Pole Footing Uplift
Pole Footing Uplift
(OP)
Hi, I am designing a pole footing where the dead load is not sufficient to resist the uplift created by wind. Is there a provision in the code that gives soil friction values to resist the uplift? There is no geotech involved in this project.

Typically if only a flag is attached the pole will only want to overturn, not lift out of the ground.

Is this a one-off design? Add more concrete and be done with it. That's the cheapest option.
