Flagpole supports
Flagpole supports
(OP)
A state legilature wants us to place a flagpole in the center of a roundabout. Since it will be in an intersection, we are considering giving it a breakaway base.
Could we bolt a flagpole to a standard light pole frangible base? How much wind load moment can they take? If not, does anyone have any other ideas?

Calculate the overturning moment and start your design.
Earthquake forces must also be considered in places of high seismic activity.

Maybe you can get the state legislator to seal the design.
