Equation Development for Calculating Loads Acting under the Antenna Tubular Mast Supports of Cellular Communication Equipment

A study presents the search for the relationship between the composition of the antenna equipment of the base cellular station, taking into account the height of its suspension and the load on the roof under the supports of the designed structures of antenna tubular masts mounted on buildingroofs. New telecommunications standards aimed at improving quality and speed of wireless communications and the Internet involve thickening the existing network and increasing the number of base cellular stations. In cities with high population density and dense buildings, antenna tubular masts on buildingroofs are designed to accommodate antenna equipment. The location selection for structure mounting is carried out in the course of surveys involving the mobile operator, the construction organization and the landlordcooperation. The design organization performs a verification calculation of the load capacitydue to the need of roofload-bearing building structure check for the possibility tomount tubular masts, in each specific case. In case of a negative conclusion, repeated surveys and approval of the newly selected position are required. The equation derived during the study is proposed, using the initial data contained in the design specification, visual inspection and design documentation for the building, allows determination of load magnitudes under the support of the designed structure and evaluation the possibility of tubular mast mounting before performing calculations by means of software complexes. To develop the equation to determine the relation between payload factors acting on antenna equipment and the roof loads of a building under a loaded tubular mast support, the method of correlation and regression analysis was used. The results of the study will improve the surveyefficiency, which will minimize the risks of inconsistencies and reduce the time spent on design.
