5.4. Anchor Bolts


When anchor bolts are specified, the design of anchor bolts shall be in accordance with the
latest edition of ASCE 48, assuming a concrete strength (f′c) of 3500 psi at 28 days.
The top 18″ (457 mm) of each anchor bolt shall be galvanized. Anchor bolts shall be threaded at
the top end at a distance equal to the base plate thickness plus the thickness of two anchor bolt
nuts, plus 2½″ (63.5 mm). Each anchor bolt shall include two galvanized heavy hex nuts.
Two nuts shall be used, one for leveling and one for tightening. The tightening nut may be field
tack-welded to the base plate for a short length following the final installation to prevent theft of
the nuts from the structure. The manufacturer shall design the base plate in such a way that
this subsequent weld shall not void any warranties provided by the manufacturer.
Welding on anchor bolts will only be allowed in the bottom 12″ (305 mm). Only one length of
anchor bolt shall be used on each cage. Splicing of anchor bolts shall not be allowed. Anchor
bolts/clusters shall be plainly marked to indicate the structure type, structure number,
orientation, and top of concrete. The distance between anchor bolts shall not be less than six
inches (6″ / 152 mm) measured center-to-center.
Unless otherwise noted in Appendix A, anchor bolts shall be designed to be shipped as a rigid
cage with top and bottom plates and plates at 10' (3.05 m) intervals in between holding the
anchor bolts in place. The anchor bolt threads shall be protected during shipping. The anchor
bolts shall be welded to the holding plate in the bottom of the cage. The welding of anchor bolts
is restricted to only bottom nonstressed areas. The top template shall be designed to be
removable and to support the assembled cage during lifting and setting operations without
detrimental deformations. Bolt clusters shall be designed to be rigid enough to withstand the
normal jolts of shipping, handling, and installation with no permanent deformation of template
and no displacement of bolts from the proper positions within the cluster.
The removable template at the top shall be marked to show the centerline for tangent structures
and the angle bisector for angle structures. There shall be matching marks on the base plate of
the structure so proper alignment can be made.
When so specified in Appendix A, the manufacturer shall provide anchor bolt template
alterations for sonic testing tubes.

5.5. Plate Thickness for Poles and Arms


The minimum plate thickness for all pole components shall be 3/16 inches (4.8 mm).
The W/T ratio shall be limited to a maximum of 34.

5.6. Embedment
Structures that are to be direct embedded shall have bearing plates with a diameter not more
than two inches (2″ / 51 mm) greater than the maximum pole diameter, unless otherwise
specified in Appendix A. Weathering steel and painted structures shall be metalized for the
entire embedment. A protective coating shall be applied from three feet (3' / 0.91 m) above the
groundline to seven feet (7' / 2.1 m) below the groundline, unless otherwise specified in

Appendix A. The manufacturer shall permanently mark groundline with a two inch (2″ / 51 mm)
weld bead or other suitable mark.

5.7. Tapering
Poles shall have a uniform taper throughout their entire length. Variable taper poles shall not be
proposed without prior consent from the company. However, zero tapered sections below
groundline for direct-buried structures are allowed without company consent.
Taper ranges for all specified structures shall be limited as follows:
Unguyed tangents < 20° and all guyed structures: 0.1″ – 0.3″ per foot (8.3 mm – 25 mm per
meter)
Unguyed tangents ≥ 20° and all unguyed deadends: 0.25″ – 0.45″ per foot (21 mm – 38 mm
per meter)

5.8. Deflection Criteria


Pre-cambering of poles shall be required for all poles with a pole top deflection that either
exceeds one (1) percent of the structure height above ground or 12″ (305 mm), under the pre-
camber condition specified in Appendix A. The pre-camber load case will be 60 °F (15.5 °C),
no wind, no ice, no load factor, except in Alberta, Canada and Wyoming where 32 °F (0 °C),
no wind, no ice, no load factor and in Southern Nevada where 80 °F (27 °C), no wind, no load
factor will be used. Structure height for deflection and pre-cambering cases shall be the height
of the structure from the top of the base plate, or designated groundline, to the top of the
structure.
Pre-camber or raking of poles shall be designed to compensate for the deflection of poles under
the specified load case so that the tops of the affected poles will stand vertically plumb above the
center of the pole at its groundline. Poles that do not exceed one (1) percent of the structure
height or 12″ (305 mm) pre-camber criteria shall be raked during construction. The pole
manufacturer shall provide instructions in tabular form as to the proper amount of rake to apply
during the installation of the pole.

