Slide 3: General Layout
General Layout You find the following information in each set of documents: - Subject - Code / Criteria - Design Summary - Pole - Arms* - Connection Data* - Luminaire* - EPA and Loading - Results Summary - Analysis - Deflection * If applicable 3 © 2016 Valmont Industries, Inc. All rights reserved.
Slide 4: Page Layout by Code
Page Layout by Code Each set of calculations may be organized differently depending on what code is used. All calculations will have the same information, but may be found on different pages of the document. Different layouts include: - AASHTO 1994* - AASHTO 2001 - AASHTO 2009 - AASHTO 2013* - AASHT
Slide 5: Subject
Subject The subject is a summary of the pole design and contains summary of pertinent information, or design designation. Additional Subjects may look like: 5 © 2016 Valmont Industries, Inc. All rights reserved.
Slide 6: Code or Criteria
Code or Criteria The criteria will be specifically stated on the first page of the calculations document. This information may also on additional pages. 6 © 2016 Valmont Industries, Inc. All rights reserved.
Slide 7: Design Summary
Design Summary This page shows the summary description of the pole, base plate, anchor bolts, mast arm, and luminaire arm, 7 © 2016 Valmont Industries, Inc. All rights reserved.
Slide 8: EPA Loading
EPA Loading This page shows the description of the EPA loading on both the pole and arm. EPA loading can come from cameras, fixtures, etc… 8 © 2016 Valmont Industries, Inc. All rights reserved.
Slide 9: Loading
Loading This description of signal loading on mast arm and pole. Including EPA, weight, and location. 9 © 2016 Valmont Industries, Inc. All rights reserved.
Slide 10: Results Summary
Results Summary • This is a description of the pole base reaction. This includes base movement, torsion, shear and axial load. • This information is used for designing foundations. • Pole dead weight deflection • On the left side shows the combined stress ratio (CSR) for all components of the design
Slide 11: Analysis
Analysis The rest of the pages of the calculations show the detailed information behind the summary results. Information includes stresses at different locations, deflection, simplex, etc… 11 © 2016 Valmont Industries, Inc. All rights reserved.
Slide 12: Deflection
Deflection To the right is pole deflection information. In many cases deflection limit is not specified. It may become pertinent for CCTV or camera pole designs where the customer wants to limit deflection to a certain percentage. 12 © 2016 Valmont Industries, Inc. All rights reserved.
