Inputs

Foundation Post
Post length = 0.065 m 0.213265 ft
Post Width = 0.065 m 0.213265 ft
Diagonal = 0.09192388155425 m 0.301602 ft
Post depth = 0.8 m 2.6248 ft

Fence Characteristics
Chain Link Specs = For a #9 gauge, 2-1/4” mesh fabric From Table 9
Fence Post = Group 1A, 2 3/8" dia
= 2.56 inch
Height of fence = 1.825 m
5.99 ft

Geotech Parametres
SBC = 152.98 kPa
3195.75 psf
Angle of internal friction = 16 degrees
Density = 16 kN/m3

Wind Parameters
Basic wind speed = 47 m/s
= 105.139 mph
Wind Direction Normal to fence
Exposure Category = C
Maximum post spacing S’ = S X Cf1 x Cf2 x Cf3
where,
S = Spacing as per Table 2 based upon the line post size and height desired
Cf1 = Coefficients that account for the type, size and mesh of the wire fabric
Cf2 = Wind exposure category coefficient Table 10
Cf3 = Icing effects probability coefficient Table 11
Hence,
S = 2.21 (Group 1A, 2 3/8" dia pipe of 5.98 feet height)
Cf1 = 9.86 ( For a 3.0mm dia, 2-1/4” mesh fabric)
Cf2 = 0.67
Cf3 = 1
S' = 14.600 feet
= 4.450 m
Provided Spacing = 3.000 m Safe
9.843 feet
Net Area of fence A = 58.938 ft2

Wind pressure is design wind pressure (q)


Wind Pressure (q ) = (0.00256)Kz x Kzt x Kd x G x Cf x V2
Exposure factor (Kz ) = 0.85

TOPOGRAPHIC FACTOR,
PRESUMED = 1 FOR NO = 1 As per clause 26.8.2 of ASCE7-10, Chapter 26)
TOPOGRAPHIC EFFECTS (Kzt )

DIRECTIONALITY FACTOR (Kd ) = 0.85 Table 26.6-1 of ASCE7-19, Chapter 26


GUST FACTOR ( G ) = 0.85 As per clause 26.9.1 of ASCE7-19, Chapter 26)
FORCE COEFFICIENT ( Cf ) = 1.3
V = 105.139 mph
q = 22.59 psf
P = Resultant concenterated wind force
= (1/Cf1) x net area of fence x wind pressure
P = 135.05 lbs
= 0.6 kN
Moment due to Lateral load = Wl2/2
= 1.00 kN-m
Embedment Depth

A= 0.328 ft
h= 0.5H+0.05H
3.293 ft
D= 2.620 ft
d= 1.261 ft
0.384 m
Provided depth = 0.800 m Safe
