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.
