Light Pole Foundation Depth

Poles foundations are commonly used for sign flagpole and light pole foundations and pole framed buildings.

Light pole foundation depth.

First and foremost a light pole is an engineered structure sufficiently strong to withstand the physical forces of the application capable of providing a long relatively maintenance free service life and pleasing in appearance. 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. Two options are provided as indicated below. Find lateral pressure for given depth.

High mast light pole foundation types. This criteria applies to vertical. Determine the size of the light pole base by calculating its area in square inches. When this option is selected a pole footing embedment depth input field will appear as shown below.

Bases of light poles are circular in shape. Light poles are structures designed to support single or multiple luminaire configurations. These are described below. 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.

Pole foundation design with spreadsheet. In this mode the module will calculate the lateral earth pressures caused by the specified pole size embedment depth and applied loads. This can be done even if the base of the light pole is inaccessible because the pole is upright.
