<p><strong>Breakpoint Technology</strong> - Breakpoint Technology refers to the engineering design of a monopole wherein a specified point on the monopole is designed to have stresses concentrated so that the point is at least 5% more susceptible to failure than any other point along the monopole. This is to ensure that in the event of a structural failure of the monopole, the failure will occur at the breakpoint rather than at the base plate, anchor bolts, or any other point on the monopole.</p>
This section explains the concept of Breakpoint Technology in the context of monopole design.
