beams into position on top of the columns and bolt them in place

6 When the second rigid-frame section is secured in position install all the roof purlins gable angles and louver angles Note attach the gable clips to the purlins before raising the section into position

7 Install the brace rods and align the first bay

CAUTION The first bay must be aligned before erecting additional bays

123 Brace Rods Brace rods must be installed in the first bay erected (Figure 17-7) These rods are of paramount importance since they hold the frames in an upright position

CAUTION Never omit the brace rods either sidewall or roof The diagonal brace rods are attached to the frames in the roof and sidewall through the slotted holes provided Use a half-round brace rod washer and a flat steel washer under the nuts at each end of the rods With the rods installed plumb each frame column with the carpenterrsquos spirit level Check the distance diagonally from the upper corner of one frame to the lower corner of the adjacent frame When this distance is the same for each rod the columns will be

Figure 17-6 mdash Using power equipment

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-9

plumb After the sidewall rods are installed install the roof rods The length of the roof rods can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the turnbuckle When the two diagonal measurements are the same the end bay will be square

After the two frames have been plumbed and braced square with the diagonal rods and the purlins girts and eave struts have been installed the guy lines or props can be removed and the remaining frames of the building can be erected Note the following precautions

bull Do not omit the diagonal brace rods that are required in the last bay of the building

bull Be sure to bolt the girts purlins and eave struts to the inside holes of the end frames

bull Install the eave struts girts and purlins in each bay as soon as a frame is erected

bull Exercise care to see that the diagonal brace rods are taut and do not project beyond the flanges of the end frame to interfere with end-wall sheeting

bull To raise the next frame attach blocks to the last frame raised and proceed to the next bay frame

124 Sag Rods Sag rods are used to hold the purlins and the girts in a straight line First install the sag rods that connect the two purlins at the ridge of the building Each rod must be attached from the top hole of one purlin through the bottom hole of the adjacent purlin Use two nuts at each end of the sag rods one on each side of each purlin Adjust the nuts on these rods so the purlins are held straight and rigid Next install the sag rods between the purlins below the ridge with the rod attached from the top hole of the upper purlin through the bottom hole of the lower purlin Use two nuts on each end one on each side of each purlin Follow the same procedure with the sidewall sag rods

Figure 17-7 mdash Frame erection

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-10

Remember the roof purlins should show a straight line from end to end of the building Do NOT tighten the sag rods so much that the purlins are twisted out of shape

125 Brace Angles and Base Angles After two or more bays have been erected part of the erection crew can be assigned to install the diagonal brace angles To install the brace angles lay the notched portion against the frame flange and bend it into position (Figure 17-8) Diagonal brace angles are needed to support the inner flange of the frame Be sure to install them so that they are taut

CAUTION Never omit diagonal brace angles They are needed to support the inner flange of the frame Install them so they are taut

While some members of the crew are installing brace angles other members can be installing base angles When assigned this duty first sweep off the top of the concrete foundation so the base angles will set down evenly Bolt the base angles in place with a flat steel washer under the nut Leave the nuts loose to permit later adjustments after the wall sheeting has been applied

126 End-Wall FramingDoorsWindows Refer to the manufacturersrsquo specifications for proper assembly and installation procedures for end-wall framing doors (both sliding and roll-up) and windows as these procedures will vary with available building options

127 Sheeting Always start the sheeting both sidewall and roof at the end of the building toward which the prevailing winds blow For example if the winds are predominately easterlies (from the east) start your sheeting on the west end of the building to ensure that the

Figure 17-8 mdash Diagonal brace angles

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-11

exterior joint in the side laps is away from the blowing of the prevailing winds When installing roof sheeting always use a generous amount of mastic on the upper side of all roof sheets just before moving them to the roof Turn the sheet over and put a bead of mastic on the lip of one side of the corrugation and along one end--near the end but never more than one 1 inch from the end Be sure to apply a horizontal bead of mastic between all sheets in the end laps below the lap holes

128 Building Insulation

The roof sheets must be dry when mastic is applied Mastic is extremely important and you must exercise care whenever applying it to ensure a watertight seal Apply generous beads especially at the comers of the sheets Finally install the ridge cap ensuring proper watershed As previously stated the information in this manual is general information common to pre-engineered buildings

You can insulate a pre-engineered building by any of several methods You can install a blanket type of insulation in 2-foot wide strips to match the width of the roof and wall sheets between the sheets and structural panels at the same time the sheeting is installed Alternatively you can apply a hardboard insulation directly to the inside surface of the structural panels attaching it by helix nails or by sheet metal screws in holes prepared by drilling the structural panels A third option is a wood framing attached to the structural panels and hardboard insulation nailed to the wood

129 Multiple buildings Set Side by Side Pre-engineered buildings can easily be set up side by side to increase the working area under one roof When this is done the adjacent rigid frames should be bolted back to back with a channel spacer at each girt location (Figure 17-9) The eave struts are moved up the roof beam to the second set of holes to provide a gutter This arrangement provides a space between eave struts and you can install a field fabricated gutter Flat unpainted galvanized steel of 24- to 26-gauge material should be used for the gutter with downspouts located as required Gutter ends should be lapped and braze-welded for watertightness Note that wall sheets can be used to form a gutter if the outside corrugations are flattened and all the end laps are braze-welded Roof sheets must be cut shorter where they overhang the gutter The corrugations can be closed with the continuous rubber closure with mastic applied to the top and bottom surfaces of the closure An alternate method is to flatten the corrugations at the gutter and seal them with a glass fabric stripping set in plastic

130 Disassembly Procedures Disassembling a pre-engineered building is not difficult once you are familiar with the erection procedures However when you disassemble a building be sure to clearly mark or number all of the parts so you will know where the parts go when reassembling the building The following are the main steps of the disassembly procedures

bull Remove the sheeting

bull Remove the windows door leaves and end wall

bull Remove the diagonal brace angles and sag rods

bull Remove the braces girts and purlins

bull Let down the frames

131 Marking It is obvious but worth repeating In disassembling a building be sure to clearly mark or number all parts You will then know where the parts go when reassembling the building Carefully handling the building components during disassembly is very important You may have to reuse these same components at another location As you complete disassembly protect those components from damage Any damaged components will have to be replaced and time might not be on your side In planning a disassembly remember you probably no longer have the original shipping containers in which to repack As offered earlier the shipping material makes good sawhorses and sometimes runners for stairs so it is not likely to be around any longer If the disassembled PEB will have significant rehandling or lengthy storage consider making secondary shipping crates of available materials for handling ease and parts accountability

200 K-SPAN BUILDINGS The K-span building has been used in the Seabee community for years (Figure 17-10) The intended uses of these buildings are as varied as the PEBs Training key personnel in the operation of the equipment associated with the K-span is essential Once trained these same personnel can instruct other members of the crew in the safe erection of a K-span The following section gives you some but not all of the key elements associated with K-span construction The ABM 120 and 240 and the UBM 120 and 240 are the machines used in K-span construction The UBM differs from the ABM in

several ways but the two major differences are the computer input system and the seaming system used by the UBM which eliminates the need for bolting the sections together saving workers and time needed for construction All other aspects are the same when comparing the ABM and the UBM ABMs will be discussed in detail below As with other equipment always refer to the manufacturerrsquos manuals

210 ABM 120 System The K-span building system consists of a self-contained metal building manufacturing plant known as the ABM 120 SystemAutomatic Building Machine 120 This machine is mounted on a trailer forming a type of ldquomobile factoryrdquo that is easily towed to even the remotest construction sites (Figure 17-11) An important aspect of this machine is that it can easily be transported by air anywhere in the world In fact the ABM System has been certified for air transport by the US Air Force in C-130 C-141 C-5 and C-17

aircraft Once the machine is delivered on site it can be set up in minutes and turn coils of steel into structural strength arched panels The panels are then machine seamed together to form an economical and watertight steel structure The final shape and strength of the fabricated materials eliminate the need for columns beams or any other type of interior support All of the panel-to-panel connections are joined using an electric automatic seaming machine Because of this there are no nuts bolts or any other type of fastener to slow down construction or create leaks Once delivered to the jobsite the ldquoon-siterdquo manufacturing abilities of the machine give the ABM operator complete control of fabrication as well as the quality of the building

211 Operating Instructions The main component of the K-span system is the trailer-mounted building machine Figure 17-12 shows the primary components of the trailer as well as the general operational steps

The key position is the operatorrsquos station at the rear of the trailer (Figure 17-13) The individual selected for this station must thoroughly understand the machinersquos operations and manuals because from there the operator controls all the elements required to form the panels The operator must remain at the controls at all times forming panels is a complex operation that becomes easier with a thorough understanding of the manuals The operator first runs the coil stock through the machine to form the panel shape and then cuts it off at the correct length This length is the required length for one arched panel to run continuously from one footer to the other After cutting the panel to length the operator runs it back through the machine to give it the correct arch From the placement of the trailer on site to the completion of the curved panels attention to detail is paramount

Figure 17-12 mdash Trailer-mounted machinery

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-16

If you are selected for the operatorrsquos position as you operate the panel you will be adjusting the various machine operating components Make adjustments for thickness radius and the curving machine according to the manuals Do not permit short cuts in adjustments Any deviations in adjustments or disregard for the instructions found in the operating manuals will leave you with a pile of useless material and an inconsistent building

212 Machinery Placement To avoid setup problems preplanning of the site layout is important Uneven or sloped ground is not a concern as long as the bed of the trailer aligns with the general lay of the existing surface conditions Using Figure 17-14 as a guide consider the following items when placing the machinery

bull Allow maneuvering room for the towing of the trailer or leave it attached to the vehicle (A)

bull The length of the unit is 27 feet 8 inches long by 7 feet 4 inches wide (B)

bull Allow enough room for run-out stands to hold straight panels Stands have a net length of 9 feet 6 inches each (C)

bull Find point X From the center of the curve measure the distance equal to the radius in line with the front of the curved frame From point X scribe an arc equal to the radius This arc will define the path of the curved panel Add 10 feet for run-out stands and legs (D)

bull Allocate room for a storage area required to store coil stock and access for equipment to load it onto the machine (E)

bull Consider the direction the curved panels must be carried after being formed (F)

Figure 17-13 mdash Rear of K-span trailer

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-17

bull Allocate a level area in which to lay the panels on the ground for seaming The building will not be consistent if the panels are not straight when seaming is done (G)

bull Allocate space required for crane operations (H)

213 Foundations While the design of the foundation for a K-span building depends on the buildingrsquos size existing soil conditions and wind load the foundations are simple and easy to construct With the even distribution of the load in a standard arch building the size of the continuous strip footing is smaller and more economical than the foundations for conventional buildings The provided concrete forms and accessories to form the foundations are sufficient for a building 100 feet long by 50 feet wide and forms are available upon request from the manufacturer for different configurations The actual footing construction is based as all projects are on the building plans and specifications The location of the forms placement of steel and the psi (pounds per square inch) of the concrete are critical Since the building is welded to the angle in the footer prior to the concrete placement all aspects of the footer construction must be thoroughly checked for alignment and square Once concrete is placed there is no way to correct mistakes

214 Building Erection With the placement of the machinery and the forming of the building panels in progress your next considerations are the placement and the weight-lifting capabilities of the crane Check the cranersquos weight-lifting chart for its maximum weight capacity This dictates the number of panels you can safely lift at the operating distance or reach As with all crane operations attempting to lift more than the rated capacity or extending beyond a rated operating distance can cause the crane to turn over Attaching the spreader bar to the curved formed panels is a crucial step (Figure 17-16) Failure to clamp the panel tightly can cause the panels to slip and fall with potential harm to personnel and damage to the panel

Figure 17-15 mdash Simple form assembly

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-20

With guidelines attached as shown in Figure 17-17 and personnel attending the lines lift the panels for placement When lifting consider the following points

bull Lift only as high as necessary

bull Position two crew members at each free end to guide each panel in place

bull Remind crew members to keep their feet out from under the ends of the arches

bull Never attempt lifting any sets of panels in high winds

Figure 17-16 mdash Spreader bar attachment

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-21

Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position it so there will be room for the end wall panels After positioning the first set of panels clamp them to the angle plumb them with guidelines and secure the lines to previously anchored stakes Seam each set to standing panels before detaching the spreader bar then detach the spreader bar and continue to place panel sets After about 15 panels (3 sets) are in place measure the building length at both ends just above the forms and at the center of the arch This measurement will seldom be exactly one foot per panel it is usually slightly more but it should be equal for each panel Adjust the ends to equal the center measure Panels are flexible enough to adjust slightly Check these measurements periodically during building construction Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict the end-wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until all panels are set After the arches are in place set the longest end-wall panel in the form plumb and clamp it in place Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb

Figure 17-17 mdash Guide rope use

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-22

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

Figure 17-18 mdash Building foundation concept

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-23

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

Figure 17-19 mdash Concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-24

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

Figure 17-25 mdash ABM 120 and 240 comparison chart

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-30

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Figure 17-26 mdash Anchor angles in a concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-31

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

Figure 17-28 mdash Partially erected tower

Figure 17-27 mdash Connection of diagonal and center horizontal members

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-32

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

Figure 17-29 mdash Completed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-33

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-34

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

Figure 17-31 mdash Square self-supporting tower and base

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-36

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

Figure 17-32 mdash Base support for guyed towers

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-35 mdash Erection plan for a pivoted tower

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-42

Figure 17-38 mdash Final tensioning of guys

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-43

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

4543 Concrete Anchor Poured-in-place concrete anchors are normally used for high stress applications and where multiple guys are attached to a single anchorage

Summary This chapter discussed the assembly and disassembly of pre-engineered and K-span buildings It also discussed steel towers and antennas and presented information on how to secure them with different types of guys and anchors Falls and falling objects are the leading cause of injuries in the construction industry Working with PEBs K-spans and towers always includes working with elevated heights Use your situational awareness remember to follow the prescribed safety precautions and use your common sense donrsquot get under a hoisting load

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 8: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

122 Frame Erection You can use a gin pole to raise the end frame of the building To prevent distortion of the frame when it is being raised attach a bridle securely to each side of the frame below the splice connection and also to the ridge on the roof beam Drop a driftpin in the frame to prevent the bridle from slipping up Set up the gin pole with a block at the top If a gin pole is not available nail together three 2 x 6rsquos 20 feet long from the longest shipping crate Attach a tag line to the frame (Figure 17-5) Now pull the end frame into the vertical position using a crew of four or five people on the erection line A tag person should have something to take a couple of turns around such as a pole anchored to the ground Then if the frame should go beyond the vertical the tag person would be able to keep it from falling To get the frame started from the ground it should be lifted by several people and propped up as high as practical Bolt an eave strut to each column (Figure 17-5) The eave struts allow the frame to be propped at every stage of the lifting After the frame is in a vertical position install guy lines and props to it so it cannot move

Figure 17-5 mdash Frame erection

Figure 17-4 mdash Frame assembly

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-8

Now raise the second frame in the same way and hold it vertically in place by installing purlins girts and brace rods You can use a crane or other suitable type of power equipment to hoist the frames into place where such equipment is available When power equipment is used use the following suggested procedure

1 Raise the columns bolt them to the base shoes and brace them in place

2 Install all sidewall girts to keep the columns as rigid as possible

3 Bolt the roof beams together and install the gable posts and end-wall header

4 Secure the guy lines and tag lines to the roof beams (Figure 17-6) Attach a wire rope sling at approximately the center of each roof beam

5 Hoist the roof beams into position on top of the columns and bolt them in place

6 When the second rigid-frame section is secured in position install all the roof purlins gable angles and louver angles Note attach the gable clips to the purlins before raising the section into position

7 Install the brace rods and align the first bay

CAUTION The first bay must be aligned before erecting additional bays

123 Brace Rods Brace rods must be installed in the first bay erected (Figure 17-7) These rods are of paramount importance since they hold the frames in an upright position

CAUTION Never omit the brace rods either sidewall or roof The diagonal brace rods are attached to the frames in the roof and sidewall through the slotted holes provided Use a half-round brace rod washer and a flat steel washer under the nuts at each end of the rods With the rods installed plumb each frame column with the carpenterrsquos spirit level Check the distance diagonally from the upper corner of one frame to the lower corner of the adjacent frame When this distance is the same for each rod the columns will be

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-9

plumb After the sidewall rods are installed install the roof rods The length of the roof rods can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the turnbuckle When the two diagonal measurements are the same the end bay will be square

