RE: Utility Pole Foundation
What type of foundation are you designing? I'm assuming you have a drilled pier. I've always designed those using IBC Section 1805.7. This section has a fairly simple procedure that checks the soil pressures against fairly conservative assumed values. Then you just design the reinforced concrete pier for the combination of moment and axial load. Drilled piers are pretty simple to design under normal soil conditions and loading.
