Telephone pole loading

[Mike Meehan]

Howdy all,

Any CE/ME's (or others having them) have experience with phone poles
70+ feet tall?

Wind loading capacity...

Antenna mounting considerations, both atop and along the pole...

Cement embedment typically required at base?

Other tidbits...


Application is mountain top location, no frozen soil but it is crappy:

  1000 PSF vertical, and 100 PSF lateral


Kindest Regards,
-Mike