After the two frames have been plumbed and braced square with the diagonal rods and the purlins girts and eave struts have been installed the guy lines or props can be removed and the remaining frames of the building can be erected Note the following precautions

bull Do not omit the diagonal brace rods that are required in the last bay of the building

bull Be sure to bolt the girts purlins and eave struts to the inside holes of the end frames

bull Install the eave struts girts and purlins in each bay as soon as a frame is erected

bull Exercise care to see that the diagonal brace rods are taut and do not project beyond the flanges of the end frame to interfere with end-wall sheeting

bull To raise the next frame attach blocks to the last frame raised and proceed to the next bay frame

124 Sag Rods Sag rods are used to hold the purlins and the girts in a straight line First install the sag rods that connect the two purlins at the ridge of the building Each rod must be attached from the top hole of one purlin through the bottom hole of the adjacent purlin Use two nuts at each end of the sag rods one on each side of each purlin Adjust the nuts on these rods so the purlins are held straight and rigid Next install the sag rods between the purlins below the ridge with the rod attached from the top hole of the upper purlin through the bottom hole of the lower purlin Use two nuts on each end one on each side of each purlin Follow the same procedure with the sidewall sag rods

Figure 17-7 mdash Frame erection

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-10

Remember the roof purlins should show a straight line from end to end of the building Do NOT tighten the sag rods so much that the purlins are twisted out of shape

125 Brace Angles and Base Angles After two or more bays have been erected part of the erection crew can be assigned to install the diagonal brace angles To install the brace angles lay the notched portion against the frame flange and bend it into position (Figure 17-8) Diagonal brace angles are needed to support the inner flange of the frame Be sure to install them so that they are taut

CAUTION Never omit diagonal brace angles They are needed to support the inner flange of the frame Install them so they are taut

While some members of the crew are installing brace angles other members can be installing base angles When assigned this duty first sweep off the top of the concrete foundation so the base angles will set down evenly Bolt the base angles in place with a flat steel washer under the nut Leave the nuts loose to permit later adjustments after the wall sheeting has been applied

126 End-Wall FramingDoorsWindows Refer to the manufacturersrsquo specifications for proper assembly and installation procedures for end-wall framing doors (both sliding and roll-up) and windows as these procedures will vary with available building options

127 Sheeting Always start the sheeting both sidewall and roof at the end of the building toward which the prevailing winds blow For example if the winds are predominately easterlies (from the east) start your sheeting on the west end of the building to ensure that the

Figure 17-8 mdash Diagonal brace angles

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-11

exterior joint in the side laps is away from the blowing of the prevailing winds When installing roof sheeting always use a generous amount of mastic on the upper side of all roof sheets just before moving them to the roof Turn the sheet over and put a bead of mastic on the lip of one side of the corrugation and along one end--near the end but never more than one 1 inch from the end Be sure to apply a horizontal bead of mastic between all sheets in the end laps below the lap holes

128 Building Insulation

The roof sheets must be dry when mastic is applied Mastic is extremely important and you must exercise care whenever applying it to ensure a watertight seal Apply generous beads especially at the comers of the sheets Finally install the ridge cap ensuring proper watershed As previously stated the information in this manual is general information common to pre-engineered buildings

You can insulate a pre-engineered building by any of several methods You can install a blanket type of insulation in 2-foot wide strips to match the width of the roof and wall sheets between the sheets and structural panels at the same time the sheeting is installed Alternatively you can apply a hardboard insulation directly to the inside surface of the structural panels attaching it by helix nails or by sheet metal screws in holes prepared by drilling the structural panels A third option is a wood framing attached to the structural panels and hardboard insulation nailed to the wood

129 Multiple buildings Set Side by Side Pre-engineered buildings can easily be set up side by side to increase the working area under one roof When this is done the adjacent rigid frames should be bolted back to back with a channel spacer at each girt location (Figure 17-9) The eave struts are moved up the roof beam to the second set of holes to provide a gutter This arrangement provides a space between eave struts and you can install a field fabricated gutter Flat unpainted galvanized steel of 24- to 26-gauge material should be used for the gutter with downspouts located as required Gutter ends should be lapped and braze-welded for watertightness Note that wall sheets can be used to form a gutter if the outside corrugations are flattened and all the end laps are braze-welded Roof sheets must be cut shorter where they overhang the gutter The corrugations can be closed with the continuous rubber closure with mastic applied to the top and bottom surfaces of the closure An alternate method is to flatten the corrugations at the gutter and seal them with a glass fabric stripping set in plastic

130 Disassembly Procedures Disassembling a pre-engineered building is not difficult once you are familiar with the erection procedures However when you disassemble a building be sure to clearly mark or number all of the parts so you will know where the parts go when reassembling the building The following are the main steps of the disassembly procedures

bull Remove the sheeting

bull Remove the windows door leaves and end wall

bull Remove the diagonal brace angles and sag rods

bull Remove the braces girts and purlins

bull Let down the frames

131 Marking It is obvious but worth repeating In disassembling a building be sure to clearly mark or number all parts You will then know where the parts go when reassembling the building Carefully handling the building components during disassembly is very important You may have to reuse these same components at another location As you complete disassembly protect those components from damage Any damaged components will have to be replaced and time might not be on your side In planning a disassembly remember you probably no longer have the original shipping containers in which to repack As offered earlier the shipping material makes good sawhorses and sometimes runners for stairs so it is not likely to be around any longer If the disassembled PEB will have significant rehandling or lengthy storage consider making secondary shipping crates of available materials for handling ease and parts accountability

200 K-SPAN BUILDINGS The K-span building has been used in the Seabee community for years (Figure 17-10) The intended uses of these buildings are as varied as the PEBs Training key personnel in the operation of the equipment associated with the K-span is essential Once trained these same personnel can instruct other members of the crew in the safe erection of a K-span The following section gives you some but not all of the key elements associated with K-span construction The ABM 120 and 240 and the UBM 120 and 240 are the machines used in K-span construction The UBM differs from the ABM in

several ways but the two major differences are the computer input system and the seaming system used by the UBM which eliminates the need for bolting the sections together saving workers and time needed for construction All other aspects are the same when comparing the ABM and the UBM ABMs will be discussed in detail below As with other equipment always refer to the manufacturerrsquos manuals

210 ABM 120 System The K-span building system consists of a self-contained metal building manufacturing plant known as the ABM 120 SystemAutomatic Building Machine 120 This machine is mounted on a trailer forming a type of ldquomobile factoryrdquo that is easily towed to even the remotest construction sites (Figure 17-11) An important aspect of this machine is that it can easily be transported by air anywhere in the world In fact the ABM System has been certified for air transport by the US Air Force in C-130 C-141 C-5 and C-17

aircraft Once the machine is delivered on site it can be set up in minutes and turn coils of steel into structural strength arched panels The panels are then machine seamed together to form an economical and watertight steel structure The final shape and strength of the fabricated materials eliminate the need for columns beams or any other type of interior support All of the panel-to-panel connections are joined using an electric automatic seaming machine Because of this there are no nuts bolts or any other type of fastener to slow down construction or create leaks Once delivered to the jobsite the ldquoon-siterdquo manufacturing abilities of the machine give the ABM operator complete control of fabrication as well as the quality of the building

211 Operating Instructions The main component of the K-span system is the trailer-mounted building machine Figure 17-12 shows the primary components of the trailer as well as the general operational steps

The key position is the operatorrsquos station at the rear of the trailer (Figure 17-13) The individual selected for this station must thoroughly understand the machinersquos operations and manuals because from there the operator controls all the elements required to form the panels The operator must remain at the controls at all times forming panels is a complex operation that becomes easier with a thorough understanding of the manuals The operator first runs the coil stock through the machine to form the panel shape and then cuts it off at the correct length This length is the required length for one arched panel to run continuously from one footer to the other After cutting the panel to length the operator runs it back through the machine to give it the correct arch From the placement of the trailer on site to the completion of the curved panels attention to detail is paramount

Figure 17-12 mdash Trailer-mounted machinery

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-16

If you are selected for the operatorrsquos position as you operate the panel you will be adjusting the various machine operating components Make adjustments for thickness radius and the curving machine according to the manuals Do not permit short cuts in adjustments Any deviations in adjustments or disregard for the instructions found in the operating manuals will leave you with a pile of useless material and an inconsistent building

212 Machinery Placement To avoid setup problems preplanning of the site layout is important Uneven or sloped ground is not a concern as long as the bed of the trailer aligns with the general lay of the existing surface conditions Using Figure 17-14 as a guide consider the following items when placing the machinery

bull Allow maneuvering room for the towing of the trailer or leave it attached to the vehicle (A)

bull The length of the unit is 27 feet 8 inches long by 7 feet 4 inches wide (B)

bull Allow enough room for run-out stands to hold straight panels Stands have a net length of 9 feet 6 inches each (C)

bull Find point X From the center of the curve measure the distance equal to the radius in line with the front of the curved frame From point X scribe an arc equal to the radius This arc will define the path of the curved panel Add 10 feet for run-out stands and legs (D)

bull Allocate room for a storage area required to store coil stock and access for equipment to load it onto the machine (E)

bull Consider the direction the curved panels must be carried after being formed (F)

Figure 17-13 mdash Rear of K-span trailer

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-17

bull Allocate a level area in which to lay the panels on the ground for seaming The building will not be consistent if the panels are not straight when seaming is done (G)

bull Allocate space required for crane operations (H)

213 Foundations While the design of the foundation for a K-span building depends on the buildingrsquos size existing soil conditions and wind load the foundations are simple and easy to construct With the even distribution of the load in a standard arch building the size of the continuous strip footing is smaller and more economical than the foundations for conventional buildings The provided concrete forms and accessories to form the foundations are sufficient for a building 100 feet long by 50 feet wide and forms are available upon request from the manufacturer for different configurations The actual footing construction is based as all projects are on the building plans and specifications The location of the forms placement of steel and the psi (pounds per square inch) of the concrete are critical Since the building is welded to the angle in the footer prior to the concrete placement all aspects of the footer construction must be thoroughly checked for alignment and square Once concrete is placed there is no way to correct mistakes

214 Building Erection With the placement of the machinery and the forming of the building panels in progress your next considerations are the placement and the weight-lifting capabilities of the crane Check the cranersquos weight-lifting chart for its maximum weight capacity This dictates the number of panels you can safely lift at the operating distance or reach As with all crane operations attempting to lift more than the rated capacity or extending beyond a rated operating distance can cause the crane to turn over Attaching the spreader bar to the curved formed panels is a crucial step (Figure 17-16) Failure to clamp the panel tightly can cause the panels to slip and fall with potential harm to personnel and damage to the panel

Figure 17-15 mdash Simple form assembly

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-20

With guidelines attached as shown in Figure 17-17 and personnel attending the lines lift the panels for placement When lifting consider the following points

bull Lift only as high as necessary

bull Position two crew members at each free end to guide each panel in place

bull Remind crew members to keep their feet out from under the ends of the arches

bull Never attempt lifting any sets of panels in high winds

Figure 17-16 mdash Spreader bar attachment

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-21

Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position it so there will be room for the end wall panels After positioning the first set of panels clamp them to the angle plumb them with guidelines and secure the lines to previously anchored stakes Seam each set to standing panels before detaching the spreader bar then detach the spreader bar and continue to place panel sets After about 15 panels (3 sets) are in place measure the building length at both ends just above the forms and at the center of the arch This measurement will seldom be exactly one foot per panel it is usually slightly more but it should be equal for each panel Adjust the ends to equal the center measure Panels are flexible enough to adjust slightly Check these measurements periodically during building construction Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict the end-wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until all panels are set After the arches are in place set the longest end-wall panel in the form plumb and clamp it in place Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb

Figure 17-17 mdash Guide rope use

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-22

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

Figure 17-18 mdash Building foundation concept

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-23

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

Figure 17-19 mdash Concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-24

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

Figure 17-25 mdash ABM 120 and 240 comparison chart

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-30

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Figure 17-26 mdash Anchor angles in a concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-31

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

Figure 17-28 mdash Partially erected tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-32

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

Figure 17-29 mdash Completed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-33

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-34

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

Figure 17-31 mdash Square self-supporting tower and base

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-36

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

Figure 17-32 mdash Base support for guyed towers

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-35 mdash Erection plan for a pivoted tower

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 9: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

Now raise the second frame in the same way and hold it vertically in place by installing purlins girts and brace rods You can use a crane or other suitable type of power equipment to hoist the frames into place where such equipment is available When power equipment is used use the following suggested procedure

1 Raise the columns bolt them to the base shoes and brace them in place

2 Install all sidewall girts to keep the columns as rigid as possible

3 Bolt the roof beams together and install the gable posts and end-wall header

4 Secure the guy lines and tag lines to the roof beams (Figure 17-6) Attach a wire rope sling at approximately the center of each roof beam

5 Hoist the roof beams into position on top of the columns and bolt them in place

6 When the second rigid-frame section is secured in position install all the roof purlins gable angles and louver angles Note attach the gable clips to the purlins before raising the section into position

7 Install the brace rods and align the first bay

CAUTION The first bay must be aligned before erecting additional bays

123 Brace Rods Brace rods must be installed in the first bay erected (Figure 17-7) These rods are of paramount importance since they hold the frames in an upright position

CAUTION Never omit the brace rods either sidewall or roof The diagonal brace rods are attached to the frames in the roof and sidewall through the slotted holes provided Use a half-round brace rod washer and a flat steel washer under the nuts at each end of the rods With the rods installed plumb each frame column with the carpenterrsquos spirit level Check the distance diagonally from the upper corner of one frame to the lower corner of the adjacent frame When this distance is the same for each rod the columns will be

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-9

plumb After the sidewall rods are installed install the roof rods The length of the roof rods can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the turnbuckle When the two diagonal measurements are the same the end bay will be square

After the two frames have been plumbed and braced square with the diagonal rods and the purlins girts and eave struts have been installed the guy lines or props can be removed and the remaining frames of the building can be erected Note the following precautions

bull Do not omit the diagonal brace rods that are required in the last bay of the building

bull Be sure to bolt the girts purlins and eave struts to the inside holes of the end frames

bull Install the eave struts girts and purlins in each bay as soon as a frame is erected

bull Exercise care to see that the diagonal brace rods are taut and do not project beyond the flanges of the end frame to interfere with end-wall sheeting

bull To raise the next frame attach blocks to the last frame raised and proceed to the next bay frame

124 Sag Rods Sag rods are used to hold the purlins and the girts in a straight line First install the sag rods that connect the two purlins at the ridge of the building Each rod must be attached from the top hole of one purlin through the bottom hole of the adjacent purlin Use two nuts at each end of the sag rods one on each side of each purlin Adjust the nuts on these rods so the purlins are held straight and rigid Next install the sag rods between the purlins below the ridge with the rod attached from the top hole of the upper purlin through the bottom hole of the lower purlin Use two nuts on each end one on each side of each purlin Follow the same procedure with the sidewall sag rods

Figure 17-7 mdash Frame erection

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-10

Remember the roof purlins should show a straight line from end to end of the building Do NOT tighten the sag rods so much that the purlins are twisted out of shape

125 Brace Angles and Base Angles After two or more bays have been erected part of the erection crew can be assigned to install the diagonal brace angles To install the brace angles lay the notched portion against the frame flange and bend it into position (Figure 17-8) Diagonal brace angles are needed to support the inner flange of the frame Be sure to install them so that they are taut

CAUTION Never omit diagonal brace angles They are needed to support the inner flange of the frame Install them so they are taut

While some members of the crew are installing brace angles other members can be installing base angles When assigned this duty first sweep off the top of the concrete foundation so the base angles will set down evenly Bolt the base angles in place with a flat steel washer under the nut Leave the nuts loose to permit later adjustments after the wall sheeting has been applied

126 End-Wall FramingDoorsWindows Refer to the manufacturersrsquo specifications for proper assembly and installation procedures for end-wall framing doors (both sliding and roll-up) and windows as these procedures will vary with available building options

127 Sheeting Always start the sheeting both sidewall and roof at the end of the building toward which the prevailing winds blow For example if the winds are predominately easterlies (from the east) start your sheeting on the west end of the building to ensure that the

Figure 17-8 mdash Diagonal brace angles

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-11

exterior joint in the side laps is away from the blowing of the prevailing winds When installing roof sheeting always use a generous amount of mastic on the upper side of all roof sheets just before moving them to the roof Turn the sheet over and put a bead of mastic on the lip of one side of the corrugation and along one end--near the end but never more than one 1 inch from the end Be sure to apply a horizontal bead of mastic between all sheets in the end laps below the lap holes

128 Building Insulation

The roof sheets must be dry when mastic is applied Mastic is extremely important and you must exercise care whenever applying it to ensure a watertight seal Apply generous beads especially at the comers of the sheets Finally install the ridge cap ensuring proper watershed As previously stated the information in this manual is general information common to pre-engineered buildings

