CHECKPOLE v6.1.0 is now live and can be downloaded here. New features and enhancements include:
- AS/NZS 1170: Improvements to Terrain Category detection and Terrain/Height Multiplier (Mz,cat) calculation.
- AS/NZS 1170: Improvements to Topographic Multiplier (Mt) calculation including criteria for shielding provided by significant upwind features.
- TIA-222-G/TIA-222-H: Improvements to Basic Wind Speed (V) detection.
- TIA-222-G/TIA-222-H: Improvements to Exposure Category detection and Velocity Pressure Coefficient (Kz) calculation.
- TIA-222-G/TIA-222-H: Improvements to Topographic Factor (Kzt) calculation.
- TIA-222-G/TIA-222-H: Improvements to shaft drag calculations.
- TIA-222-G/TIA-222-H: Improvements to connection design calculations.
- Linear Loads now only contribute to monopole loading for a specific wind direction if TIA-222-H Table 2-8a criteria is met.
- Point Loads now visualised in the Analysis tab.
- Results can be toggled on/off in Analysis tab.
- Introduction of AASHTO LRFD LTS-1 fatigue design.
