In this mode the module will calculate the lateral earth pressures caused by the specified pole size embedment depth and applied loads.
Light pole foundation depth.
As described above for general and good soil conditions where there are no site specific restrictions on foundation size or depth there are three main types of standard foundations commonly used for high mast light pole foundations.
Pole foundation design with spreadsheet.
Determine the size of the light pole base by calculating its area in square inches.
This can be done even if the base of the light pole is inaccessible because the pole is upright.
Two options are provided as indicated below.
These are described below.
High mast light pole foundation types.
Finding the circumference or distance around the base allows determination of the radius and.
This criteria applies to vertical.
Pole foundation design with spreadsheet.
Bases of light poles are circular in shape.
When this option is selected a pole footing embedment depth input field will appear as shown below.
A design criteria for pole foundations is indicated in section 1804 and paragraph 1805 7 of the 2006 international building code.
This course highlights the requirements for determining the embedment depths required and foundation pressures for pole foundations for signs flagpoles light poles and pole framed buildings in accordance with section 1804 and paragraph 1805 7 of the 2006 international building code.
Poles foundations are commonly used for sign flagpole and light pole foundations and pole framed buildings.
