POLE EMBEDMENT DESIGN

Adversely affected by a 1/2 inch

Allowable Lateral Pressure 600 psf / ft motion at the ground surface
Allowable Foundation Pressure = 1500 psf N [Y or N]
Maximum Lateral Pressure = 9000 psf

Pole Shape = S Circular [C] or Square [S]

Width = 31.50 in
Lateral Restraint N [Y or N]

Lateral Force = 2000 pounds

Vertical Load = 1000 pounds
Height to Load = 8.50 ft
Moment at Base = 17000 ft-pounds
Allowable Lateral
Trial Depth= 3.41 ft Pressure = 1364 psf
Depth Required= 3.42 ft
Embedment Depth Required = 3.42 ft

Foundation Pressure = 145 psf <= 1500 psf (OK)
