Hi all, I'm looking for a field expedient (read "not requiring fancy tension meters and special equipment") to evaluate whether guy wires on towers are undertensioned.
I'm currently deploying a wireless project in Northern Uganda on locally fabricated towers. The engineer who built the towers is very good, and was able to provide structural calculations for each tower. He does very nice work, and by and large I'm very happy with the product. Someone has mentioned a method to me in the past involving plucking guy wires and watching the pulse rate....but I didn't get any numbers on what's good and what's bad. Any help greatly appreciated!