You can insulate a pre-engineered building by any of several methods You can install a blanket type of insulation in 2-foot wide strips to match the width of the roof and wall sheets between the sheets and structural panels at the same time the sheeting is installed Alternatively you can apply a hardboard insulation directly to the inside surface of the structural panels attaching it by helix nails or by sheet metal screws in holes prepared by drilling the structural panels A third option is a wood framing attached to the structural panels and hardboard insulation nailed to the wood

129 Multiple buildings Set Side by Side Pre-engineered buildings can easily be set up side by side to increase the working area under one roof When this is done the adjacent rigid frames should be bolted back to back with a channel spacer at each girt location (Figure 17-9) The eave struts are moved up the roof beam to the second set of holes to provide a gutter This arrangement provides a space between eave struts and you can install a field fabricated gutter Flat unpainted galvanized steel of 24- to 26-gauge material should be used for the gutter with downspouts located as required Gutter ends should be lapped and braze-welded for watertightness Note that wall sheets can be used to form a gutter if the outside corrugations are flattened and all the end laps are braze-welded Roof sheets must be cut shorter where they overhang the gutter The corrugations can be closed with the continuous rubber closure with mastic applied to the top and bottom surfaces of the closure An alternate method is to flatten the corrugations at the gutter and seal them with a glass fabric stripping set in plastic

130 Disassembly Procedures Disassembling a pre-engineered building is not difficult once you are familiar with the erection procedures However when you disassemble a building be sure to clearly mark or number all of the parts so you will know where the parts go when reassembling the building The following are the main steps of the disassembly procedures

bull Remove the sheeting

bull Remove the windows door leaves and end wall

bull Remove the diagonal brace angles and sag rods

bull Remove the braces girts and purlins

bull Let down the frames

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-13

131 Marking It is obvious but worth repeating In disassembling a building be sure to clearly mark or number all parts You will then know where the parts go when reassembling the building Carefully handling the building components during disassembly is very important You may have to reuse these same components at another location As you complete disassembly protect those components from damage Any damaged components will have to be replaced and time might not be on your side In planning a disassembly remember you probably no longer have the original shipping containers in which to repack As offered earlier the shipping material makes good sawhorses and sometimes runners for stairs so it is not likely to be around any longer If the disassembled PEB will have significant rehandling or lengthy storage consider making secondary shipping crates of available materials for handling ease and parts accountability

200 K-SPAN BUILDINGS The K-span building has been used in the Seabee community for years (Figure 17-10) The intended uses of these buildings are as varied as the PEBs Training key personnel in the operation of the equipment associated with the K-span is essential Once trained these same personnel can instruct other members of the crew in the safe erection of a K-span The following section gives you some but not all of the key elements associated with K-span construction The ABM 120 and 240 and the UBM 120 and 240 are the machines used in K-span construction The UBM differs from the ABM in

several ways but the two major differences are the computer input system and the seaming system used by the UBM which eliminates the need for bolting the sections together saving workers and time needed for construction All other aspects are the same when comparing the ABM and the UBM ABMs will be discussed in detail below As with other equipment always refer to the manufacturerrsquos manuals

Figure 17-10 mdash Typical K-span building

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-14

210 ABM 120 System The K-span building system consists of a self-contained metal building manufacturing plant known as the ABM 120 SystemAutomatic Building Machine 120 This machine is mounted on a trailer forming a type of ldquomobile factoryrdquo that is easily towed to even the remotest construction sites (Figure 17-11) An important aspect of this machine is that it can easily be transported by air anywhere in the world In fact the ABM System has been certified for air transport by the US Air Force in C-130 C-141 C-5 and C-17

aircraft Once the machine is delivered on site it can be set up in minutes and turn coils of steel into structural strength arched panels The panels are then machine seamed together to form an economical and watertight steel structure The final shape and strength of the fabricated materials eliminate the need for columns beams or any other type of interior support All of the panel-to-panel connections are joined using an electric automatic seaming machine Because of this there are no nuts bolts or any other type of fastener to slow down construction or create leaks Once delivered to the jobsite the ldquoon-siterdquo manufacturing abilities of the machine give the ABM operator complete control of fabrication as well as the quality of the building

211 Operating Instructions The main component of the K-span system is the trailer-mounted building machine Figure 17-12 shows the primary components of the trailer as well as the general operational steps

The key position is the operatorrsquos station at the rear of the trailer (Figure 17-13) The individual selected for this station must thoroughly understand the machinersquos operations and manuals because from there the operator controls all the elements required to form the panels The operator must remain at the controls at all times forming panels is a complex operation that becomes easier with a thorough understanding of the manuals The operator first runs the coil stock through the machine to form the panel shape and then cuts it off at the correct length This length is the required length for one arched panel to run continuously from one footer to the other After cutting the panel to length the operator runs it back through the machine to give it the correct arch From the placement of the trailer on site to the completion of the curved panels attention to detail is paramount

Figure 17-12 mdash Trailer-mounted machinery

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-16

If you are selected for the operatorrsquos position as you operate the panel you will be adjusting the various machine operating components Make adjustments for thickness radius and the curving machine according to the manuals Do not permit short cuts in adjustments Any deviations in adjustments or disregard for the instructions found in the operating manuals will leave you with a pile of useless material and an inconsistent building

212 Machinery Placement To avoid setup problems preplanning of the site layout is important Uneven or sloped ground is not a concern as long as the bed of the trailer aligns with the general lay of the existing surface conditions Using Figure 17-14 as a guide consider the following items when placing the machinery

bull Allow maneuvering room for the towing of the trailer or leave it attached to the vehicle (A)

bull The length of the unit is 27 feet 8 inches long by 7 feet 4 inches wide (B)

bull Allow enough room for run-out stands to hold straight panels Stands have a net length of 9 feet 6 inches each (C)

bull Find point X From the center of the curve measure the distance equal to the radius in line with the front of the curved frame From point X scribe an arc equal to the radius This arc will define the path of the curved panel Add 10 feet for run-out stands and legs (D)

bull Allocate room for a storage area required to store coil stock and access for equipment to load it onto the machine (E)

bull Consider the direction the curved panels must be carried after being formed (F)

Figure 17-13 mdash Rear of K-span trailer

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-17

bull Allocate a level area in which to lay the panels on the ground for seaming The building will not be consistent if the panels are not straight when seaming is done (G)

bull Allocate space required for crane operations (H)

213 Foundations While the design of the foundation for a K-span building depends on the buildingrsquos size existing soil conditions and wind load the foundations are simple and easy to construct With the even distribution of the load in a standard arch building the size of the continuous strip footing is smaller and more economical than the foundations for conventional buildings The provided concrete forms and accessories to form the foundations are sufficient for a building 100 feet long by 50 feet wide and forms are available upon request from the manufacturer for different configurations The actual footing construction is based as all projects are on the building plans and specifications The location of the forms placement of steel and the psi (pounds per square inch) of the concrete are critical Since the building is welded to the angle in the footer prior to the concrete placement all aspects of the footer construction must be thoroughly checked for alignment and square Once concrete is placed there is no way to correct mistakes

214 Building Erection With the placement of the machinery and the forming of the building panels in progress your next considerations are the placement and the weight-lifting capabilities of the crane Check the cranersquos weight-lifting chart for its maximum weight capacity This dictates the number of panels you can safely lift at the operating distance or reach As with all crane operations attempting to lift more than the rated capacity or extending beyond a rated operating distance can cause the crane to turn over Attaching the spreader bar to the curved formed panels is a crucial step (Figure 17-16) Failure to clamp the panel tightly can cause the panels to slip and fall with potential harm to personnel and damage to the panel

Figure 17-15 mdash Simple form assembly

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-20

With guidelines attached as shown in Figure 17-17 and personnel attending the lines lift the panels for placement When lifting consider the following points

bull Lift only as high as necessary

bull Position two crew members at each free end to guide each panel in place

bull Remind crew members to keep their feet out from under the ends of the arches

bull Never attempt lifting any sets of panels in high winds

Figure 17-16 mdash Spreader bar attachment

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-21

Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position it so there will be room for the end wall panels After positioning the first set of panels clamp them to the angle plumb them with guidelines and secure the lines to previously anchored stakes Seam each set to standing panels before detaching the spreader bar then detach the spreader bar and continue to place panel sets After about 15 panels (3 sets) are in place measure the building length at both ends just above the forms and at the center of the arch This measurement will seldom be exactly one foot per panel it is usually slightly more but it should be equal for each panel Adjust the ends to equal the center measure Panels are flexible enough to adjust slightly Check these measurements periodically during building construction Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict the end-wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until all panels are set After the arches are in place set the longest end-wall panel in the form plumb and clamp it in place Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

Figure 17-19 mdash Concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-24

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

Figure 17-25 mdash ABM 120 and 240 comparison chart

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-30

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Figure 17-26 mdash Anchor angles in a concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-31

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

Figure 17-28 mdash Partially erected tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-32

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

Figure 17-29 mdash Completed tower

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-34

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

Figure 17-31 mdash Square self-supporting tower and base

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-36

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

Figure 17-32 mdash Base support for guyed towers

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-35 mdash Erection plan for a pivoted tower

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-43

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 10: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

plumb After the sidewall rods are installed install the roof rods The length of the roof rods can be adjusted by tightening or loosening the turnbuckle When the two diagonal measurements are the same the end bay will be square

After the two frames have been plumbed and braced square with the diagonal rods and the purlins girts and eave struts have been installed the guy lines or props can be removed and the remaining frames of the building can be erected Note the following precautions

bull Do not omit the diagonal brace rods that are required in the last bay of the building

bull Be sure to bolt the girts purlins and eave struts to the inside holes of the end frames

bull Install the eave struts girts and purlins in each bay as soon as a frame is erected

bull Exercise care to see that the diagonal brace rods are taut and do not project beyond the flanges of the end frame to interfere with end-wall sheeting

bull To raise the next frame attach blocks to the last frame raised and proceed to the next bay frame

124 Sag Rods Sag rods are used to hold the purlins and the girts in a straight line First install the sag rods that connect the two purlins at the ridge of the building Each rod must be attached from the top hole of one purlin through the bottom hole of the adjacent purlin Use two nuts at each end of the sag rods one on each side of each purlin Adjust the nuts on these rods so the purlins are held straight and rigid Next install the sag rods between the purlins below the ridge with the rod attached from the top hole of the upper purlin through the bottom hole of the lower purlin Use two nuts on each end one on each side of each purlin Follow the same procedure with the sidewall sag rods

Figure 17-7 mdash Frame erection

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-10

Remember the roof purlins should show a straight line from end to end of the building Do NOT tighten the sag rods so much that the purlins are twisted out of shape

125 Brace Angles and Base Angles After two or more bays have been erected part of the erection crew can be assigned to install the diagonal brace angles To install the brace angles lay the notched portion against the frame flange and bend it into position (Figure 17-8) Diagonal brace angles are needed to support the inner flange of the frame Be sure to install them so that they are taut

CAUTION Never omit diagonal brace angles They are needed to support the inner flange of the frame Install them so they are taut

While some members of the crew are installing brace angles other members can be installing base angles When assigned this duty first sweep off the top of the concrete foundation so the base angles will set down evenly Bolt the base angles in place with a flat steel washer under the nut Leave the nuts loose to permit later adjustments after the wall sheeting has been applied

126 End-Wall FramingDoorsWindows Refer to the manufacturersrsquo specifications for proper assembly and installation procedures for end-wall framing doors (both sliding and roll-up) and windows as these procedures will vary with available building options

127 Sheeting Always start the sheeting both sidewall and roof at the end of the building toward which the prevailing winds blow For example if the winds are predominately easterlies (from the east) start your sheeting on the west end of the building to ensure that the

Figure 17-8 mdash Diagonal brace angles

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-11

exterior joint in the side laps is away from the blowing of the prevailing winds When installing roof sheeting always use a generous amount of mastic on the upper side of all roof sheets just before moving them to the roof Turn the sheet over and put a bead of mastic on the lip of one side of the corrugation and along one end--near the end but never more than one 1 inch from the end Be sure to apply a horizontal bead of mastic between all sheets in the end laps below the lap holes

128 Building Insulation

The roof sheets must be dry when mastic is applied Mastic is extremely important and you must exercise care whenever applying it to ensure a watertight seal Apply generous beads especially at the comers of the sheets Finally install the ridge cap ensuring proper watershed As previously stated the information in this manual is general information common to pre-engineered buildings

You can insulate a pre-engineered building by any of several methods You can install a blanket type of insulation in 2-foot wide strips to match the width of the roof and wall sheets between the sheets and structural panels at the same time the sheeting is installed Alternatively you can apply a hardboard insulation directly to the inside surface of the structural panels attaching it by helix nails or by sheet metal screws in holes prepared by drilling the structural panels A third option is a wood framing attached to the structural panels and hardboard insulation nailed to the wood

129 Multiple buildings Set Side by Side Pre-engineered buildings can easily be set up side by side to increase the working area under one roof When this is done the adjacent rigid frames should be bolted back to back with a channel spacer at each girt location (Figure 17-9) The eave struts are moved up the roof beam to the second set of holes to provide a gutter This arrangement provides a space between eave struts and you can install a field fabricated gutter Flat unpainted galvanized steel of 24- to 26-gauge material should be used for the gutter with downspouts located as required Gutter ends should be lapped and braze-welded for watertightness Note that wall sheets can be used to form a gutter if the outside corrugations are flattened and all the end laps are braze-welded Roof sheets must be cut shorter where they overhang the gutter The corrugations can be closed with the continuous rubber closure with mastic applied to the top and bottom surfaces of the closure An alternate method is to flatten the corrugations at the gutter and seal them with a glass fabric stripping set in plastic

130 Disassembly Procedures Disassembling a pre-engineered building is not difficult once you are familiar with the erection procedures However when you disassemble a building be sure to clearly mark or number all of the parts so you will know where the parts go when reassembling the building The following are the main steps of the disassembly procedures

bull Remove the sheeting

bull Remove the windows door leaves and end wall

bull Remove the diagonal brace angles and sag rods

bull Remove the braces girts and purlins

bull Let down the frames

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-13

131 Marking It is obvious but worth repeating In disassembling a building be sure to clearly mark or number all parts You will then know where the parts go when reassembling the building Carefully handling the building components during disassembly is very important You may have to reuse these same components at another location As you complete disassembly protect those components from damage Any damaged components will have to be replaced and time might not be on your side In planning a disassembly remember you probably no longer have the original shipping containers in which to repack As offered earlier the shipping material makes good sawhorses and sometimes runners for stairs so it is not likely to be around any longer If the disassembled PEB will have significant rehandling or lengthy storage consider making secondary shipping crates of available materials for handling ease and parts accountability

200 K-SPAN BUILDINGS The K-span building has been used in the Seabee community for years (Figure 17-10) The intended uses of these buildings are as varied as the PEBs Training key personnel in the operation of the equipment associated with the K-span is essential Once trained these same personnel can instruct other members of the crew in the safe erection of a K-span The following section gives you some but not all of the key elements associated with K-span construction The ABM 120 and 240 and the UBM 120 and 240 are the machines used in K-span construction The UBM differs from the ABM in

several ways but the two major differences are the computer input system and the seaming system used by the UBM which eliminates the need for bolting the sections together saving workers and time needed for construction All other aspects are the same when comparing the ABM and the UBM ABMs will be discussed in detail below As with other equipment always refer to the manufacturerrsquos manuals

Figure 17-10 mdash Typical K-span building

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-14

210 ABM 120 System The K-span building system consists of a self-contained metal building manufacturing plant known as the ABM 120 SystemAutomatic Building Machine 120 This machine is mounted on a trailer forming a type of ldquomobile factoryrdquo that is easily towed to even the remotest construction sites (Figure 17-11) An important aspect of this machine is that it can easily be transported by air anywhere in the world In fact the ABM System has been certified for air transport by the US Air Force in C-130 C-141 C-5 and C-17

aircraft Once the machine is delivered on site it can be set up in minutes and turn coils of steel into structural strength arched panels The panels are then machine seamed together to form an economical and watertight steel structure The final shape and strength of the fabricated materials eliminate the need for columns beams or any other type of interior support All of the panel-to-panel connections are joined using an electric automatic seaming machine Because of this there are no nuts bolts or any other type of fastener to slow down construction or create leaks Once delivered to the jobsite the ldquoon-siterdquo manufacturing abilities of the machine give the ABM operator complete control of fabrication as well as the quality of the building

211 Operating Instructions The main component of the K-span system is the trailer-mounted building machine Figure 17-12 shows the primary components of the trailer as well as the general operational steps

