Help needed in determing the tip load capacity of a particular pole type
[COLOR=#3E3E3E]I am trying to determine the max horizontal tip load capacity that can be rated to a pole used for overhead transmission lines.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#3E3E3E]The horizontal tip load is specified at 0mm from the tip of the pole. The tip load should be calculated with a vertical (compressive) load of self-weight + 200kg of additional weight. In addition, the pole is erected with an embedment depth of 1.5m[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#3E3E3E]All of my efforts to contact the supplier in china have been in vain as the 2[/COLOR][SUP]nd[/SUP][COLOR=#3E3E3E] party distributor hasn’t been forthcoming with the name of the supplier. The only specifications that I have been able to obtain from the distributor is as follows.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#3E3E3E]ASTM A53 Plain End Galvanized Pipe[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#3E3E3E]Outer Diameter: 114.3mm or 4”[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#3E3E3E]Thickness: 5mm[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#3E3E3E]Length: 9m[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#3E3E3E]Weight/m: 13.88 kg/m[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#3E3E3E]It is obvious that the material described above is not developed for overhead transmission pole applications but unfortunately that’s what’s being utilized.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#3E3E3E]I would appreciate it if anyone could provide some assistance in solving this problem. [/COLOR]
[COLOR=#3E3E3E]Thank you in advance.[/COLOR]
