3. Analysis and Design
Anchor bolts are designed for the wind load moment and shear forces at the base plate level.
Wind load calculation : ( As per ASCE7-05, for exposure D)
basic wind speed V = 44.4 m/s ( max considered)
wind load kN/m factors Kz = 1.16 upto 9.1 m (30') ht & exposure D .. Table 6-30.37 Kzt = 1 I = 0.87 importance factor , category I .. Table 6-1 8m
dynamic pressure q = 0.613 Kz.Kzt. V2.I N/m²
= 0.613 x 1.16 x 1.0 x 44.42 x 0.87 = 1219 N/m² = 1.22 kN/m² wind load factor Cf= 1.2 0.82 wind load = Cf.q. projected area section of pole varies from approximately 555 mm to 250 mm at top. hence wind load varies from; 1.2x1.22x0.25 = 0.37 kN/m at top 1.2x1.22x0.555 = 0.82 kN/m at bottom
moment at base ,M = WL²/2 = (0.82+0.37)/2 x 8.0² /2 = 20 kNm
shear at base , H = WL = (0.82+0.37)/2 x 8.0 = 5 kN
