ALLOWABLE REDUCED CIRCUMFERENCE SAFETY FACTORS

No single pole to have SF less than 2.65.

No H-structure to have SF less than 2.65 and no pole to have SF less than 2.

For H-structures, add the SF for each pole together and divide by 2 to obtain the structure SF.

For tension-type structures (dead ends), no pole to have SF less than 2.65.
