Lightening rod is copper rod directly welded to the top of the tower 

Which of these statements are correct

 All main bracings would have more than one bolt on each end

Two diagonal members of one panel would have at least one bolt interconnecting them

Redundants have only one bolt on both ends

The two angles of the access ladder are called stringers and the rods welded to them

are called rungs

Gusset plates are the heaviest part in a tower 

Torsional bracings are members connected to the plan bracings to the leg

Color bands in any tower should be always odd number 

 Aviation lamp is fixed in the middle of the tower 

 All of the above

Cable track is the part that is used for clamping cables from the tower to the shelter 

Rib plates

 All of the above

Which of the shapes are found for a foundation bolt

Stright rod with a anchor washer welded in the bottom

Rod bent in the shape of L

Rod bent in the shape of J

The nut should face the center of the tower and to the ground.

If the holes do not match, enlarging the holes using gas is correct method

Piece meal method of erection is using four derricks and erecting member by member.

Using a leg angle in place of derrick is wrong.

If the holes do not match, use hammer to drive the bolts into the position

DE spanner is double end spanner.

Ring spanner holds the nut six cornors

The washer used below the foundation bolt, main nut is bearing washer.

 A nut is to be contact with a plain washer 

Where galvanizing has got damaged in erection , the same should be repaired using

zinc rich paint

Tigthening of bolts should be done from top to bottom

Using a M12 bolt in place of M16 would reduce the strength by almost half 

 A plan bracing can be viewed from the top or bottom of the tower 

 All the gusset plates for torsional bracing are bent

Redundants have no forces acting on them

 A flange plate is a thick plate formed into a circular or rectangular shape

Cable trays are fixed to the foundation

The number of threds of bolt to be exposed after tightening the nut two

Using double sheave pulley would reduce the load in the rope by more than half of 

weight of part being lifted.

spud spanner is similar to a DE spanner and used on the two edges of nut

socket spanner holds all the six sides of a nut

the spring waser is to be fixed between the bolt head and the tower part for best results

a nut and check nuts are same

bolt heads should be facing outside of the tower 

Cable tracks are also called wave guide

The access ladder has batten plates welded to two stringers

Sagety cage consists of safety cage rings connected together with two safety cage

runners

The number of aviation lamps should be one whatever is the height of the tower 

The degree of protection for the antennae by the franklin rod is 30o

the tool to be used for checking the tightening is called torque wrench

the torque requied for a M16 - 5.6 grade is same as M16 - 6.8 grade

the torque required for a bolt of different length would be different even if the grade and

dia are same

if plugging of holes is noticed near the bolt hole to be fixed, using the part is unsafe

if diganonal bracings are reversed (upside down), the bolts in the inter-connecting place

in middle can not be fixed

a gin pole is also called derrick

derrck can have less than three guy wires

where galvanizing has got damaged in erection, the same should be repaired using Aluminium paint
