Design of Light and Traffic Signal Supports
Design of Light and Traffic Signal Supports
(OP)
Does anyone know a good program to analyse light poles and traffic signal supports? I'm using an old DOS program that is cumbersome. I don't want to write my own spreadsheet. And I don't want to buy and learn a new structural software system that has an add on that might or might not handle AASHTO wind load options properly. I want something simple and easy that is setup up to handle the pecularities of tapered poles.

I know this doesn't really answer your question, but it might give you the answer without the calculations.
The FDOT MathCad program is great, http://www.dot.state.fl.us/structures/proglib.shtm, but it might be too much for a 30 ft. tall light pole.
