42. Remaining Problems

43. Remaining Problems
Instability problem during analysis
Difficulty to obtain wind time history data
Computer limitation
Wind load uncertainty

44. Conclusion

45. Conclusion Structure is sensitive to lifting point
Hand calculation is not able to account for rotational deformation
Nonlinear analysis provides conservative results
Nonlinear dynamic analysis provides more realistic results
30 MPH is a better criteria for this particular lifting procedure
