History of the Tower Standard

• 2018 – TIA-222-H The latest edition of the 222 Standard, Revision H, has been updated to reflect the current state of knowledge and to align structural design approaches with the latest revisions of other referenced standards, mainly ASCE 7-16 (wind, ice and seismic loads) and strength derivations from AISC 360-16 and ACI 318-14. Specific advancements in antenna supporting mount design / analysis have also been included, along with specific procedures and documentation requirements for the condition assessment and analysis of existing structures. Revision H of the Standard is adopted and referenced in the 2018 International Building Code.
• 2006 – TIA-222-G With the standard's most sweeping changes, Revision G has been adopted by some states and local jurisdictions. The analysis of tower structures is now consistent with other structures. Design philosophy changed to limit states design from allowable stress design. With recognition from the International Building Code, most states and municipalities will eventually adopt the revision.
• 1996 – TIA/EIA 222-F This standard was used during the country's greatest build out of towers and is currently the most adopted standard in the nation. Expanded the scope of the previous version to include the effects of ice loading. Basically, it provided two methods for analysis of ice.
• 1991 – TIA/EIA 222-E The first iteration of the code to be defined by the TIA and Electronics Industries Association (EIA).
• 1987 – EIA 222-D Wind pressures are replaced by basic wind speeds (mph). A new wind velocity map is introduced. The value for basic wind speed increased as a function of tower height above 33 feet AGL.
• 1976 – EIA RS-222-C
• 1972 – EIA RS-222-B
• 1966 – EIA RS-222-A
• 1959 — EIA RS-222 (Revision of TR-116 and RS-194) - The country's first standard for antenna supporting structures and antennas is published. The 11-page standard delineates the nation into three wind uniform pressure zones: A, B and C. The wind loading was considered over the full length of the structure and was measured in pounds per square foot (PSF). The standard explained that "Ice coatings are not specifically stated as icing seldom occurs simultaneously with maximum wind loading."
