(Structural)19Sep0211:45In designing flag poles for the post and the foundation,
one must consider wind forces on the pole as well as wind forces on the flag. If
the flag dimensionis known, we must consider a certain percentage of the flag area
to catch wind drag force.I am not aware of a specific code section (in UBC) that
requires a specific percentage but am used to arbitrarily assigning say 25% to 33%
of the flagarea. (Local jurisdictions and the state of California seems to prefer
the 33%)I would like to know what other engineers have experienced related to this
topic and if there are any specific references that talks about wind drag on
flagsand banners and such, i'd most appreciate it.

(Structural)19Sep0213:01Thank you Taro. I knew of such publications but do not
have a copy. Would you share with me on what they recommend to use for wind drag?
Thanksagain for your info.

(Structural)19Sep0214:26There is an old thread that gives the formulas for flags.
Do a search on "Drag Forces on Flags." It's thread 507-1001.

(Civil/Environmental)19Sep0217:35Why not go to Elder Flag Co. website and ask the
question. They must have solved this hundreds of times in the course of selling
their flags and poles. Nosense in reinventing the wheel.
