h/t for a pole
h/t for a pole
(OP)
Guys,
I need some help with understanding and using h/t ratio for calulating stresses.
On another thread I had learned that h/t for pole refers to diameter to wall thickness. I tried to understand the following pole drawing calculation.
Pole drawing :

There are 2 segments of pole :
Dia 8 x 0.25" wall x 4ft---------------shouldn't h/t be 8/0.25 = 32
Dia 5 x 0.25"wall x 14ft---------------shouldn't h/t be 5/0.25 = 20
One of the PE calcs on file shows this differently


What am I missing something?
Thanks,
GC

RE: h/t for a pole
so...(8x2/3x2)/0.25 = 42.67
(5x2/3x2)/0.25 = 26.67 ??...does not match the output shown...
I have not checked this with the latest and greatest AISC code...