The key position is the operatorrsquos station at the rear of the trailer (Figure 17-13) The individual selected for this station must thoroughly understand the machinersquos operations and manuals because from there the operator controls all the elements required to form the panels The operator must remain at the controls at all times forming panels is a complex operation that becomes easier with a thorough understanding of the manuals The operator first runs the coil stock through the machine to form the panel shape and then cuts it off at the correct length This length is the required length for one arched panel to run continuously from one footer to the other After cutting the panel to length the operator runs it back through the machine to give it the correct arch From the placement of the trailer on site to the completion of the curved panels attention to detail is paramount

Figure 17-12 mdash Trailer-mounted machinery

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-16

If you are selected for the operatorrsquos position as you operate the panel you will be adjusting the various machine operating components Make adjustments for thickness radius and the curving machine according to the manuals Do not permit short cuts in adjustments Any deviations in adjustments or disregard for the instructions found in the operating manuals will leave you with a pile of useless material and an inconsistent building

212 Machinery Placement To avoid setup problems preplanning of the site layout is important Uneven or sloped ground is not a concern as long as the bed of the trailer aligns with the general lay of the existing surface conditions Using Figure 17-14 as a guide consider the following items when placing the machinery

bull Allow maneuvering room for the towing of the trailer or leave it attached to the vehicle (A)

bull The length of the unit is 27 feet 8 inches long by 7 feet 4 inches wide (B)

bull Allow enough room for run-out stands to hold straight panels Stands have a net length of 9 feet 6 inches each (C)

bull Find point X From the center of the curve measure the distance equal to the radius in line with the front of the curved frame From point X scribe an arc equal to the radius This arc will define the path of the curved panel Add 10 feet for run-out stands and legs (D)

bull Allocate room for a storage area required to store coil stock and access for equipment to load it onto the machine (E)

bull Consider the direction the curved panels must be carried after being formed (F)

Figure 17-13 mdash Rear of K-span trailer

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-17

bull Allocate a level area in which to lay the panels on the ground for seaming The building will not be consistent if the panels are not straight when seaming is done (G)

bull Allocate space required for crane operations (H)

213 Foundations While the design of the foundation for a K-span building depends on the buildingrsquos size existing soil conditions and wind load the foundations are simple and easy to construct With the even distribution of the load in a standard arch building the size of the continuous strip footing is smaller and more economical than the foundations for conventional buildings The provided concrete forms and accessories to form the foundations are sufficient for a building 100 feet long by 50 feet wide and forms are available upon request from the manufacturer for different configurations The actual footing construction is based as all projects are on the building plans and specifications The location of the forms placement of steel and the psi (pounds per square inch) of the concrete are critical Since the building is welded to the angle in the footer prior to the concrete placement all aspects of the footer construction must be thoroughly checked for alignment and square Once concrete is placed there is no way to correct mistakes

214 Building Erection With the placement of the machinery and the forming of the building panels in progress your next considerations are the placement and the weight-lifting capabilities of the crane Check the cranersquos weight-lifting chart for its maximum weight capacity This dictates the number of panels you can safely lift at the operating distance or reach As with all crane operations attempting to lift more than the rated capacity or extending beyond a rated operating distance can cause the crane to turn over Attaching the spreader bar to the curved formed panels is a crucial step (Figure 17-16) Failure to clamp the panel tightly can cause the panels to slip and fall with potential harm to personnel and damage to the panel

With guidelines attached as shown in Figure 17-17 and personnel attending the lines lift the panels for placement When lifting consider the following points

bull Lift only as high as necessary

Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position it so there will be room for the end wall panels After positioning the first set of panels clamp them to the angle plumb them with guidelines and secure the lines to previously anchored stakes Seam each set to standing panels before detaching the spreader bar then detach the spreader bar and continue to place panel sets After about 15 panels (3 sets) are in place measure the building length at both ends just above the forms and at the center of the arch This measurement will seldom be exactly one foot per panel it is usually slightly more but it should be equal for each panel Adjust the ends to equal the center measure Panels are flexible enough to adjust slightly Check these measurements periodically during building construction Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict the end-wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until all panels are set After the arches are in place set the longest end-wall panel in the form plumb and clamp it in place Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

Figure 17-25 mdash ABM 120 and 240 comparison chart

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-30

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Figure 17-26 mdash Anchor angles in a concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-31

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-34

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

Figure 17-31 mdash Square self-supporting tower and base

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-36

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

Figure 17-32 mdash Base support for guyed towers

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-35 mdash Erection plan for a pivoted tower

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 11: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

Remember the roof purlins should show a straight line from end to end of the building Do NOT tighten the sag rods so much that the purlins are twisted out of shape

125 Brace Angles and Base Angles After two or more bays have been erected part of the erection crew can be assigned to install the diagonal brace angles To install the brace angles lay the notched portion against the frame flange and bend it into position (Figure 17-8) Diagonal brace angles are needed to support the inner flange of the frame Be sure to install them so that they are taut

CAUTION Never omit diagonal brace angles They are needed to support the inner flange of the frame Install them so they are taut

While some members of the crew are installing brace angles other members can be installing base angles When assigned this duty first sweep off the top of the concrete foundation so the base angles will set down evenly Bolt the base angles in place with a flat steel washer under the nut Leave the nuts loose to permit later adjustments after the wall sheeting has been applied

126 End-Wall FramingDoorsWindows Refer to the manufacturersrsquo specifications for proper assembly and installation procedures for end-wall framing doors (both sliding and roll-up) and windows as these procedures will vary with available building options

127 Sheeting Always start the sheeting both sidewall and roof at the end of the building toward which the prevailing winds blow For example if the winds are predominately easterlies (from the east) start your sheeting on the west end of the building to ensure that the

Figure 17-8 mdash Diagonal brace angles

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-11

exterior joint in the side laps is away from the blowing of the prevailing winds When installing roof sheeting always use a generous amount of mastic on the upper side of all roof sheets just before moving them to the roof Turn the sheet over and put a bead of mastic on the lip of one side of the corrugation and along one end--near the end but never more than one 1 inch from the end Be sure to apply a horizontal bead of mastic between all sheets in the end laps below the lap holes

128 Building Insulation

The roof sheets must be dry when mastic is applied Mastic is extremely important and you must exercise care whenever applying it to ensure a watertight seal Apply generous beads especially at the comers of the sheets Finally install the ridge cap ensuring proper watershed As previously stated the information in this manual is general information common to pre-engineered buildings

You can insulate a pre-engineered building by any of several methods You can install a blanket type of insulation in 2-foot wide strips to match the width of the roof and wall sheets between the sheets and structural panels at the same time the sheeting is installed Alternatively you can apply a hardboard insulation directly to the inside surface of the structural panels attaching it by helix nails or by sheet metal screws in holes prepared by drilling the structural panels A third option is a wood framing attached to the structural panels and hardboard insulation nailed to the wood

129 Multiple buildings Set Side by Side Pre-engineered buildings can easily be set up side by side to increase the working area under one roof When this is done the adjacent rigid frames should be bolted back to back with a channel spacer at each girt location (Figure 17-9) The eave struts are moved up the roof beam to the second set of holes to provide a gutter This arrangement provides a space between eave struts and you can install a field fabricated gutter Flat unpainted galvanized steel of 24- to 26-gauge material should be used for the gutter with downspouts located as required Gutter ends should be lapped and braze-welded for watertightness Note that wall sheets can be used to form a gutter if the outside corrugations are flattened and all the end laps are braze-welded Roof sheets must be cut shorter where they overhang the gutter The corrugations can be closed with the continuous rubber closure with mastic applied to the top and bottom surfaces of the closure An alternate method is to flatten the corrugations at the gutter and seal them with a glass fabric stripping set in plastic

130 Disassembly Procedures Disassembling a pre-engineered building is not difficult once you are familiar with the erection procedures However when you disassemble a building be sure to clearly mark or number all of the parts so you will know where the parts go when reassembling the building The following are the main steps of the disassembly procedures

bull Remove the sheeting

bull Remove the windows door leaves and end wall

bull Remove the diagonal brace angles and sag rods

bull Remove the braces girts and purlins

bull Let down the frames

Figure 17-9 mdash Buildings side by side

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-13

131 Marking It is obvious but worth repeating In disassembling a building be sure to clearly mark or number all parts You will then know where the parts go when reassembling the building Carefully handling the building components during disassembly is very important You may have to reuse these same components at another location As you complete disassembly protect those components from damage Any damaged components will have to be replaced and time might not be on your side In planning a disassembly remember you probably no longer have the original shipping containers in which to repack As offered earlier the shipping material makes good sawhorses and sometimes runners for stairs so it is not likely to be around any longer If the disassembled PEB will have significant rehandling or lengthy storage consider making secondary shipping crates of available materials for handling ease and parts accountability

200 K-SPAN BUILDINGS The K-span building has been used in the Seabee community for years (Figure 17-10) The intended uses of these buildings are as varied as the PEBs Training key personnel in the operation of the equipment associated with the K-span is essential Once trained these same personnel can instruct other members of the crew in the safe erection of a K-span The following section gives you some but not all of the key elements associated with K-span construction The ABM 120 and 240 and the UBM 120 and 240 are the machines used in K-span construction The UBM differs from the ABM in

several ways but the two major differences are the computer input system and the seaming system used by the UBM which eliminates the need for bolting the sections together saving workers and time needed for construction All other aspects are the same when comparing the ABM and the UBM ABMs will be discussed in detail below As with other equipment always refer to the manufacturerrsquos manuals

Figure 17-10 mdash Typical K-span building

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-14

210 ABM 120 System The K-span building system consists of a self-contained metal building manufacturing plant known as the ABM 120 SystemAutomatic Building Machine 120 This machine is mounted on a trailer forming a type of ldquomobile factoryrdquo that is easily towed to even the remotest construction sites (Figure 17-11) An important aspect of this machine is that it can easily be transported by air anywhere in the world In fact the ABM System has been certified for air transport by the US Air Force in C-130 C-141 C-5 and C-17

aircraft Once the machine is delivered on site it can be set up in minutes and turn coils of steel into structural strength arched panels The panels are then machine seamed together to form an economical and watertight steel structure The final shape and strength of the fabricated materials eliminate the need for columns beams or any other type of interior support All of the panel-to-panel connections are joined using an electric automatic seaming machine Because of this there are no nuts bolts or any other type of fastener to slow down construction or create leaks Once delivered to the jobsite the ldquoon-siterdquo manufacturing abilities of the machine give the ABM operator complete control of fabrication as well as the quality of the building

211 Operating Instructions The main component of the K-span system is the trailer-mounted building machine Figure 17-12 shows the primary components of the trailer as well as the general operational steps

The key position is the operatorrsquos station at the rear of the trailer (Figure 17-13) The individual selected for this station must thoroughly understand the machinersquos operations and manuals because from there the operator controls all the elements required to form the panels The operator must remain at the controls at all times forming panels is a complex operation that becomes easier with a thorough understanding of the manuals The operator first runs the coil stock through the machine to form the panel shape and then cuts it off at the correct length This length is the required length for one arched panel to run continuously from one footer to the other After cutting the panel to length the operator runs it back through the machine to give it the correct arch From the placement of the trailer on site to the completion of the curved panels attention to detail is paramount

Figure 17-12 mdash Trailer-mounted machinery

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-16

If you are selected for the operatorrsquos position as you operate the panel you will be adjusting the various machine operating components Make adjustments for thickness radius and the curving machine according to the manuals Do not permit short cuts in adjustments Any deviations in adjustments or disregard for the instructions found in the operating manuals will leave you with a pile of useless material and an inconsistent building

212 Machinery Placement To avoid setup problems preplanning of the site layout is important Uneven or sloped ground is not a concern as long as the bed of the trailer aligns with the general lay of the existing surface conditions Using Figure 17-14 as a guide consider the following items when placing the machinery

bull Allow maneuvering room for the towing of the trailer or leave it attached to the vehicle (A)

bull The length of the unit is 27 feet 8 inches long by 7 feet 4 inches wide (B)

bull Allow enough room for run-out stands to hold straight panels Stands have a net length of 9 feet 6 inches each (C)

bull Find point X From the center of the curve measure the distance equal to the radius in line with the front of the curved frame From point X scribe an arc equal to the radius This arc will define the path of the curved panel Add 10 feet for run-out stands and legs (D)

bull Allocate room for a storage area required to store coil stock and access for equipment to load it onto the machine (E)

bull Consider the direction the curved panels must be carried after being formed (F)

Figure 17-13 mdash Rear of K-span trailer

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-17

bull Allocate a level area in which to lay the panels on the ground for seaming The building will not be consistent if the panels are not straight when seaming is done (G)

bull Allocate space required for crane operations (H)

213 Foundations While the design of the foundation for a K-span building depends on the buildingrsquos size existing soil conditions and wind load the foundations are simple and easy to construct With the even distribution of the load in a standard arch building the size of the continuous strip footing is smaller and more economical than the foundations for conventional buildings The provided concrete forms and accessories to form the foundations are sufficient for a building 100 feet long by 50 feet wide and forms are available upon request from the manufacturer for different configurations The actual footing construction is based as all projects are on the building plans and specifications The location of the forms placement of steel and the psi (pounds per square inch) of the concrete are critical Since the building is welded to the angle in the footer prior to the concrete placement all aspects of the footer construction must be thoroughly checked for alignment and square Once concrete is placed there is no way to correct mistakes

214 Building Erection With the placement of the machinery and the forming of the building panels in progress your next considerations are the placement and the weight-lifting capabilities of the crane Check the cranersquos weight-lifting chart for its maximum weight capacity This dictates the number of panels you can safely lift at the operating distance or reach As with all crane operations attempting to lift more than the rated capacity or extending beyond a rated operating distance can cause the crane to turn over Attaching the spreader bar to the curved formed panels is a crucial step (Figure 17-16) Failure to clamp the panel tightly can cause the panels to slip and fall with potential harm to personnel and damage to the panel

Figure 17-15 mdash Simple form assembly

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-20

With guidelines attached as shown in Figure 17-17 and personnel attending the lines lift the panels for placement When lifting consider the following points

bull Lift only as high as necessary

bull Position two crew members at each free end to guide each panel in place

bull Remind crew members to keep their feet out from under the ends of the arches

bull Never attempt lifting any sets of panels in high winds

Figure 17-16 mdash Spreader bar attachment

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-21

Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position it so there will be room for the end wall panels After positioning the first set of panels clamp them to the angle plumb them with guidelines and secure the lines to previously anchored stakes Seam each set to standing panels before detaching the spreader bar then detach the spreader bar and continue to place panel sets After about 15 panels (3 sets) are in place measure the building length at both ends just above the forms and at the center of the arch This measurement will seldom be exactly one foot per panel it is usually slightly more but it should be equal for each panel Adjust the ends to equal the center measure Panels are flexible enough to adjust slightly Check these measurements periodically during building construction Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict the end-wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until all panels are set After the arches are in place set the longest end-wall panel in the form plumb and clamp it in place Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-22

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

Figure 17-18 mdash Building foundation concept

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-23

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

Figure 17-19 mdash Concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-24

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

Figure 17-25 mdash ABM 120 and 240 comparison chart

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-34

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

Figure 17-32 mdash Base support for guyed towers

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-35 mdash Erection plan for a pivoted tower

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-43

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 12: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

exterior joint in the side laps is away from the blowing of the prevailing winds When installing roof sheeting always use a generous amount of mastic on the upper side of all roof sheets just before moving them to the roof Turn the sheet over and put a bead of mastic on the lip of one side of the corrugation and along one end--near the end but never more than one 1 inch from the end Be sure to apply a horizontal bead of mastic between all sheets in the end laps below the lap holes

128 Building Insulation

The roof sheets must be dry when mastic is applied Mastic is extremely important and you must exercise care whenever applying it to ensure a watertight seal Apply generous beads especially at the comers of the sheets Finally install the ridge cap ensuring proper watershed As previously stated the information in this manual is general information common to pre-engineered buildings

You can insulate a pre-engineered building by any of several methods You can install a blanket type of insulation in 2-foot wide strips to match the width of the roof and wall sheets between the sheets and structural panels at the same time the sheeting is installed Alternatively you can apply a hardboard insulation directly to the inside surface of the structural panels attaching it by helix nails or by sheet metal screws in holes prepared by drilling the structural panels A third option is a wood framing attached to the structural panels and hardboard insulation nailed to the wood

