Proposals
It is proposed to fix a 3m lighting column to two different types of precast kentledge blocks. To the top of these lighting
columns will be attached a luminaire and solar panel. These calculations are to determine the maximum horizontal wind
load for each of the kentledge blocks.

The two blocks to be considered are KM1000 and KM500 as detailed below by Elite Precast.

The lighting column is to be a BE Lighting column 3TG/FP which is a 140 dia tube with a self-weight of 29kg. To the top of
the column will be fixed a luminare 725 x 120 x 75 which weighs 3.6kg and a solar panel which is 1105 x 360 x 60 and
weighs 12kg.

Assume that the total area of the solar panel and luminare attract full wind load and the wind load on the column itself is
negligible. Ground bearing pressure is limited to 75 kN/m².;

Therefore the maximum horizontal uniformly distributed load at the top of the column will be 1.615 kN/m²

Basic Wind Velocity BS EN1991-1-4

Fw = cscd cf qb(ze) Aref = 0.775 kN; 0.775 = 1 x 1.8 x qb (ze) x 0.48; Therefore qb (ze) = 896 N/m² qb = 0.613 vb2
