Pole Base® is a wholly owned subsidiary of Redi-Rock International. Important Notice The design specifications for Pole BaseTM units suggest earth embedment depths with certain assumed conditions. The earth embedments were calculated using the assumed material properties and loading conditions described in the Design Resource Manual. These will vary from location to location depending upon the soil properties and terrain. Since soil conditions and topography vary greatly from site to site, a detailed engineering analysis must be performed for each Pole BaseTM installation. Because Pole BaseTM does not manufacture nor install these units, it does not assume any responsibility regarding structural suitability of its products for any particular project. In addition, Pole BaseTM assumes no responsibility in connection with any injury, death, or property damage claim whatsoever whether asserted against a Leasee, Leasor, Purchaser or others, arising out of or attributable to the operation of or produced with Pole BaseTM equipment.

Pole BaseTM –Foundation Design Guide Analysis Methods: •This Guide was prepared for preliminary estimating and conceptual purposes only. All information is believed to be true and accurate;however,Pole BaseTM assumes no responsibility for the use of this design guide for actual construction. Determination of the suitability of each chart is the sole responsibility of the user. Final designs for construction purposes must be performed by a licensed Professional Engineer, using the actual conditions of the site. •The foundation design guide for embedment of the round concrete poles is based upon the provisions described in the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)publication:Standard Specifications for Structural Supports for Highway Signs, Luminaries, and Traffic Signals, 6th Edition, 2013 (LTS-6), Washington, DC. Wind Loading Assumptions: •The wind loading on the fixtures, poles, and bases is based upon Section 3.8 –Wind Load •The Basic Wind Speed Section 3.8.2. Assumed wind speed 90 mph (40 m/s). •The following factors and assumptions were used in the creation of the guide. These factors will need to be analyzed and verified by the Licensed Professional Engineer of the project: •Wind Importance Factor, Ir = 1.00 (Section 3.8.3) •Velocity Conversion Factor, Cv = 1.00 (Table 3.8.3-3) •Height and Exposure Factor, Pole & Fixture Kz = 1.00; Base Kz = 0.86 (Section 3.8.4) •Gust Effect Factor, G=1.14 (Section 3.8.5) •Drad Coefficients, Cd: (Table 3.8.6-1) •Light Fixture, Cd=1.2 •Light Pole, 6” square, Cd=1.875; 6” round, Cd= 0.915 •Pole Base (40” tall), 24” square, Cd=1.75; 24” round, Cd= 0.45 Foundation Design Assumptions: •The formulas for the earth embedment depth are based upon Section 13: Foundation Design. •The following factors and assumptions were used in the creation of the guide. These factors will need to be analyzed and verified by the Licensed Professional Engineer of the project: •Dense backfill around the base:2000 psi concrete, Well compacted clean sand, or (CLSM). •Minimum earth embedment of Pole BaseTM units is at least: the calculated value, 3’-0” (0.9 m), or the depth of local frost penetration. •Overload Factor = 2.5; Undercapacity Factor = 0.7 (Section C13.6.1.1) •Embedment Length in Granular Soil, Equation (C13.6.1.1-3) •Embedment Length in Cohesive Soil, Equation (C13.6.1.1-7) Revised: 3 September 2014 © 2014 Redi-Rock International, L.L.C.
