I'm going to embed a tube steel to act like a flag pole for house basement remediation. I already sized the member and I assume the bottom is fixed and top is free. Can someone help where to start so that my assumption of fixed bottom is met? How deep I need to embed it into concrete, reinforcement around the tube steel, etc. I will have about 15 kips-ft at the base and about 9 kips of shear. Thanks!

Fair enough then. Can anyone point me to references for deflection from anchor bolt stretch, footing rotation, etc..?
 
Oops, sorry I asked. Don't remember where these solutions came from. I could scan the 2 sheets, but I don't know how to post a picture.
 
as for the localized failure, are you familiar with the HSS connections manual, also see chapter K of the 13 edition, all the tube and box member connection info is now there. maybe not exactly what you need, but it's a good start.
 
Local buckling is in the AISC manual. Chapter B for element slenderness criteria, chapter E for compression member design.