5.9. Arms
The arms shall be designed so the end of the arm is at the specified height under a loading of
initial conductor tension, 60 °F / 15.6 °C (32 °F / 0 °C for structures to be delivered to Alberta,
Canada and Wyoming), no wind, and no load factors. Arms shall not deflect vertically more
than 0.83 inches per foot (69 mm per meter), up to a maximum of 12″ (305 mm), at the end of
the arm under heavy ice conditions (without any load factors applied).
Arms shall be upswept or straight, tapered, steel tubular members, of any cross-sectional type
that meet the dimensions shown on Appendix A.
The arms shall be sealed when a painted finish is specified. Galvanized arms shall have drain
holes where appropriate. If weathering steel is used for the arms, attachments and the arm shall
be designed to avoid trapping or holding moisture.

All attachments and crossarms shall be aligned with the base and/or the base plate according to
orientation in Appendix A. Location of these attachments during fabrication shall be determined
after the pole shaft welding is complete. A maximum permissible rotation from Appendix A is
two (2) degrees of arc. Any two arm connections shall not deviate more than two (2) degrees
from each other. The attachment and arm rotation is independent of the pole rotation noted in
" Tolerances" on page 12 These two arcs are not additive.

5.10. Lifting Attachments


Lifting attachments are required. The manufacturer shall supply all instructions for handling,
assembly, and erection of structures and arms.

5.11. Connections
In the design of connections for vangs, brackets, or stiffeners attached to the pole shaft, care
shall be taken to distribute the loads sufficiently to protect the wall of the pole from local
buckling, fatigue, and tear out. Vangs, brackets, and other connection members shall be
designed to prevent tear out, shear failure, and buckling of the members.

5.12. Moisture Intrusion

Weathering and painted steel structures shall be designed to eliminate water and refuse traps
after assembly. Tubular sections shall be sealed from moisture entering the inside of the pole,
except that female slip joint sections shall remain open to allow water to escape after erection.
Factory-drilled pole holes shall be plugged to prevent moisture intrusion during shipping. The
manufacturer shall take care to ensure hole plugs do not fall out during shipment. For field-
drilled poles and factory-drilled poles, the manufacturer shall provide silicone sealant to seal
all through-bolt holes. When assembled, non-drilled poles shall be effectively sealed to
prevent moisture intrusion. Plastic plugs shall be installed in all nuts welded to the structure
and on all tapped holes.

Galvanized poles shall have a drain hole at the bottom. Poles with a painted or metalized
finish shall be sealed at the bottom to prevent moisture from entering the shafts, unless
otherwise specified in Appendix A.

5.13. Vibration
The manufacturer shall evaluate and take the necessary measures to minimize the potential
for vibrations caused by wind-induced vortex shedding of structure members. The
manufacturer shall provide dampers or spoilers as required to eliminate vibrations, or
recommendations for avoidance of vibrations.

5.14. Foundation Rotation


Allowance shall be made in all anchor bolt structures for a foundation rotation of one (1)
degree from vertical. All structures shall be designed to resist without failure all loading applied
to the corresponding deflected shape of the structure.

5.15. Animal Protection


The pole and arm designs shall include solid covers over holes to prevent birds, insects, and
other animals from entering the pole or crossarm. Many pole and arm designs include hole
covers; however, the company cannot anticipate where all holes are needed for galvanizing or
other manufacturing processes. It is the responsibility of the manufacturer to provide animal
covers where necessary. At a minimum, the pole top and arm ends shall have solid covers.
Pole top plates and arm cover plates shall be attached via bolting for galvanized poles. All
covers shall have the same protective coating as the pole applied prior to their attachment to
the pole or arm.

5.16. Anchor Bolt Structures


The manufacturer shall provide standard designs and pricing for each specified anchor bolt
structure. The manufacturer shall also provide cost-sensitive, diameter-limited designs and
pricing for each specified anchor bolt structure that will minimize visual impacts and also
potentially lower overall installed cost, based on the design philosophy described below. The
manufacturer’s bid will be evaluated by the company based on these criteria, including
estimated foundation costs and not based on structure costs alone.

When designing cost-sensitive, diameter-limiting anchor bolt structure(s), the manufacturer


shall also calculate and include the cost of the associated foundation(s) with the price of the
cost-sensitive, diameter-limiting anchor bolt structure(s), using the foundation criteria
described in Appendix A. The final design(s) provided for quotation by the manufacturer shall
be those achieving the lowest overall installed cost, combining the anchor bolt structure
costs and foundation costs.

