Flagpole Footing Design Based on Chapter 18 both IBC & UBC
INPUT DATA & DESIGN SUMMARY
IS FOOTING RESTRAINED @ GRADE LEVEL ? (1=YES,0=NO) 0 no P
LATERAL FORCE @ TOP OF POLE P= 29.843 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 1804.3.1 or UBC note 3 on Tab 18-I-A) F= 2
FIRST TRIAL DEPTH ===> D = 8 ft

Use 6 ft dia x 19.75 ft deep footing unrestrained @ ground level D
