Anyone know what methodology is used to design light duty light poles per AASHTO Sign & Luminary Spec? I don't want to have to buy it... Is it Broms?....if so the charts seem to now work for high eccentricty such as a light duty light pole in concrete pier? I heard that the AASHTO method results in shallower embedement than the formula in the IBC? Anyone know where the IBC formula comes from anyway?

Check out the link blow. I use Eli Czerniak's 1957 method which I think is the AASHTO way. Not sure about the IBC formula but its been around a long time.
