The first Report was drafted in 1976 by separate panels working on each section and much of the original work is still current and relevant and was retained in later revisions. In 1984 a small structural panel was formed to review Section 2 on mast design and to produce a new version with additional explanation. The second edition in 1996 followed a total review prior to reprinting to allow for changes in the current standards and documentation, and to take account of further experience by minor revision. This 2000 edition includes CCTV aspects for the first time and updates the wind Joading design to current standards. ‘The opportunity was taken to include other minor design details for doors and flanges.

Institution of Lighting Engineers 15 High Masts for Lighting and CCTV 16 Institution of Lighting Engineers High Masts for Lighting and CCTV SECTION 2 - DESIGN OF MAST STRUCTURE AND FOUNDATION 24 SCOPE This Section covers the design of a high mast (including foundation) with a mast height equal to or greater than 10 metres but not more than 60 metres. The mast height (h) is defined as the vertical distance between the base flange and the top of the head frame assembly. 2.2 METHOD OF DESIGN ‘Masts shall be designed using limit state principles. The limit states to be considered are: a) Ultimate db) Serviceability based on a design wind speed with a return period of 25 years. Confirmed practical test data and experimental wind tunnel data may be used in place of coefficients given in this Specification, The loads set out in the Specification are characteristic loads. Each of the characteristic loads shall be multiplied by the appropriate value of a safety factor for loads (¥) to arrive at the design load to be used in the calculation of moments, shears, total forces or other effects for each of the limit states under consideration. Similarly, the characteristic strength of the materials used in the construction shall be divided by the appropriate value of the safety factor for materials (Y,) to arrive at the design strength to be used in calculations. 23 LIMIT STATE REQUIREMENTS 2.3.1 Ultimate Limit State ‘The strength of the structure shall be sufficient to withstand the design loads. The strength of the structure may, for steels complying with BS EN 10025: 1993, “Hot rolled products of non-alloy structural steels. Technical delivery conditions” be assessed using the plastic moment of resistance provided the moment due to the design loads are equal to or less than the moment capacity M" as determined in Clause 24. Particular attention must be paid to the nature and design of the door opening (Clause 2.7.3), Institution of Lighting Engineers "7 High Masts for Lighting and CCTV Current practice and experience indicates that vibration and fatigue need not be considered as design criteria where the natural frequency of oscillation in the fundamental mode does not exceed 1 Hz. 23.2 Serviceability Limit States 2.3.2.1 General ‘The deflection and the vibration of the structure shall not exceed any limits specified by the Purchaser. 23.2.2. Lighting Masts The limits for deflection for lighting masts may be specified at a wind speed lower than the design wind speed. It is not generally necessary to specify limits for vibration for lighting masts. For example, where deflection is considered critical it may be limited to 1/40 of the mast height at 2/3 of the design wind speed. 2.3.2.3. CCTV Masts For CCTV applications the mast stiffness shall be such that with loads arising from a gust wind profile, with a wind speed of 22m/sec at 10m above ground level, the torsional rotation at the top of the mast shall not exceed 25 minutes of arc (0.0073 radians) and the linear deflection at the top of the pole shall not exceed 150mm. 2.4 SAFETY FACTORS FOR LOADS ‘The design loads shall be the characteristic loads multiplied by the safety factors for loads (4) given in the following table. The safety factor (y) is a combined factor to allow for wind load and structural variations. Serviceability | _ Ultimate Limit States_|_Limit State Dead Load’ 10 1.0 Wind Load 1.0 1.25 For masts of circular or regular polygonal cross section with 16 or more sides and where the Dit ratio does not exceed 200, the moment capacity of the section (M") may be calculated as follows: Note: For N < 16 guidance is given in BS 5649: Part 7: 1985, “Lighting columns.

For holding down bolts, the characteristic strength in tension shall be the 0.2% proof stress and for shear (0.2% proof stress)/V3. 2.6 WIND LOADING 2.6.1 General The basis for the structural design of high masts shall be the peak response of the structure to an appropriate wind speed, which has a retumn period of 25 years at the site where they will be used. Institution of Lighting Engineers 19 High Masts for Lighting and CCTV ‘The peak response is derived from the peak equivalent static pressure which is @ function of firstly, the actual wind speed at the site, and secondly, the apparent magnification of the wind pressure which depends on the natural frequency of oscillation of the mast, the mast height and the amount of damping present. 2.6.2 Wind Speeds 2.6.2.1 Basis for Calculating Wind Speeds ‘The design wind speed and the hourly mean wind speed shall be obtained using BS 6399; Part 2: Clause 3.2: Directional wind spceds, using the following procedure: When calculating the site wind speed, Vs using equation (8) of BS 6399: Part 2, the following assumptions shall be made: = the direction factor, Sy shall be taken as 1.05 ~ the seasonal factor, S, shall be taken as 1.0, the probability factor, Sp shall be taken as 0.96 for a 25 year return period. [If other return periods are specified, BS 6399: Part 2 equation D1 shall be used. Note that the annual risk of the basic wind speed being exceeded, Q = 1/(return period). Thus Q = 0.04 for a 25 year return period). 2.6.2.2 Design Wind Speed ‘The design wind speed at effective height, He shall be taken as the effective wind speed, V- obtained using BS 6399: Part 2: Clause 3.2.3. The effective height H, shall be taken as the height in metres above ground level of the centre of the area of the section under consideration. (Note that this definition of H. is conservative for sites in town terrain, The procedure in BS 6399: Part 2: Clause 1.7.3.3 may be used if a more accurate value is required.) ‘The gust peak factor, gy, shall be taken as 3.44. NOTE: The size reduction factor 6, given in Figure 2, takes account of the size of the ‘mast in relation to gust dimensions. 2.6.2.3 Hourly Mean Wind Speed “The mean hourly wind speed V at effective height H. shall be calculated using the direction method given in BS 6399: Part 2: Clause 3.2, taking the gust peak factor = 0.0 (Le. no gust allowance). ‘Thus in BS 6399: Part 2, Clause 3.2.3.2.2 equation (28) for sites in country terrain becomes: Sp=S.(1 +8) 20. Institution of Lighting Engineers High Masts for Lighting and CCTV and equation (29) for sites in town terrain becomes: Sp=ScTe (1+ Sy) ‘The terms S,, T. and S} are defined in BS 6399; Part 2, Clause 3.2.3.2. 2.6.3 Reference Pressure The reference pressure, que (Nim?) at any height H., shall be derived from the equation: que= 0.6132 Where V, is the design wind speed calculated in accordance with Clause 2.6.2.2. 2.6.4 Peak Equivalent Static Pressure 2.6.4.1 General The reference pressure at any height H shall be multiplied by the response factor B and the size reduction factor 6 to obtain the peak equivalent static pressure, Eyy, in Nim’, Egn= Boque (See Clause 2.12.2 for explanatory notes on the deviation of the B and 6 factors). 2.6.4.2 Size Reduction Factor, The size reduction factor 6 is a function of the mast height and shall be selected from Figure 2. 2.6.4.3 Response Factor, B ‘The response factor fi depends on the natural frequency, ng.(Hz) and the total damping of the mast at the hourly mean wind speed at a height of 10m above ground level, Vig » The value of the response factor, B shall be selected from the curves given in Figure 1. Values of response factor for intermediate values of logarithmic decrement of damping may be obtained by linear interpolation between the curves. Unless evidence can be produced to justify the use of higher values, the logarithmic decrement of the damping shall be assumed to be 0.1. If agreed with the Purchaser, the method of assessing damping given in Appendix A may be used.
