High Mast Light Base Plate Design

High Mast Light Base Plate Design

High Mast Light Base Plate Design

(OP)
I have a 60 ft HML light we are installing and have been asked to check size, depth, and number of bolts required.  I have all the forces, moments, and stresses provided.  The base plate is circular.  I have already checked many threads but do not have excess to many of the references recommended.  My most currenct ACI 318 manual is 1999 and I have AISC LRFD manual second edition.  What I am mostly confused about is eccentricity.  If anyone can provide a good basic example or know of where I can obtain material for a clear understanding of designing for the base plate and then anchor bolt size I would greatly appreciate it.

RE: High Mast Light Base Plate Design

I suggest "Design of Welded Structures", by Omer Blodgett.

RE: High Mast Light Base Plate Design

Also look at AISC Design Guide #1, "Column Base Plates"
