Lightpole Base Plates
Lightpole Base Plates
(OP)
On typ. lightpole base plates in parking lots, there is an
approx. 1/8" wide slot from the bolt hole to the edge of the
pl.
Say (4) bolts(on the diag.)...this slot runs from bolt hole to to the corner edge. Seems to defy engineering logic.
Does anyone know the purpose of these slots?.
The only reason I can think of is that it creates more
flexibility in the base pl. and thereby dissrupts any
wind-induced oscillation of the lightpole.
Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks
