Deflection for Concrete Prestressed Power Pole

Deflection for Concrete Prestressed Power Pole

Deflection for Concrete Prestressed Power Pole

(OP)
What is the recomended deflection for a concrete pole?  I am working with them and I don't want to make my design too expensive neither too frightening to the people looking the poles too inclined, although it's safe.

Thanks for any help.

RE: Deflection for Concrete Prestressed Power Pole

Are you talking about the tapered ones?  Are they tangent structures, or angled?  Can they be guyed?  Manufacturer?

Frequently the "lean" is calculated and the poles are installed at a batter so that they "look plumb" under working loads -
