NOTES: 1. The purpose of these charts is for the use of inspectors to check a
simple design for pole signs. Design is for "one-pole" and "two-pole" signs
with drilled caisson type foundation with the pipe extending down to the
bottom of the foundation. Anything else to be designed by a qualified
engineer licensed in the State of Colorado.
2. These charts are based upon a design of 80 MPH Basic Wind Speed,
Exposure "C", Importance Factor 1.0 (2009 IBC)
3. Pipes are assumed to be Schedule 40 or Standard Schedule, A36 Steel.
4. Foundations are assumed to be 2000 PSI minimum concrete strength.
5. This chart allows for a minimum clearance between the pole and the
soil of 2" for 2" pipe of 2" and other 3".
6. Foundation is conservatively designed so soil strength to exceed the yield strength
of the pipe.
7. Excavation for foundation shall be in undisturbed native soil.
