S37-01 (R2011)
1. Scope
1.1
This Standard applies to structural antennas, towers, antenna-supporting
structures, and roof- and wall-mounted structures, including their components,
such as guys and foundations. It covers the structural design, fabrication, and
erection of new structures, and the modification of existing structures.
1.2
This Standard is not intended to apply to
(a) attachment antennas and arrays, or assemblies of such antennas; or
(b) towers that support attachment antennas, extending less than 15 m above
grade, including the height of any structure on which they are mounted.
1.3
This Standard covers the requirements for most structural antennas, antenna
towers, and antenna-supporting structures, but it is recognized that structures
that are unusual with regard to their height or shape, or with regard to the
shape and size of individual members, or that are located on sites having
unusual topographical, geological, or climatic conditions may not be adequately
covered. In such cases, appropriate engineering principles providing a level of
reliability at least equivalent to that provided by this Standard should be
applied.
1.4
This Standard does not contain mandatory requirements that take into account
the effects of earthquakes or the dynamic effects of wind.
1.5
A rational design based on theory, analysis, and engineering practice,
acceptable to the owner and regulatory authority, may be used in lieu of the
design procedures or materials described in this Standard. In such cases, the
design should be prepared by an engineer qualified in the specific method and
knowledgeable about the materials to be used, and should provide a level of
safety and performance that is not less than that implicit in this Standard.
1.6
Responsibility for observing all applicable local, provincial, and federal
regulations is not relieved by compliance with this Standard.