129 Multiple buildings Set Side by Side Pre-engineered buildings can easily be set up side by side to increase the working area under one roof When this is done the adjacent rigid frames should be bolted back to back with a channel spacer at each girt location (Figure 17-9) The eave struts are moved up the roof beam to the second set of holes to provide a gutter This arrangement provides a space between eave struts and you can install a field fabricated gutter Flat unpainted galvanized steel of 24- to 26-gauge material should be used for the gutter with downspouts located as required Gutter ends should be lapped and braze-welded for watertightness Note that wall sheets can be used to form a gutter if the outside corrugations are flattened and all the end laps are braze-welded Roof sheets must be cut shorter where they overhang the gutter The corrugations can be closed with the continuous rubber closure with mastic applied to the top and bottom surfaces of the closure An alternate method is to flatten the corrugations at the gutter and seal them with a glass fabric stripping set in plastic

130 Disassembly Procedures Disassembling a pre-engineered building is not difficult once you are familiar with the erection procedures However when you disassemble a building be sure to clearly mark or number all of the parts so you will know where the parts go when reassembling the building The following are the main steps of the disassembly procedures

bull Remove the sheeting

bull Remove the windows door leaves and end wall

bull Remove the diagonal brace angles and sag rods

bull Remove the braces girts and purlins

bull Let down the frames

131 Marking It is obvious but worth repeating In disassembling a building be sure to clearly mark or number all parts You will then know where the parts go when reassembling the building Carefully handling the building components during disassembly is very important You may have to reuse these same components at another location As you complete disassembly protect those components from damage Any damaged components will have to be replaced and time might not be on your side In planning a disassembly remember you probably no longer have the original shipping containers in which to repack As offered earlier the shipping material makes good sawhorses and sometimes runners for stairs so it is not likely to be around any longer If the disassembled PEB will have significant rehandling or lengthy storage consider making secondary shipping crates of available materials for handling ease and parts accountability

200 K-SPAN BUILDINGS The K-span building has been used in the Seabee community for years (Figure 17-10) The intended uses of these buildings are as varied as the PEBs Training key personnel in the operation of the equipment associated with the K-span is essential Once trained these same personnel can instruct other members of the crew in the safe erection of a K-span The following section gives you some but not all of the key elements associated with K-span construction The ABM 120 and 240 and the UBM 120 and 240 are the machines used in K-span construction The UBM differs from the ABM in

several ways but the two major differences are the computer input system and the seaming system used by the UBM which eliminates the need for bolting the sections together saving workers and time needed for construction All other aspects are the same when comparing the ABM and the UBM ABMs will be discussed in detail below As with other equipment always refer to the manufacturerrsquos manuals

210 ABM 120 System The K-span building system consists of a self-contained metal building manufacturing plant known as the ABM 120 SystemAutomatic Building Machine 120 This machine is mounted on a trailer forming a type of ldquomobile factoryrdquo that is easily towed to even the remotest construction sites (Figure 17-11) An important aspect of this machine is that it can easily be transported by air anywhere in the world In fact the ABM System has been certified for air transport by the US Air Force in C-130 C-141 C-5 and C-17

aircraft Once the machine is delivered on site it can be set up in minutes and turn coils of steel into structural strength arched panels The panels are then machine seamed together to form an economical and watertight steel structure The final shape and strength of the fabricated materials eliminate the need for columns beams or any other type of interior support All of the panel-to-panel connections are joined using an electric automatic seaming machine Because of this there are no nuts bolts or any other type of fastener to slow down construction or create leaks Once delivered to the jobsite the ldquoon-siterdquo manufacturing abilities of the machine give the ABM operator complete control of fabrication as well as the quality of the building

211 Operating Instructions The main component of the K-span system is the trailer-mounted building machine Figure 17-12 shows the primary components of the trailer as well as the general operational steps

The key position is the operatorrsquos station at the rear of the trailer (Figure 17-13) The individual selected for this station must thoroughly understand the machinersquos operations and manuals because from there the operator controls all the elements required to form the panels The operator must remain at the controls at all times forming panels is a complex operation that becomes easier with a thorough understanding of the manuals The operator first runs the coil stock through the machine to form the panel shape and then cuts it off at the correct length This length is the required length for one arched panel to run continuously from one footer to the other After cutting the panel to length the operator runs it back through the machine to give it the correct arch From the placement of the trailer on site to the completion of the curved panels attention to detail is paramount

Figure 17-12 mdash Trailer-mounted machinery

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-16

If you are selected for the operatorrsquos position as you operate the panel you will be adjusting the various machine operating components Make adjustments for thickness radius and the curving machine according to the manuals Do not permit short cuts in adjustments Any deviations in adjustments or disregard for the instructions found in the operating manuals will leave you with a pile of useless material and an inconsistent building

212 Machinery Placement To avoid setup problems preplanning of the site layout is important Uneven or sloped ground is not a concern as long as the bed of the trailer aligns with the general lay of the existing surface conditions Using Figure 17-14 as a guide consider the following items when placing the machinery

bull Allow maneuvering room for the towing of the trailer or leave it attached to the vehicle (A)

bull The length of the unit is 27 feet 8 inches long by 7 feet 4 inches wide (B)

bull Allow enough room for run-out stands to hold straight panels Stands have a net length of 9 feet 6 inches each (C)

bull Find point X From the center of the curve measure the distance equal to the radius in line with the front of the curved frame From point X scribe an arc equal to the radius This arc will define the path of the curved panel Add 10 feet for run-out stands and legs (D)

bull Allocate room for a storage area required to store coil stock and access for equipment to load it onto the machine (E)

bull Consider the direction the curved panels must be carried after being formed (F)

Figure 17-13 mdash Rear of K-span trailer

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-17

bull Allocate a level area in which to lay the panels on the ground for seaming The building will not be consistent if the panels are not straight when seaming is done (G)

bull Allocate space required for crane operations (H)

213 Foundations While the design of the foundation for a K-span building depends on the buildingrsquos size existing soil conditions and wind load the foundations are simple and easy to construct With the even distribution of the load in a standard arch building the size of the continuous strip footing is smaller and more economical than the foundations for conventional buildings The provided concrete forms and accessories to form the foundations are sufficient for a building 100 feet long by 50 feet wide and forms are available upon request from the manufacturer for different configurations The actual footing construction is based as all projects are on the building plans and specifications The location of the forms placement of steel and the psi (pounds per square inch) of the concrete are critical Since the building is welded to the angle in the footer prior to the concrete placement all aspects of the footer construction must be thoroughly checked for alignment and square Once concrete is placed there is no way to correct mistakes

214 Building Erection With the placement of the machinery and the forming of the building panels in progress your next considerations are the placement and the weight-lifting capabilities of the crane Check the cranersquos weight-lifting chart for its maximum weight capacity This dictates the number of panels you can safely lift at the operating distance or reach As with all crane operations attempting to lift more than the rated capacity or extending beyond a rated operating distance can cause the crane to turn over Attaching the spreader bar to the curved formed panels is a crucial step (Figure 17-16) Failure to clamp the panel tightly can cause the panels to slip and fall with potential harm to personnel and damage to the panel

Figure 17-15 mdash Simple form assembly

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-20

With guidelines attached as shown in Figure 17-17 and personnel attending the lines lift the panels for placement When lifting consider the following points

bull Lift only as high as necessary

bull Position two crew members at each free end to guide each panel in place

bull Remind crew members to keep their feet out from under the ends of the arches

bull Never attempt lifting any sets of panels in high winds

Figure 17-16 mdash Spreader bar attachment

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-21

Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position it so there will be room for the end wall panels After positioning the first set of panels clamp them to the angle plumb them with guidelines and secure the lines to previously anchored stakes Seam each set to standing panels before detaching the spreader bar then detach the spreader bar and continue to place panel sets After about 15 panels (3 sets) are in place measure the building length at both ends just above the forms and at the center of the arch This measurement will seldom be exactly one foot per panel it is usually slightly more but it should be equal for each panel Adjust the ends to equal the center measure Panels are flexible enough to adjust slightly Check these measurements periodically during building construction Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict the end-wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until all panels are set After the arches are in place set the longest end-wall panel in the form plumb and clamp it in place Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

Figure 17-19 mdash Concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-24

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

Figure 17-25 mdash ABM 120 and 240 comparison chart

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-30

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Figure 17-26 mdash Anchor angles in a concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-31

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-32

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

Figure 17-29 mdash Completed tower

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-34

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

Figure 17-31 mdash Square self-supporting tower and base

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-36

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

Figure 17-32 mdash Base support for guyed towers

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-35 mdash Erection plan for a pivoted tower

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-43

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 13: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

130 Disassembly Procedures Disassembling a pre-engineered building is not difficult once you are familiar with the erection procedures However when you disassemble a building be sure to clearly mark or number all of the parts so you will know where the parts go when reassembling the building The following are the main steps of the disassembly procedures

bull Remove the sheeting

bull Remove the windows door leaves and end wall

bull Remove the diagonal brace angles and sag rods

bull Remove the braces girts and purlins

bull Let down the frames

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-13

131 Marking It is obvious but worth repeating In disassembling a building be sure to clearly mark or number all parts You will then know where the parts go when reassembling the building Carefully handling the building components during disassembly is very important You may have to reuse these same components at another location As you complete disassembly protect those components from damage Any damaged components will have to be replaced and time might not be on your side In planning a disassembly remember you probably no longer have the original shipping containers in which to repack As offered earlier the shipping material makes good sawhorses and sometimes runners for stairs so it is not likely to be around any longer If the disassembled PEB will have significant rehandling or lengthy storage consider making secondary shipping crates of available materials for handling ease and parts accountability

200 K-SPAN BUILDINGS The K-span building has been used in the Seabee community for years (Figure 17-10) The intended uses of these buildings are as varied as the PEBs Training key personnel in the operation of the equipment associated with the K-span is essential Once trained these same personnel can instruct other members of the crew in the safe erection of a K-span The following section gives you some but not all of the key elements associated with K-span construction The ABM 120 and 240 and the UBM 120 and 240 are the machines used in K-span construction The UBM differs from the ABM in

several ways but the two major differences are the computer input system and the seaming system used by the UBM which eliminates the need for bolting the sections together saving workers and time needed for construction All other aspects are the same when comparing the ABM and the UBM ABMs will be discussed in detail below As with other equipment always refer to the manufacturerrsquos manuals

Figure 17-10 mdash Typical K-span building

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-14

210 ABM 120 System The K-span building system consists of a self-contained metal building manufacturing plant known as the ABM 120 SystemAutomatic Building Machine 120 This machine is mounted on a trailer forming a type of ldquomobile factoryrdquo that is easily towed to even the remotest construction sites (Figure 17-11) An important aspect of this machine is that it can easily be transported by air anywhere in the world In fact the ABM System has been certified for air transport by the US Air Force in C-130 C-141 C-5 and C-17

aircraft Once the machine is delivered on site it can be set up in minutes and turn coils of steel into structural strength arched panels The panels are then machine seamed together to form an economical and watertight steel structure The final shape and strength of the fabricated materials eliminate the need for columns beams or any other type of interior support All of the panel-to-panel connections are joined using an electric automatic seaming machine Because of this there are no nuts bolts or any other type of fastener to slow down construction or create leaks Once delivered to the jobsite the ldquoon-siterdquo manufacturing abilities of the machine give the ABM operator complete control of fabrication as well as the quality of the building

211 Operating Instructions The main component of the K-span system is the trailer-mounted building machine Figure 17-12 shows the primary components of the trailer as well as the general operational steps

The key position is the operatorrsquos station at the rear of the trailer (Figure 17-13) The individual selected for this station must thoroughly understand the machinersquos operations and manuals because from there the operator controls all the elements required to form the panels The operator must remain at the controls at all times forming panels is a complex operation that becomes easier with a thorough understanding of the manuals The operator first runs the coil stock through the machine to form the panel shape and then cuts it off at the correct length This length is the required length for one arched panel to run continuously from one footer to the other After cutting the panel to length the operator runs it back through the machine to give it the correct arch From the placement of the trailer on site to the completion of the curved panels attention to detail is paramount

Figure 17-12 mdash Trailer-mounted machinery

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-16

If you are selected for the operatorrsquos position as you operate the panel you will be adjusting the various machine operating components Make adjustments for thickness radius and the curving machine according to the manuals Do not permit short cuts in adjustments Any deviations in adjustments or disregard for the instructions found in the operating manuals will leave you with a pile of useless material and an inconsistent building

212 Machinery Placement To avoid setup problems preplanning of the site layout is important Uneven or sloped ground is not a concern as long as the bed of the trailer aligns with the general lay of the existing surface conditions Using Figure 17-14 as a guide consider the following items when placing the machinery

bull Allow maneuvering room for the towing of the trailer or leave it attached to the vehicle (A)

bull The length of the unit is 27 feet 8 inches long by 7 feet 4 inches wide (B)

bull Allow enough room for run-out stands to hold straight panels Stands have a net length of 9 feet 6 inches each (C)

bull Find point X From the center of the curve measure the distance equal to the radius in line with the front of the curved frame From point X scribe an arc equal to the radius This arc will define the path of the curved panel Add 10 feet for run-out stands and legs (D)

bull Allocate room for a storage area required to store coil stock and access for equipment to load it onto the machine (E)

bull Consider the direction the curved panels must be carried after being formed (F)

Figure 17-13 mdash Rear of K-span trailer

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-17

bull Allocate a level area in which to lay the panels on the ground for seaming The building will not be consistent if the panels are not straight when seaming is done (G)

bull Allocate space required for crane operations (H)

213 Foundations While the design of the foundation for a K-span building depends on the buildingrsquos size existing soil conditions and wind load the foundations are simple and easy to construct With the even distribution of the load in a standard arch building the size of the continuous strip footing is smaller and more economical than the foundations for conventional buildings The provided concrete forms and accessories to form the foundations are sufficient for a building 100 feet long by 50 feet wide and forms are available upon request from the manufacturer for different configurations The actual footing construction is based as all projects are on the building plans and specifications The location of the forms placement of steel and the psi (pounds per square inch) of the concrete are critical Since the building is welded to the angle in the footer prior to the concrete placement all aspects of the footer construction must be thoroughly checked for alignment and square Once concrete is placed there is no way to correct mistakes

214 Building Erection With the placement of the machinery and the forming of the building panels in progress your next considerations are the placement and the weight-lifting capabilities of the crane Check the cranersquos weight-lifting chart for its maximum weight capacity This dictates the number of panels you can safely lift at the operating distance or reach As with all crane operations attempting to lift more than the rated capacity or extending beyond a rated operating distance can cause the crane to turn over Attaching the spreader bar to the curved formed panels is a crucial step (Figure 17-16) Failure to clamp the panel tightly can cause the panels to slip and fall with potential harm to personnel and damage to the panel

Figure 17-15 mdash Simple form assembly

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-20

With guidelines attached as shown in Figure 17-17 and personnel attending the lines lift the panels for placement When lifting consider the following points

bull Lift only as high as necessary

bull Position two crew members at each free end to guide each panel in place

bull Remind crew members to keep their feet out from under the ends of the arches

bull Never attempt lifting any sets of panels in high winds

Figure 17-16 mdash Spreader bar attachment

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-21

Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position it so there will be room for the end wall panels After positioning the first set of panels clamp them to the angle plumb them with guidelines and secure the lines to previously anchored stakes Seam each set to standing panels before detaching the spreader bar then detach the spreader bar and continue to place panel sets After about 15 panels (3 sets) are in place measure the building length at both ends just above the forms and at the center of the arch This measurement will seldom be exactly one foot per panel it is usually slightly more but it should be equal for each panel Adjust the ends to equal the center measure Panels are flexible enough to adjust slightly Check these measurements periodically during building construction Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict the end-wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until all panels are set After the arches are in place set the longest end-wall panel in the form plumb and clamp it in place Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-22

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-23

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

Figure 17-19 mdash Concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-24

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

Figure 17-25 mdash ABM 120 and 240 comparison chart

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-30

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Figure 17-26 mdash Anchor angles in a concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-31

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-35 mdash Erection plan for a pivoted tower

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 14: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

131 Marking It is obvious but worth repeating In disassembling a building be sure to clearly mark or number all parts You will then know where the parts go when reassembling the building Carefully handling the building components during disassembly is very important You may have to reuse these same components at another location As you complete disassembly protect those components from damage Any damaged components will have to be replaced and time might not be on your side In planning a disassembly remember you probably no longer have the original shipping containers in which to repack As offered earlier the shipping material makes good sawhorses and sometimes runners for stairs so it is not likely to be around any longer If the disassembled PEB will have significant rehandling or lengthy storage consider making secondary shipping crates of available materials for handling ease and parts accountability

