Flagpole Footing Design Based on Chapter 18 of IBC & CBC
INPUT DATA & DESIGN SUMMARY
IS FOOTING RESTRAINED @ GRADE LEVEL ? (1=YES,0=NO) 0 no P
LATERAL FORCE @ TOP OF POLE P= 100 k
HEIGHT OF POLE ABOVE GRADE h= 62.11 ft
DIAMETER OF POLE FOOTING b= 6 ft h
LATERAL SOIL BEARING CAPACITY S= 0.2 ksf / ft
ISOLATED POLE FACTOR (IBC 09 1806.3.4) F= 2
FIRST TRIAL DEPTH ===> d = 8 ft

Use 6 ft dia x 30.55 ft deep footing unrestrained @ ground level d
