E.4 Analysis after a guy rupture

(1) In addition to the procedures set out in E.2 or E.3 above, immediately after the rupture of a guy the mast should be able to withstand wind loads for a short period until temporary guying can be arranged.

(2) If no other requirements are given, the mast without the ruptured guy should be able to withstand a reduced wind load, acting as a static load, and without patch wind loading. The reduced wind loading should be taken as 50% of the characteristic mean wind loading, acting in the most adverse wind direction.

transverse to the frame determined from table G.2, should be multiplied by the factor k ₁ given in table G.3 depending on the ratio of the tension load, N _t, to the compression load N _c.
