1 SUDAS Revision Submittal Form Status Date: As of 5/8/08 Topic: Traffic signal pole foundations in rock Manual: Specs & Design Manual ocation: Spec Figure 800.0; Design Sect E-, B,, d and Fig E-.04 Requested Revision: See attached Figure Section E- (Specifications Information), B (Part - Products), (Underground), d (Foundations) Foundation size and depths vary according to pole style, mast-arm length, and pole loadings. The SUDAS Specifications provide figures for both pedestal poles and for mast-arm poles (Figure E-.04). SUDAS standard Type A mast arm pole foundation in soil designs (Table E-.0 and Figure E-.04) are based on the following guidelines, parameters, and assumptions: Broms method for lateral resistance (moment/shear design) per AASHTO Standard Specifications for Structural Supports for Highway Signs, uminaries, and Traffic Signals, 6th Edition, 0 (AASHTO TS 6), with a safety factor of.86, which accounts for the possible under capacity of the soil strength (0.7) and the overload factor for the loadings (.0). Alpha method for torsion design per FHA NHI 0 06 Drilled Shafts: Construction Procedures and RFD Design Methods, May 00, with a safety factor of.0. Disturbed soil due to frost:.5 feet for moment/shear design, 5.0 feet for torsion design. Broms method as presented in AASHTO TS 6 includes an additional.5 diameters of foundation length to be added to the minimum foundation length required. The maximum value of.5 diameters or.5 feet shall be used when determining the disturbed soil for moment/shear design. Groundwater is present for moment/shear and torsion designs. Pole loadings as shown in Figure E.0, with poles designed per AASHTO TS 6 specifications. Basic wind speed equals 90 mph with a 50 year mean recurrence interval and gust effect factor of.4 for strength design. Use Category II for fatigue design. Apply only natural wind gust loads (i.e. do not apply galloping loads, vortex shedding loads, or truck induced gust loads) for fatigue design. Install vibration mitigation devices on all traffic signal pole mast arms over 60 feet in length as shown in the figures. Cohesive soils along the length of the foundation with an average blow count (N60) greater than or equal to 8, which equates to an average unconfined compressive strength (Qu) greater than or equal to.0 kips per square foot. Reinforced concrete design per AASHTO TS 6 specifications. For pole loading conditions greater than shown in Figure E-.0, granular soils, or lower strength soils, special foundation designs will be required. Soil boring testing should be performed prior to construction to verify soil types and strengths if non-typical soils are suspected. If rock is anticipated at the project site and the designer intends to utilize the Type C mast arm pole foundation in rock or a Type B foundation (see Figure E-.04), determine rock quality through a subsurface investigation completed by a geotechnical engineer licensed in Iowa. If rock is encountered unexpectedly, the contractor may undertake a subsurface evaluation conducted by a geotechnical engineer licensed in Iowa to determine the quality of the rocks encountered. Based on that investigation, the Engineer may approve the use of a Type B or Type C foundation in rock if requested by the contractor. Reason for Revision: Added option for placement in rock. Dual SUDAS/Iowa DOT figure/standard Road Plan.
