Round Wood Pole - Combined Stress
Sig, Thanks for the thought, although I have already accounted for that. The pole is ~48' tall, and the largest unbraced length is 29'-6". The end goal for me is to modify the pole so that it passes the structural checks. I am thinking of adding additional guy cables to create more bracing...- JM743405

It is actually guyed with 6 different guy cables which results in the high axial loads. -JM- JM743405

Koot, I noticed that when I reduce the unbraced length, the calculations work out, so I don't think there is an issue with the calculations. I had a feeling it was the that we are exceeding the buckling stress, but wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Like they say, you don't know...- JM743405

Round Wood Pole - Combined Stress

I am working on a round wood pole (Distribution/Telephone Pole) and have been asked by the client to analyze it per the 2012 NDS. In section 3.9.2 there is guidance on how to analyze the combined stresses...- JM743405