200 K-SPAN BUILDINGS The K-span building has been used in the Seabee community for years (Figure 17-10) The intended uses of these buildings are as varied as the PEBs Training key personnel in the operation of the equipment associated with the K-span is essential Once trained these same personnel can instruct other members of the crew in the safe erection of a K-span The following section gives you some but not all of the key elements associated with K-span construction The ABM 120 and 240 and the UBM 120 and 240 are the machines used in K-span construction The UBM differs from the ABM in

several ways but the two major differences are the computer input system and the seaming system used by the UBM which eliminates the need for bolting the sections together saving workers and time needed for construction All other aspects are the same when comparing the ABM and the UBM ABMs will be discussed in detail below As with other equipment always refer to the manufacturerrsquos manuals

210 ABM 120 System The K-span building system consists of a self-contained metal building manufacturing plant known as the ABM 120 SystemAutomatic Building Machine 120 This machine is mounted on a trailer forming a type of ldquomobile factoryrdquo that is easily towed to even the remotest construction sites (Figure 17-11) An important aspect of this machine is that it can easily be transported by air anywhere in the world In fact the ABM System has been certified for air transport by the US Air Force in C-130 C-141 C-5 and C-17

aircraft Once the machine is delivered on site it can be set up in minutes and turn coils of steel into structural strength arched panels The panels are then machine seamed together to form an economical and watertight steel structure The final shape and strength of the fabricated materials eliminate the need for columns beams or any other type of interior support All of the panel-to-panel connections are joined using an electric automatic seaming machine Because of this there are no nuts bolts or any other type of fastener to slow down construction or create leaks Once delivered to the jobsite the ldquoon-siterdquo manufacturing abilities of the machine give the ABM operator complete control of fabrication as well as the quality of the building

211 Operating Instructions The main component of the K-span system is the trailer-mounted building machine Figure 17-12 shows the primary components of the trailer as well as the general operational steps

The key position is the operatorrsquos station at the rear of the trailer (Figure 17-13) The individual selected for this station must thoroughly understand the machinersquos operations and manuals because from there the operator controls all the elements required to form the panels The operator must remain at the controls at all times forming panels is a complex operation that becomes easier with a thorough understanding of the manuals The operator first runs the coil stock through the machine to form the panel shape and then cuts it off at the correct length This length is the required length for one arched panel to run continuously from one footer to the other After cutting the panel to length the operator runs it back through the machine to give it the correct arch From the placement of the trailer on site to the completion of the curved panels attention to detail is paramount

Figure 17-12 mdash Trailer-mounted machinery

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-16

If you are selected for the operatorrsquos position as you operate the panel you will be adjusting the various machine operating components Make adjustments for thickness radius and the curving machine according to the manuals Do not permit short cuts in adjustments Any deviations in adjustments or disregard for the instructions found in the operating manuals will leave you with a pile of useless material and an inconsistent building

212 Machinery Placement To avoid setup problems preplanning of the site layout is important Uneven or sloped ground is not a concern as long as the bed of the trailer aligns with the general lay of the existing surface conditions Using Figure 17-14 as a guide consider the following items when placing the machinery

bull Allow maneuvering room for the towing of the trailer or leave it attached to the vehicle (A)

bull The length of the unit is 27 feet 8 inches long by 7 feet 4 inches wide (B)

bull Allow enough room for run-out stands to hold straight panels Stands have a net length of 9 feet 6 inches each (C)

bull Find point X From the center of the curve measure the distance equal to the radius in line with the front of the curved frame From point X scribe an arc equal to the radius This arc will define the path of the curved panel Add 10 feet for run-out stands and legs (D)

bull Allocate room for a storage area required to store coil stock and access for equipment to load it onto the machine (E)

bull Consider the direction the curved panels must be carried after being formed (F)

Figure 17-13 mdash Rear of K-span trailer

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-17

bull Allocate a level area in which to lay the panels on the ground for seaming The building will not be consistent if the panels are not straight when seaming is done (G)

bull Allocate space required for crane operations (H)

213 Foundations While the design of the foundation for a K-span building depends on the buildingrsquos size existing soil conditions and wind load the foundations are simple and easy to construct With the even distribution of the load in a standard arch building the size of the continuous strip footing is smaller and more economical than the foundations for conventional buildings The provided concrete forms and accessories to form the foundations are sufficient for a building 100 feet long by 50 feet wide and forms are available upon request from the manufacturer for different configurations The actual footing construction is based as all projects are on the building plans and specifications The location of the forms placement of steel and the psi (pounds per square inch) of the concrete are critical Since the building is welded to the angle in the footer prior to the concrete placement all aspects of the footer construction must be thoroughly checked for alignment and square Once concrete is placed there is no way to correct mistakes

214 Building Erection With the placement of the machinery and the forming of the building panels in progress your next considerations are the placement and the weight-lifting capabilities of the crane Check the cranersquos weight-lifting chart for its maximum weight capacity This dictates the number of panels you can safely lift at the operating distance or reach As with all crane operations attempting to lift more than the rated capacity or extending beyond a rated operating distance can cause the crane to turn over Attaching the spreader bar to the curved formed panels is a crucial step (Figure 17-16) Failure to clamp the panel tightly can cause the panels to slip and fall with potential harm to personnel and damage to the panel

Figure 17-15 mdash Simple form assembly

With guidelines attached as shown in Figure 17-17 and personnel attending the lines lift the panels for placement When lifting consider the following points

bull Lift only as high as necessary

bull Position two crew members at each free end to guide each panel in place

bull Remind crew members to keep their feet out from under the ends of the arches

bull Never attempt lifting any sets of panels in high winds

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-21

Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position it so there will be room for the end wall panels After positioning the first set of panels clamp them to the angle plumb them with guidelines and secure the lines to previously anchored stakes Seam each set to standing panels before detaching the spreader bar then detach the spreader bar and continue to place panel sets After about 15 panels (3 sets) are in place measure the building length at both ends just above the forms and at the center of the arch This measurement will seldom be exactly one foot per panel it is usually slightly more but it should be equal for each panel Adjust the ends to equal the center measure Panels are flexible enough to adjust slightly Check these measurements periodically during building construction Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict the end-wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until all panels are set After the arches are in place set the longest end-wall panel in the form plumb and clamp it in place Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Figure 17-26 mdash Anchor angles in a concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-31

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-34

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

Figure 17-31 mdash Square self-supporting tower and base

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-36

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

Figure 17-32 mdash Base support for guyed towers

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-35 mdash Erection plan for a pivoted tower

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-43

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

210 ABM 120 System The K-span building system consists of a self-contained metal building manufacturing plant known as the ABM 120 SystemAutomatic Building Machine 120 This machine is mounted on a trailer forming a type of ldquomobile factoryrdquo that is easily towed to even the remotest construction sites (Figure 17-11) An important aspect of this machine is that it can easily be transported by air anywhere in the world In fact the ABM System has been certified for air transport by the US Air Force in C-130 C-141 C-5 and C-17

aircraft Once the machine is delivered on site it can be set up in minutes and turn coils of steel into structural strength arched panels The panels are then machine seamed together to form an economical and watertight steel structure The final shape and strength of the fabricated materials eliminate the need for columns beams or any other type of interior support All of the panel-to-panel connections are joined using an electric automatic seaming machine Because of this there are no nuts bolts or any other type of fastener to slow down construction or create leaks Once delivered to the jobsite the ldquoon-siterdquo manufacturing abilities of the machine give the ABM operator complete control of fabrication as well as the quality of the building

The key position is the operatorrsquos station at the rear of the trailer (Figure 17-13) The individual selected for this station must thoroughly understand the machinersquos operations and manuals because from there the operator controls all the elements required to form the panels The operator must remain at the controls at all times forming panels is a complex operation that becomes easier with a thorough understanding of the manuals The operator first runs the coil stock through the machine to form the panel shape and then cuts it off at the correct length This length is the required length for one arched panel to run continuously from one footer to the other After cutting the panel to length the operator runs it back through the machine to give it the correct arch From the placement of the trailer on site to the completion of the curved panels attention to detail is paramount

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-16

If you are selected for the operatorrsquos position as you operate the panel you will be adjusting the various machine operating components Make adjustments for thickness radius and the curving machine according to the manuals Do not permit short cuts in adjustments Any deviations in adjustments or disregard for the instructions found in the operating manuals will leave you with a pile of useless material and an inconsistent building

212 Machinery Placement To avoid setup problems preplanning of the site layout is important Uneven or sloped ground is not a concern as long as the bed of the trailer aligns with the general lay of the existing surface conditions Using Figure 17-14 as a guide consider the following items when placing the machinery

bull Allow maneuvering room for the towing of the trailer or leave it attached to the vehicle (A)

bull The length of the unit is 27 feet 8 inches long by 7 feet 4 inches wide (B)

bull Allow enough room for run-out stands to hold straight panels Stands have a net length of 9 feet 6 inches each (C)

bull Find point X From the center of the curve measure the distance equal to the radius in line with the front of the curved frame From point X scribe an arc equal to the radius This arc will define the path of the curved panel Add 10 feet for run-out stands and legs (D)

bull Allocate room for a storage area required to store coil stock and access for equipment to load it onto the machine (E)

bull Consider the direction the curved panels must be carried after being formed (F)

Figure 17-13 mdash Rear of K-span trailer

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-17

bull Allocate a level area in which to lay the panels on the ground for seaming The building will not be consistent if the panels are not straight when seaming is done (G)

bull Allocate space required for crane operations (H)

213 Foundations While the design of the foundation for a K-span building depends on the buildingrsquos size existing soil conditions and wind load the foundations are simple and easy to construct With the even distribution of the load in a standard arch building the size of the continuous strip footing is smaller and more economical than the foundations for conventional buildings The provided concrete forms and accessories to form the foundations are sufficient for a building 100 feet long by 50 feet wide and forms are available upon request from the manufacturer for different configurations The actual footing construction is based as all projects are on the building plans and specifications The location of the forms placement of steel and the psi (pounds per square inch) of the concrete are critical Since the building is welded to the angle in the footer prior to the concrete placement all aspects of the footer construction must be thoroughly checked for alignment and square Once concrete is placed there is no way to correct mistakes

214 Building Erection With the placement of the machinery and the forming of the building panels in progress your next considerations are the placement and the weight-lifting capabilities of the crane Check the cranersquos weight-lifting chart for its maximum weight capacity This dictates the number of panels you can safely lift at the operating distance or reach As with all crane operations attempting to lift more than the rated capacity or extending beyond a rated operating distance can cause the crane to turn over Attaching the spreader bar to the curved formed panels is a crucial step (Figure 17-16) Failure to clamp the panel tightly can cause the panels to slip and fall with potential harm to personnel and damage to the panel

Figure 17-15 mdash Simple form assembly

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-20

With guidelines attached as shown in Figure 17-17 and personnel attending the lines lift the panels for placement When lifting consider the following points

bull Lift only as high as necessary

bull Position two crew members at each free end to guide each panel in place

bull Remind crew members to keep their feet out from under the ends of the arches

bull Never attempt lifting any sets of panels in high winds

Figure 17-16 mdash Spreader bar attachment

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-21

Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position it so there will be room for the end wall panels After positioning the first set of panels clamp them to the angle plumb them with guidelines and secure the lines to previously anchored stakes Seam each set to standing panels before detaching the spreader bar then detach the spreader bar and continue to place panel sets After about 15 panels (3 sets) are in place measure the building length at both ends just above the forms and at the center of the arch This measurement will seldom be exactly one foot per panel it is usually slightly more but it should be equal for each panel Adjust the ends to equal the center measure Panels are flexible enough to adjust slightly Check these measurements periodically during building construction Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict the end-wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until all panels are set After the arches are in place set the longest end-wall panel in the form plumb and clamp it in place Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb

Figure 17-17 mdash Guide rope use

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-22

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

Figure 17-19 mdash Concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-24

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

Figure 17-25 mdash ABM 120 and 240 comparison chart

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-30

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Figure 17-26 mdash Anchor angles in a concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-31

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

Figure 17-28 mdash Partially erected tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-32

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

Figure 17-29 mdash Completed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-33

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-34

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

Figure 17-31 mdash Square self-supporting tower and base

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-36

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

Figure 17-32 mdash Base support for guyed towers

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-35 mdash Erection plan for a pivoted tower

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 16: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

211 Operating Instructions The main component of the K-span system is the trailer-mounted building machine Figure 17-12 shows the primary components of the trailer as well as the general operational steps

The key position is the operatorrsquos station at the rear of the trailer (Figure 17-13) The individual selected for this station must thoroughly understand the machinersquos operations and manuals because from there the operator controls all the elements required to form the panels The operator must remain at the controls at all times forming panels is a complex operation that becomes easier with a thorough understanding of the manuals The operator first runs the coil stock through the machine to form the panel shape and then cuts it off at the correct length This length is the required length for one arched panel to run continuously from one footer to the other After cutting the panel to length the operator runs it back through the machine to give it the correct arch From the placement of the trailer on site to the completion of the curved panels attention to detail is paramount

Figure 17-12 mdash Trailer-mounted machinery

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-16

If you are selected for the operatorrsquos position as you operate the panel you will be adjusting the various machine operating components Make adjustments for thickness radius and the curving machine according to the manuals Do not permit short cuts in adjustments Any deviations in adjustments or disregard for the instructions found in the operating manuals will leave you with a pile of useless material and an inconsistent building

212 Machinery Placement To avoid setup problems preplanning of the site layout is important Uneven or sloped ground is not a concern as long as the bed of the trailer aligns with the general lay of the existing surface conditions Using Figure 17-14 as a guide consider the following items when placing the machinery

bull Allow maneuvering room for the towing of the trailer or leave it attached to the vehicle (A)

bull The length of the unit is 27 feet 8 inches long by 7 feet 4 inches wide (B)

bull Allow enough room for run-out stands to hold straight panels Stands have a net length of 9 feet 6 inches each (C)

bull Find point X From the center of the curve measure the distance equal to the radius in line with the front of the curved frame From point X scribe an arc equal to the radius This arc will define the path of the curved panel Add 10 feet for run-out stands and legs (D)

bull Allocate room for a storage area required to store coil stock and access for equipment to load it onto the machine (E)

bull Consider the direction the curved panels must be carried after being formed (F)

Figure 17-13 mdash Rear of K-span trailer

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-17

bull Allocate a level area in which to lay the panels on the ground for seaming The building will not be consistent if the panels are not straight when seaming is done (G)

bull Allocate space required for crane operations (H)

213 Foundations While the design of the foundation for a K-span building depends on the buildingrsquos size existing soil conditions and wind load the foundations are simple and easy to construct With the even distribution of the load in a standard arch building the size of the continuous strip footing is smaller and more economical than the foundations for conventional buildings The provided concrete forms and accessories to form the foundations are sufficient for a building 100 feet long by 50 feet wide and forms are available upon request from the manufacturer for different configurations The actual footing construction is based as all projects are on the building plans and specifications The location of the forms placement of steel and the psi (pounds per square inch) of the concrete are critical Since the building is welded to the angle in the footer prior to the concrete placement all aspects of the footer construction must be thoroughly checked for alignment and square Once concrete is placed there is no way to correct mistakes

214 Building Erection With the placement of the machinery and the forming of the building panels in progress your next considerations are the placement and the weight-lifting capabilities of the crane Check the cranersquos weight-lifting chart for its maximum weight capacity This dictates the number of panels you can safely lift at the operating distance or reach As with all crane operations attempting to lift more than the rated capacity or extending beyond a rated operating distance can cause the crane to turn over Attaching the spreader bar to the curved formed panels is a crucial step (Figure 17-16) Failure to clamp the panel tightly can cause the panels to slip and fall with potential harm to personnel and damage to the panel

Figure 17-15 mdash Simple form assembly

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-20

With guidelines attached as shown in Figure 17-17 and personnel attending the lines lift the panels for placement When lifting consider the following points

bull Lift only as high as necessary

bull Position two crew members at each free end to guide each panel in place

bull Remind crew members to keep their feet out from under the ends of the arches

bull Never attempt lifting any sets of panels in high winds

Figure 17-16 mdash Spreader bar attachment

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-21

Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position it so there will be room for the end wall panels After positioning the first set of panels clamp them to the angle plumb them with guidelines and secure the lines to previously anchored stakes Seam each set to standing panels before detaching the spreader bar then detach the spreader bar and continue to place panel sets After about 15 panels (3 sets) are in place measure the building length at both ends just above the forms and at the center of the arch This measurement will seldom be exactly one foot per panel it is usually slightly more but it should be equal for each panel Adjust the ends to equal the center measure Panels are flexible enough to adjust slightly Check these measurements periodically during building construction Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict the end-wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until all panels are set After the arches are in place set the longest end-wall panel in the form plumb and clamp it in place Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-22

