How to overcome the moment at the base of a footing of a lamp post
(OP)
It is stadium lamp post and the moment at the foundation level is about 5000kNm. So how to overcome the uplift force generated? Also there are anchor bolts in 20 numbers in a circular arrangement for a depth of 3000mm.

3000mm seems deep for the bolts, I would suggest the bolts be bolted to a ring plate at the bottom to reduce this requirement for depth.
Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in mud. After a while you realize that them like it
