3 DESIGN CALCULATIONS
3.1 Introduction
After the evaluation of the working loads presented in Section 1.7, the reinforced concrete footing is
modelled in Prokon to check for strength and stability.
3.2 Design of footing
One reinforced concrete footing will be used to support the steel structure of light pole HMA 9251. The
forces considered at the top of the pedestal are the supports reactions in SLS (provided by the vendor). The
footing has been designed in Prokon.
The summary of the footing design for HMA 9251 is as follows:
Footing size : 2500 mm x 2500 mm x 1000 mm,

Footing reinforcement
- Top reinforcement : T20 - 300 (both ways),
- Bottom reinforcement : T20 - 300 (both ways).
Pedestal size : 1200 mm x 1200 mm x 1000 mm,

Pedestal reinforcement
- Vertical reinforcement : 24 T20,
- Horizontal reinforcement : T12 - 100.

Wind loading for a Duodecagon (20 sided) High Mast is in accordance with the ILE Technical Report Number 7, based on BS
CP3 Chapter V Part 2. In this Standard the Basic Wind Speed is the 3 second gust speed estimated to be exceeded only once in
50 years. The force coefficient Cf for a 20 sided polygon section with rounded corners from De Havilland wind tunnel
investigations has been found to be a worst case of 0.6 when "point into wind". Mean hourly wind speed factor is given in
Appendix A , Paragraph A1 for each Category.
Head Area Sq.M. : 3.37 Basic Wind Speed : 45 m/sec.
Wind Factors S1 : 1.00 Topography Factor.

S2 : 2A Category , based on Table 3. Hourly Factor : 1.70
S3 : 0.95 Statistical Probability Factor.
1
Mean Hourly Wind Speed = Basic Wind Speed / Hourly Factor = 26.5
From tests the Log Decrement is 0.20 and the Nf in hertz is 0.31 (see below)
Hence (Natural Frequency) / (Mean Hourly Wind Speed) = 0.012
From the graph in Technical Report No 7, the Beta Factor = 1.40
The Delta Factor is obtained from 1 - 0.006(Mast Height - 3) = 0.87
Hence the Magnification Factor, the product of Delta & Beta = 1.21
Foundation Studs.

Natural Frequency Calculation.

The Natural Frequency is derived from the formula given in the Netherlands Standard NEN 3850 TGB 1972., and is
equal to : Squareroot of (0.25 / Tip Deflection ) . The tip deflection is calculated under self weight assuming an
Elastic Modulus of 210 kN./sq.mm.
