General Order 95
Section IV
Strength Requirements for All Classes of Lines
47.2 Use of Guys and Braces
The longitudinal strength requirements for poles, towers and
other supporting structures shall be met either by the structure alone or
with the aid of guys or braces. Deflection shall be limited by guys or braces
where such structures alone, although providing the strength and safety factors
required, would deflect sufficiently under the prescribed loadings to reduce
clearances below the required values.