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-23

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

Figure 17-19 mdash Concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-24

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Figure 17-26 mdash Anchor angles in a concrete foundation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-31

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-35 mdash Erection plan for a pivoted tower

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

If you are selected for the operatorrsquos position as you operate the panel you will be adjusting the various machine operating components Make adjustments for thickness radius and the curving machine according to the manuals Do not permit short cuts in adjustments Any deviations in adjustments or disregard for the instructions found in the operating manuals will leave you with a pile of useless material and an inconsistent building

212 Machinery Placement To avoid setup problems preplanning of the site layout is important Uneven or sloped ground is not a concern as long as the bed of the trailer aligns with the general lay of the existing surface conditions Using Figure 17-14 as a guide consider the following items when placing the machinery

bull Allow maneuvering room for the towing of the trailer or leave it attached to the vehicle (A)

bull The length of the unit is 27 feet 8 inches long by 7 feet 4 inches wide (B)

bull Allow enough room for run-out stands to hold straight panels Stands have a net length of 9 feet 6 inches each (C)

bull Find point X From the center of the curve measure the distance equal to the radius in line with the front of the curved frame From point X scribe an arc equal to the radius This arc will define the path of the curved panel Add 10 feet for run-out stands and legs (D)

bull Allocate room for a storage area required to store coil stock and access for equipment to load it onto the machine (E)

bull Consider the direction the curved panels must be carried after being formed (F)

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-17

bull Allocate a level area in which to lay the panels on the ground for seaming The building will not be consistent if the panels are not straight when seaming is done (G)

bull Allocate space required for crane operations (H)

213 Foundations While the design of the foundation for a K-span building depends on the buildingrsquos size existing soil conditions and wind load the foundations are simple and easy to construct With the even distribution of the load in a standard arch building the size of the continuous strip footing is smaller and more economical than the foundations for conventional buildings The provided concrete forms and accessories to form the foundations are sufficient for a building 100 feet long by 50 feet wide and forms are available upon request from the manufacturer for different configurations The actual footing construction is based as all projects are on the building plans and specifications The location of the forms placement of steel and the psi (pounds per square inch) of the concrete are critical Since the building is welded to the angle in the footer prior to the concrete placement all aspects of the footer construction must be thoroughly checked for alignment and square Once concrete is placed there is no way to correct mistakes

214 Building Erection With the placement of the machinery and the forming of the building panels in progress your next considerations are the placement and the weight-lifting capabilities of the crane Check the cranersquos weight-lifting chart for its maximum weight capacity This dictates the number of panels you can safely lift at the operating distance or reach As with all crane operations attempting to lift more than the rated capacity or extending beyond a rated operating distance can cause the crane to turn over Attaching the spreader bar to the curved formed panels is a crucial step (Figure 17-16) Failure to clamp the panel tightly can cause the panels to slip and fall with potential harm to personnel and damage to the panel

With guidelines attached as shown in Figure 17-17 and personnel attending the lines lift the panels for placement When lifting consider the following points

bull Lift only as high as necessary

bull Position two crew members at each free end to guide each panel in place

bull Remind crew members to keep their feet out from under the ends of the arches

bull Never attempt lifting any sets of panels in high winds

Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position it so there will be room for the end wall panels After positioning the first set of panels clamp them to the angle plumb them with guidelines and secure the lines to previously anchored stakes Seam each set to standing panels before detaching the spreader bar then detach the spreader bar and continue to place panel sets After about 15 panels (3 sets) are in place measure the building length at both ends just above the forms and at the center of the arch This measurement will seldom be exactly one foot per panel it is usually slightly more but it should be equal for each panel Adjust the ends to equal the center measure Panels are flexible enough to adjust slightly Check these measurements periodically during building construction Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict the end-wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until all panels are set After the arches are in place set the longest end-wall panel in the form plumb and clamp it in place Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-34

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

Figure 17-32 mdash Base support for guyed towers

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-35 mdash Erection plan for a pivoted tower

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-43

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 18: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

bull Allocate a level area in which to lay the panels on the ground for seaming The building will not be consistent if the panels are not straight when seaming is done (G)

bull Allocate space required for crane operations (H)

213 Foundations While the design of the foundation for a K-span building depends on the buildingrsquos size existing soil conditions and wind load the foundations are simple and easy to construct With the even distribution of the load in a standard arch building the size of the continuous strip footing is smaller and more economical than the foundations for conventional buildings The provided concrete forms and accessories to form the foundations are sufficient for a building 100 feet long by 50 feet wide and forms are available upon request from the manufacturer for different configurations The actual footing construction is based as all projects are on the building plans and specifications The location of the forms placement of steel and the psi (pounds per square inch) of the concrete are critical Since the building is welded to the angle in the footer prior to the concrete placement all aspects of the footer construction must be thoroughly checked for alignment and square Once concrete is placed there is no way to correct mistakes

214 Building Erection With the placement of the machinery and the forming of the building panels in progress your next considerations are the placement and the weight-lifting capabilities of the crane Check the cranersquos weight-lifting chart for its maximum weight capacity This dictates the number of panels you can safely lift at the operating distance or reach As with all crane operations attempting to lift more than the rated capacity or extending beyond a rated operating distance can cause the crane to turn over Attaching the spreader bar to the curved formed panels is a crucial step (Figure 17-16) Failure to clamp the panel tightly can cause the panels to slip and fall with potential harm to personnel and damage to the panel

With guidelines attached as shown in Figure 17-17 and personnel attending the lines lift the panels for placement When lifting consider the following points

bull Lift only as high as necessary

bull Position two crew members at each free end to guide each panel in place

bull Remind crew members to keep their feet out from under the ends of the arches

bull Never attempt lifting any sets of panels in high winds

Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position it so there will be room for the end wall panels After positioning the first set of panels clamp them to the angle plumb them with guidelines and secure the lines to previously anchored stakes Seam each set to standing panels before detaching the spreader bar then detach the spreader bar and continue to place panel sets After about 15 panels (3 sets) are in place measure the building length at both ends just above the forms and at the center of the arch This measurement will seldom be exactly one foot per panel it is usually slightly more but it should be equal for each panel Adjust the ends to equal the center measure Panels are flexible enough to adjust slightly Check these measurements periodically during building construction Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict the end-wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until all panels are set After the arches are in place set the longest end-wall panel in the form plumb and clamp it in place Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-34

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

Figure 17-32 mdash Base support for guyed towers

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-35 mdash Erection plan for a pivoted tower

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-43

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

214 Building Erection With the placement of the machinery and the forming of the building panels in progress your next considerations are the placement and the weight-lifting capabilities of the crane Check the cranersquos weight-lifting chart for its maximum weight capacity This dictates the number of panels you can safely lift at the operating distance or reach As with all crane operations attempting to lift more than the rated capacity or extending beyond a rated operating distance can cause the crane to turn over Attaching the spreader bar to the curved formed panels is a crucial step (Figure 17-16) Failure to clamp the panel tightly can cause the panels to slip and fall with potential harm to personnel and damage to the panel

With guidelines attached as shown in Figure 17-17 and personnel attending the lines lift the panels for placement When lifting consider the following points

bull Lift only as high as necessary

bull Position two crew members at each free end to guide each panel in place

bull Remind crew members to keep their feet out from under the ends of the arches

bull Never attempt lifting any sets of panels in high winds

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-21

Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position it so there will be room for the end wall panels After positioning the first set of panels clamp them to the angle plumb them with guidelines and secure the lines to previously anchored stakes Seam each set to standing panels before detaching the spreader bar then detach the spreader bar and continue to place panel sets After about 15 panels (3 sets) are in place measure the building length at both ends just above the forms and at the center of the arch This measurement will seldom be exactly one foot per panel it is usually slightly more but it should be equal for each panel Adjust the ends to equal the center measure Panels are flexible enough to adjust slightly Check these measurements periodically during building construction Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict the end-wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until all panels are set After the arches are in place set the longest end-wall panel in the form plumb and clamp it in place Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-24

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-34

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

Figure 17-32 mdash Base support for guyed towers

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-35 mdash Erection plan for a pivoted tower

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 20: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

214 Building Erection With the placement of the machinery and the forming of the building panels in progress your next considerations are the placement and the weight-lifting capabilities of the crane Check the cranersquos weight-lifting chart for its maximum weight capacity This dictates the number of panels you can safely lift at the operating distance or reach As with all crane operations attempting to lift more than the rated capacity or extending beyond a rated operating distance can cause the crane to turn over Attaching the spreader bar to the curved formed panels is a crucial step (Figure 17-16) Failure to clamp the panel tightly can cause the panels to slip and fall with potential harm to personnel and damage to the panel

With guidelines attached as shown in Figure 17-17 and personnel attending the lines lift the panels for placement When lifting consider the following points

bull Lift only as high as necessary

bull Position two crew members at each free end to guide each panel in place

bull Remind crew members to keep their feet out from under the ends of the arches

bull Never attempt lifting any sets of panels in high winds

Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position it so there will be room for the end wall panels After positioning the first set of panels clamp them to the angle plumb them with guidelines and secure the lines to previously anchored stakes Seam each set to standing panels before detaching the spreader bar then detach the spreader bar and continue to place panel sets After about 15 panels (3 sets) are in place measure the building length at both ends just above the forms and at the center of the arch This measurement will seldom be exactly one foot per panel it is usually slightly more but it should be equal for each panel Adjust the ends to equal the center measure Panels are flexible enough to adjust slightly Check these measurements periodically during building construction Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict the end-wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until all panels are set After the arches are in place set the longest end-wall panel in the form plumb and clamp it in place Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-24

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-35 mdash Erection plan for a pivoted tower

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

With guidelines attached as shown in Figure 17-17 and personnel attending the lines lift the panels for placement When lifting consider the following points

bull Lift only as high as necessary

bull Position two crew members at each free end to guide each panel in place

bull Remind crew members to keep their feet out from under the ends of the arches

bull Never attempt lifting any sets of panels in high winds

Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position it so there will be room for the end wall panels After positioning the first set of panels clamp them to the angle plumb them with guidelines and secure the lines to previously anchored stakes Seam each set to standing panels before detaching the spreader bar then detach the spreader bar and continue to place panel sets After about 15 panels (3 sets) are in place measure the building length at both ends just above the forms and at the center of the arch This measurement will seldom be exactly one foot per panel it is usually slightly more but it should be equal for each panel Adjust the ends to equal the center measure Panels are flexible enough to adjust slightly Check these measurements periodically during building construction Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict the end-wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until all panels are set After the arches are in place set the longest end-wall panel in the form plumb and clamp it in place Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Place the first set of panels on the attaching angle of the foundation and position it so there will be room for the end wall panels After positioning the first set of panels clamp them to the angle plumb them with guidelines and secure the lines to previously anchored stakes Seam each set to standing panels before detaching the spreader bar then detach the spreader bar and continue to place panel sets After about 15 panels (3 sets) are in place measure the building length at both ends just above the forms and at the center of the arch This measurement will seldom be exactly one foot per panel it is usually slightly more but it should be equal for each panel Adjust the ends to equal the center measure Panels are flexible enough to adjust slightly Check these measurements periodically during building construction Since exact building lengths are difficult to predict the end-wall attaching angle on the finishing end of the building should not be put in place until all panels are set After the arches are in place set the longest end-wall panel in the form plumb and clamp it in place Work from the longest panel outward and be careful to maintain plumb

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 23: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

When all of the building panels are welded to the attaching angle at 12 inches on center you are ready to place the concrete (Figure 17-18) When you are placing the concrete remember that it is extremely important that it be well vibrated but not over-vibrated to the point of aggregate separation This action will help eliminate voids underneath the embedded items As the concrete begins to set slope the top exterior portion of the concrete cap about 5 inches to allow water to drain away from the building (Figure 17-19) The elevation and type of the interior floor are not relevant as long as the finish of the interior floor is not higher than the top of the concrete cap

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 24: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

The K-span building system is similar to other types of pre-engineered or prefabricated buildings in that windows doors and roll-up doors can be installed only when erection is completed When insulation is required you can install (using clips as shown in Figure 17-20) insulation boards (usually 4 by 8 feet) of any semi-rigid material that can be bent to match the radius of the building

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 25: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

When the integrity of the end-wall panels is continuous from ground to roofline the end walls become self-supporting The installation of windows (Figure 17-21) and aluminum doors (Figure 17-22) presents no problem because the integrity of the wall system is not interrupted The installation of the overhead door (Figure 17-23) does present a problem in that it does interrupt the integrity of the wall system This situation is quickly overcome by the easily installed and adjustable (in height and width) doorframe package that supports both the door and end wall This doorframe package is offered by the manufacturer Figure 17-24 shows the fundamental steps in constructing a K-span from start to finish

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 30: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

220 ABM 240 System There is another type of K-span building actually referred to as a Super Span by the manufacturer the ABM 240 Even though it can use heavier coil stock and is a larger version the construction of the ABM 240 is the same as that for the ABM 120 (K- span) Figure 17-25 shows the differences between the two Keep in mind that the information provided in this section on the K- span building is basic During the actual construction of this building you must consult the manufacturerrsquos complete set of manuals

300 STEEL TOWERS Towers are framework structures designed to provide vertical support They may be used to support another structure such as a bridge or a piece of equipment such as a communication antenna or to serve as a lookout post or weapons mount Since the prime purpose of a tower is to provide vertical support for a load applied at the top the compression members providing this support are the only ones that require high-structural strength The rest of the structure is designed to stiffen the vertical members and to prevent bending under load Primarily the bracing members are designed to take loads in tension and are based on a series of diagonals Airfield observation towers harbor shipping control towers and radio towers are all erected by Steelworkers Like PEBs these towers are manufactured and packaged according to military specifications and shipped with all parts plans and specifications

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 31: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

The framework of the tower is made up of fabricated structural shapes that are bolted together Anchor angles with base plates are furnished for setting in the concrete foundation (Figure 17-26) In most cases the foundation will be built by the Builders The manufacturer also furnishes square head bolts lock washers and nuts Spud wrenches and drift pins are supplied for each size of bolt Field bolts and shipping lists are prepared and packaged with each shipment of a tower The tower members are bundled in the most compact manner possible to keep shipping space to a minimum with erection identification marks and stock list numbers painted on all of the pieces All the nuts bolts and washers are boxed and identified by painted marks When you receive a tower shipment you must inventory all the parts and packages Check them against the shipping list to be sure that no boxes or bundles have been lost stolen misplaced or damaged in shipment When all are accounted for sort the materials The drawings tell you what is needed for each section It is smart planning to lay out all of the materials for each section from the foundation to the top before any erection is started this will save a lot of time later

310 Assembly and Erection of Sections Assemble the first section of the tower on the ground alongside the foundation Start by assembling the two-column legs on one side of the tower and bolting them loosely with one bolt each to two foundation stubs (anchor angle irons) these will act as pivot points Next loosely join the angle and the cross braces and then lift the entire side You can use a crane or gin pole to rotate it into a vertical position or if necessary lift it by hand Two people can start by lifting the far end and walking it up while two others with hand lines can complete the upward journey As the column legs fall into position use drift pins or spud wrenches to line up the holes with the holes in the embedded anchor angle irons Then insert the bolts place lock washers under each nut and tighten them use spud wrenches for this job When one side is standing in the upright position repeat the process for the opposite legs Finally connect the cross braces on the open sides and add the cross braces on the inside When the whole first section or bay is in place tighten the bolts Figure 17-27 shows the correct connection of diagonal and center horizontal members notice the alternate connections of the diagonal members at all points

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Use a snatch block and line to lift each piece for the next section Do not tighten the bolts until the entire section is in place Then start lifting the pieces for the next section shifting the snatch block as necessary When the whole section is in place tighten the bolts Repeat this process until the whole framework of the tower is erected Bolts should be hoisted by hand lines in buckets or leather-bottom bolt bags Figure 17-28 shows a partially completed tower Assemble the ladder for the tower on the ground raise the sections by hand as the tower is erected and bolt them in place

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

4543 Concrete Anchor Poured-in-place concrete anchors are normally used for high stress applications and where multiple guys are attached to a single anchorage

Summary This chapter discussed the assembly and disassembly of pre-engineered and K-span buildings It also discussed steel towers and antennas and presented information on how to secure them with different types of guys and anchors Falls and falling objects are the leading cause of injuries in the construction industry Working with PEBs K-spans and towers always includes working with elevated heights Use your situational awareness remember to follow the prescribed safety precautions and use your common sense donrsquot get under a hoisting load

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

The wooden cabin section shown in Figure 17-29 was constructed and raised in place by the Builders but Steelworkers will be called upon to assemble rails and platforms After the tower is complete one or two people must go over all of the nuts to confirm the following