Unless otherwise noted in Appendix A, all foundation diameters shall be calculated using a
minimum of 18″ (457 mm) diameter larger than the outer ring anchor bolt circle, rounded up to
the nearest six-inch (6″ / 152 mm) increment, for foundation up to six feet (6' / 1.8 m) in
diameter; and shall be calculated using a minimum of 18″ (457 mm) diameter larger than the
outer ring anchor bolt circle, rounded up to the nearest one foot (1' / 0.3 m) increment, for
foundations above six feet (6' / 1.8 m) in diameter.
When so specified in Appendix A, the manufacturer shall provide diameter-limited design and
pricing for each such specified, direct-embedded structure that will minimize visual impacts.

6. Materials
 All materials shall comply with the applicable requirements of ASTM specifications.
 Poles, arms and conductor brackets shall conform with ASTM A36, ASTM A572, ASTM A581,

 Galvanizing: All structures and structural components that are hot-dip galvanized shall meet
all the requirements of ASTM A123 or ASTM A153, except ASTM F3125 bolts shall not be gal-
vanized. Measures shall be taken to prevent warping and distortion according to ASTM A384
and to prevent embrittlement according to ASTM A143. Structures made of ASTM A588 steel
shall not be galvanized due to the high silicon content of the steel. Following galvanizing and
inspection, and if so specified on Appendix A, structure(s) and components shall be given a dull
surface by etching in a weak acid solution, coating with micaceous iron oxide (MIO), or other
company pre-approved method. If galvanizing is performed outside the manufacturer’s plant,
the manufacturer shall be entirely responsible for compliance with the requirements of this spe-
cification. After galvanizing, base plate to tower plate welds shall be ultrasonically tested (UT)
to ensure no toe-cracking has occurred. The manufacturer shall maintain these UT inspection
records as described in " Testing" on page 15 If affected welds are discovered they shall be
removed, repaired and UT tested again by the manufacturer to confirm complete weld pen-
etration. Areas of weld repair or other areas damaged by this process shall be touched up by
the manufacturer with an approved zinc rich coating or other approved spray-on zinc
application.

with the paint manufacturer’s recommendations. Total dry film thickness (primer plus finish
coat) shall be between six (6) – 11 mils (1.5 mm – 2.8 mm). A guarantee against flaking or fad-
ing of the paint for a minimum of five (5) years shall be provided.
 Weathering Steel: Steel shall conform to ASTM A588 or A871. After fabrication, structures
made of weathering steel shall be cleaned of oil, scale, etc., in accordance with the surface pre-
paration specification SSPC/NACE SP 6/NACE 3, to ensure uniform and rapid formation of
the protective oxide layer.
 Metalizing: Structures that are to be metalized shall be sealed to prevent corrosion of interior
surfaces. Poles and arms shall be prepared and coated per the standards and practices ref-
erenced above.
 Below-Grade Coating: When poles are to be directly embedded, after the applicable section
is metalized per " Embedment" on page 6, a 20 mil (.5 mm) (minimum dry film thickness) exter-
ior coating consisting of a duplex, 100% solids, aromatic polyurethane coating that is resistant
to ultraviolet light, or a company-approved equivalent, shall be applied to the embedded pole
section from seven feet (7' / 2.1 m) below the groundline to three feet (3' / 0.9 m) above the
groundline. The surface area to be coated shall be surface-treated per the coating man-
ufacturer’s instructions. The coating shall be applied only by trained and qualified applicators.
The transition area for the end of the coating shall be a gradual, feathered transition from 20
mils (.5 mm) to zero (0) mils over eight inches (8″ / 203 mm) min length (no taping).
Areas of air entrapment between steel and below-grade coating shall be repaired prior to
shipment of affected pole section. Excessive areas of air entrapment shall be grounds for non-
acceptance of structure by the company.
Sufficient touch-up kits shall be shipped with structures to treat areas damaged during
unloading and installation.
 Bolts and Nuts: Yield strengths under 100,000 psi shall be hot-dip galvanized per ASTM
A153 and ASTM A143, or mechanically-coated with zinc in accordance with ASTM B696,
Class 50. Bolting materials with yield strengths in excess of 100,000 psi shall not be hot-dip gal-
vanized. Instead, they shall be painted with zinc-enriched paint or mechanically coated with
zinc per ASTM B696, Class 50.
 Compliance Coating thickness requirements shall be checked with a magnetic thickness
gauge.

13. Inspection and Testing
