Flagpole Foundation Details
Flagpole Foundation Details
(OP)
We have been asked to design a foundation for a high flagpole for a Court House. We can handle the foundation design but does anyone know of standard details for inserting the pole into the foundation? The Fabricator is showing inserting hte aluminum pole into a steel sleeve. Steel and aluminum should not touch.

You still have the surrounding concrete to resist the bearing of the pole.

you can search this web site for flagpoles because the question has come up before. The weight of the flag and the effect of the wind on the flag can be tricky.
The National Association of Architectural Metal Manufactures web site has some info:

I used a drilled pier with a corrugated steel sleeve that was larger than the flagpole. The space between the pole and the sleeve will be filled with compacted sand. There is a typical detail in the NAAMM design guide.