1 Washers are inserted under each nut

2 Nuts are tightened to specs

3 Bolts are center punched to lock them in place

You can repeat this after a few weeks as a final check Refer again to Figure 17-29 which shows the top of a completed tower with control room and guys in place

320 Dismantling a Tower Like PEBs you can take steel towers down when no longer needed and re-erect them at a new location As the first step remove the electrical conduit for the aircraft red warning light atop the tower the cabin the platform and any other accessories then the guy lines Next set up your rigging gear so that one leg of the section (preferably the leg that the ladder is connected to) will serve as the gin pole Proceed to attach a shackle to the top vacant hole in the gusset plate and have a snatch block in the shackle Open the snatch block and insert the fiber line to be used as a hoist line Tie a bowline in the end of the line to keep it from unintentionally slipping through the block Take the line to be used as the tag line and secure one end to the bowline Now secure a snatch block to the base of the tower and run the hoist line from the top snatch block through this block to your source of power Be sure the snatch block at the base of the tower is located in a straight line to a source of power The source of power can be a dump truck a weapon carrier or some other vehicle NOTE When using a vehicle as a source of power you must keep it back far enough so as it comes forward it does not arrive at the base of the tower before the load is on the ground The tower is dismantled by sections and the top and second horizontal braces are the first members of the section to be removed Start by tying the hoist line and tag line to the horizontal braces Then signal the vehicle operator to back up and take a slight strain on the hoist line You are now ready to remove the bolts holding the horizontal braces in place After all the bolts are removed lower the horizontal braces to the

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

400 ANTENNA TOWERS Modern communications in different parts of the world between ships shore stations and aircraft including United States aerospace efforts require transmitting and receiving facilities be erected all over the globe Often Steelworkers from battalion detachments receive the tasking to erect them This section will describe some of the common communications antenna towers that are erected and the procedures for erecting them

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

4543 Concrete Anchor Poured-in-place concrete anchors are normally used for high stress applications and where multiple guys are attached to a single anchorage

Summary This chapter discussed the assembly and disassembly of pre-engineered and K-span buildings It also discussed steel towers and antennas and presented information on how to secure them with different types of guys and anchors Falls and falling objects are the leading cause of injuries in the construction industry Working with PEBs K-spans and towers always includes working with elevated heights Use your situational awareness remember to follow the prescribed safety precautions and use your common sense donrsquot get under a hoisting load

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

ground by signaling the power source to come forward Now remove the diagonal braces in the same manner The next step is to remove the legs of the tower section except the leg being used as the gin pole First shinny up the leg to be dismantled and hang a shackle at the top Tie the hoist line to the shackle and then come back down the leg Signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain on the hoist line just enough to take up the slack and remove the gusset plate from one side Remove the remainder of the bolts that hold the leg being removed leaving the two top bolts in place Now take the tag line and secure it with a clove hitch and a half hitch to the bottom of the load Also take a turn with the tag line around the horizontal bracing in the section that will be removed next Then remove the two top bolts as you slack off on the tag line and take up on the hoist line until the leg is hanging straight up and down against the gin pole Release the tag line to the personnel on the ground who will guide the load as it is lowered to the ground Repeat this process with all of the remaining legs until only the ladder and the leg used as a gin pole are left To remove the ladder secure the hoist line to a rung above the center Remove the bolts and then lower the ladder to the ground When you are ready to start dismantling the leg used as the gin pole shinny up it and remove the hoist line from the snatch block Secure the hoist line to the shackle remove the snatch block and hang it in your safety bit then come back down the leg to the spliced connection (Generally at all spliced connections there will be horizontal brace connections that can serve as working platforms) Signal the personnel on the ground to remove the hoist line from the base snatch block then signal the vehicle operator to take up the slack Remove the gusset plate from one side of the splice Remove the remaining bolts in the leg After all the bolts are removed ensure that all personnel are clear of where the load will land Remove the top bolt and release the nut on the other bolt one-quarter turn Signal the vehicle operator to back up slowly As the operator backs up the leg will pivot downward on the bolt and fall against the leg it has been standing upon and which will be used as the gin pole in dismantling the next section Now insert the shackle in the top hole of the gusset plate and hang the snatch block in it Put the hoist line back in both snatch blocks With the hoist line throw a half-hitch below the center of the leg Now secure the tag line Next signal the vehicle operator to take a slight strain to ease the tension off the bolt You can then remove the bolt and lower the leg to the ground This completes the dismantling of an entire section of the tower so you can proceed to the next section Repeat the above procedure with each section until the tower is completely dismantled If the tower will be put up again rather than scrapped assign a crew to wire brush each member of the tower to remove all rust loose paint and the like After the wire brush cleaning remark each member and store the tower in an orderly manner

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

4543 Concrete Anchor Poured-in-place concrete anchors are normally used for high stress applications and where multiple guys are attached to a single anchorage

Summary This chapter discussed the assembly and disassembly of pre-engineered and K-span buildings It also discussed steel towers and antennas and presented information on how to secure them with different types of guys and anchors Falls and falling objects are the leading cause of injuries in the construction industry Working with PEBs K-spans and towers always includes working with elevated heights Use your situational awareness remember to follow the prescribed safety precautions and use your common sense donrsquot get under a hoisting load

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

410 Guyed Towers The most commonly used guyed towers are fabricated from steel in straight sections 10 to 20 feet long These constant dimensional sections are erected one above the other to form the desired height Structural stability for this type of tower is provided by attaching guy wires from the tower to ground anchors Base supports for guyed towers vary according to the type of tower to be installed Three commonly used base supports are the following

1 Tapered tower base mdash concentrates the load from multiple tower legs to a small area on the foundation

2 Pivoted tower base mdash used primarily on lightweight structures for ease of tower

erection

3 Composite base mdash generally used with heavier towers because it affords much greater supporting strength than the other two types

All three are shown in Figure 17-30 Sections for lightweight towers are usually assembled before delivery to expedite final tower assembly whereas heavier weight towers must be assembled completely in the field Tower bracing should include diagonal bracing and horizontal struts in the plane of each tower face for the full tower height

Figure 17-30 mdash Base support for guyed towers NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-35

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

420 Freestanding Towers Freestanding or self-supporting steel antenna towers are characterized by heavier construction than guyed towers and by a shape that tapers in toward the top from a wide base Freestanding towers exert much greater weight-bearing pressure on foundations than most guyed towers Consequently deeper foundations are required (because of the greater size weight and spread of tower legs) to provide sufficient resistance to the load Each leg of a freestanding tower must be supported by an individual foundation Figure 17-31 shows a typical individual foundation for a freestanding tower and Figure 17-32 shows a foundation plan for a triangular steel freestanding tower Bracing and material specifications for these towers are the same as for guyed towers

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-35 mdash Erection plan for a pivoted tower

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 37: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

430 Tower Assembly For tower assembly and erection advance planning is absolutely essential to complete the project safely and correctly Before commencing study both the installation plan and the manufacturerrsquos instructions to gain a complete understanding of the tower assembly and the phased erection methods to be used Observe the following general procedures and practices for assembly and erection of towers

1 Assemble the tower sections on well leveled supports to avoid building in twists or other deviations Note Any deviations in one section will be magnified by the number of sections in the complete assembly

2 Check all of the surface areas for proper preservation Cover all the holes and

dents in galvanized materials with zinc chromate or another acceptable preservative to prevent deterioration

3 When high-strength bolts are used in a tower assembly place a hardened steel

washer under the nut or bolt head whichever is to be turned Exercise care that you do not exceed the maximum torque limit of the bolt Maximum torque values of several different sizes and types of bolts commonly used in antenna towers are listed in Table 17-2

Figure 17-32 mdash Base support for guyed towers

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-37

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-35 mdash Erection plan for a pivoted tower

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 38: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

440 Erection of Guyed Towers The following paragraphs present methods that have been successfully used to erect guyed towers The most practical method for any particular tower will be determined by the size weight and construction characteristics of the tower and by the hoisting equipment

441 Davit Method Lightweight guyed towers are frequently erected with a davit hoist anchored to the previously erected section which then provides a pivoting hoisting arm The davit arm is swung away from the tower in hoisting the added section and swung centrally over the tower in depositing the section before bolting up the splice plates Figure 17-33 shows a ground-assembled unit being hoisted for connection to a previously erected tower section A snatch block secured to the tower base transmits the hoisting line to a source of power or hand winch A tag line secured to the base of section being hoisted avoids possible contact with the erected portion of the tower

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-35 mdash Erection plan for a pivoted tower

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 39: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

442 Gin Pole Method Light triangular guyed towers furnished with a pivoted base may be completely assembled on the ground and then raised to a vertical position with the aid of a gin pole Figure 17-34 shows the lower section of a tower that has an attached pivoted base in a horizontal position preparatory to hoisting The thrust sling shown counteracts the thrust on the base foundation from hoisting operations Rigging operations and location of personnel essential to the raising of a pivoted base tower are detailed in Figures 17-35 and 17-36 Light towers in lengths of approximately 80 feet may be raised with a single attachment of the winch line However longer towers frequently are too flexible for a single attachment and in the case of Figure 17-36 a hoisting sling furnished with a snatch block allows for two points of attachment

A gin pole with a top sheave to take the winch line is mounted close to the concrete tower base Permanent guys attached to the tower at three elevations are handled by personnel during hoisting operations (Figure 17-35) Temporary rope guys provided with a snatch block anchored to deadmen furnish the necessary lateral stability As the mast

Figure 17-34 mdash Pivoted tower-hoisting preparation

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-39

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

4543 Concrete Anchor Poured-in-place concrete anchors are normally used for high stress applications and where multiple guys are attached to a single anchorage

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 40: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

approaches a vertical position the permanent guys are fastened to the guy anchors which were installed before erection

443 Hand Assembly Erection without a davit or gin pole may be accomplished by assembling the individual members piece by piece As the assembler you climb inside the tower and work with the lower half of your body inside the previously assembled construction You then build the web of the tower section around you as you progress upward As each member is bolted in place you tighten all of the connections immediately so you are never standing on or being supported by any loose member

450 Guying Temporary guying of steel towers is always necessary where more than one tower section is erected Under no circumstances should the tower be advanced more than two sections without guying and always install permanent guys before removing temporary guys

451 Temporary Guying Several materials including stranded wire wire rope and fiber line are acceptable for temporary guying but new manila line is the most suitable because of its strength and ease of handling The size of the guyed material you need will be determined by the height and weight of the structure to be guyed and by weather conditions at the installation site Secure the temporary guys to the permanent guy anchors to temporary type anchors or to any nearby structure that provides the required supporting strength Again leave the temporary guys in place until the structure is permanently guyed and plumbed

Figure 17-36 mdash Erection of a pivoted guyed tower

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-40

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

4543 Concrete Anchor Poured-in-place concrete anchors are normally used for high stress applications and where multiple guys are attached to a single anchorage

Summary This chapter discussed the assembly and disassembly of pre-engineered and K-span buildings It also discussed steel towers and antennas and presented information on how to secure them with different types of guys and anchors Falls and falling objects are the leading cause of injuries in the construction industry Working with PEBs K-spans and towers always includes working with elevated heights Use your situational awareness remember to follow the prescribed safety precautions and use your common sense donrsquot get under a hoisting load

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 41: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

452 Permanent Guying Antenna structures are permanently guyed to pre-positioned anchors according to the installation plan with steel cables or fiberglass sections Figure 17-37 shows two methods of guying triangular steel towers Guys A B and C are secured to a single anchor while guys D E and F are secured to individual anchors Both arrangements are satisfactory however the anchor that terminates guys A B and C must be capable of withstanding much greater stresses than the individual guy anchor arrangement Triangular tower guys are arranged so that three guys are spaced 120 degrees apart at each level of guying (Figure 17-37) Square towers require four guys spaced 90 degrees apart at each guying level The following general elevation requirements apply to guy attachments for towers

Figure 17-37 mdash Tower guying arrangements

NAVEDTRA 14250A 17-41

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

4543 Concrete Anchor Poured-in-place concrete anchors are normally used for high stress applications and where multiple guys are attached to a single anchorage

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 42: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

4521 Single-Guy Layer The cable attachments are placed in position at approximately two thirds of the tower height

4522 Two-Guy Layers For towers with two-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 30 and 80 percent of the tower height

4523 Three-Guy Layers For towers with three-guy layers cable attachments are placed in positions at approximately 25 55 and 85 percent of the tower height

453 Guy Tension Setting guy tension and plumbing a tower are done at the same time and only when wind forces are light Guy tension adjustment and tower plumbing are done as follows

4531 Initial Tension The tension on all of the guys is adjusted after the tower is in a stable vertical position Adjust all of the guys gradually to the approximate tensions specified in the antenna installation details If tensions are not specified adjust guy tension to 10 percent of the breaking strength of the strand of the guy

4532 Final Tension In one procedure used for final tensioning of tower guys the final tension is measured with a dynamometer (Figure 17-38)

NOTE Carpenter stoppers or cable grips of the proper skin designed for the lay of the wire must be used in the tensioning operation Do not use any cable grip assembly that grips the wire by biting into the cable with gripping teeth that could penetrate and damage the protective coating of guy cables In Step A of Figure 17-38 the Coffing hoist is shown in series with a dynamometer to measure the tension A turnbuckle is shown in position to receive the guy tail In Step B an additional cable grip and hoist or tackle are attached above the cable grip shown in Step A The lower end of this tackle is provided with a second cable grip attached to the guy tail previously threaded through the turnbuckle The second Coffing hoist is operated until sufficient tension is applied to cause the reading on the series dynamometer to fall off Step C shows the guy in final position secured in place with clamps With the tower properly plumbed to a vertical position only one guy at a given level need be tested with the dynamometer On some installations other procedures for tensioning guys may be necessary because of the type of guys and hardware supplied with the antenna For example preformed wire helical guy grips are sometimes used for attaching guy wires to the adjusting turnbuckles In such cases the techniques used for the guy assembly the connection of the guy wire to the anchor and the tension adjustments must be determined from the detailed installation plan or the appropriate antenna technical manual

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

4543 Concrete Anchor Poured-in-place concrete anchors are normally used for high stress applications and where multiple guys are attached to a single anchorage

Summary This chapter discussed the assembly and disassembly of pre-engineered and K-span buildings It also discussed steel towers and antennas and presented information on how to secure them with different types of guys and anchors Falls and falling objects are the leading cause of injuries in the construction industry Working with PEBs K-spans and towers always includes working with elevated heights Use your situational awareness remember to follow the prescribed safety precautions and use your common sense donrsquot get under a hoisting load

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Page 44: Chapter 17 Pre-Engineered Structures - NAVY BMRnavybmr.com/study material/14250a/14250A_ch17.pdfcovers the process involved with the erection of such buildings, as well as k-spans

454 Guy Anchors Antenna design and installation plans specify the required anchor type location and hole depth Anchor shafts or rods must project above the grade sufficiently to keep all the connecting guy wire attachments free of vegetation and standing water Shafts and connecting attachments should be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a petroleum preservative to retard the effects of weather

4541 Screw Anchor The screw anchor shown in Figure 17-39 may be used to anchor guys for lightweight towers or for temporary guying This anchor is installed by screwing it into the ground in line with the direction the guy will take

4542 Expansion Anchor The expansion anchor shown in Figure 17-40 is suitable for practically all guying applications where the soil is firm This anchor is placed with its expanding plates in the closed position in an auger-drilled inclined hole not less than 3 feet deep The plates are expanded into the firm undisturbed sides of the hole by striking the expanding bar at Point B with a hammer and thereby forcing the sliding collar downward the distance D shown in Figure 17-40 The anchor installation is completed by backfilling the hole with thoroughly tamped backfill

4543 Concrete Anchor Poured-in-place concrete anchors are normally used for high stress applications and where multiple guys are attached to a single anchorage

Summary This chapter discussed the assembly and disassembly of pre-engineered and K-span buildings It also discussed steel towers and antennas and presented information on how to secure them with different types of guys and anchors Falls and falling objects are the leading cause of injuries in the construction industry Working with PEBs K-spans and towers always includes working with elevated heights Use your situational awareness remember to follow the prescribed safety precautions and use your common sense donrsquot get under a hoisting load

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so

Trade Terms Introduced in This Chapter Guy lines A guy-wire or guy rope is a tensioned cable designed to

add stability to structures (frequently ship masts radio masts wind turbines and tents) One end of the cable is attached to the structure and the other is anchored to the ground at a distance from the structures base They are often configured radially (equally spaced about the structure) in trios quads (pairs of pairs) or other sets This allows the tension of each guy-wire to offset the others

Shinny American colloquialism--to climb a rope pole etc from the use of shins and ankles to do so
