Minimum edge of circular concrete base with precast concrete pole

[gasma1975]

I have designed a circular concrete base foundation and I have inserted a concrete pole mast. But the workers missed the job and the pole mast is not in the center of the base. How do you verify the minimum edge distance ? The base is 3 feet diam. and the pole mast is 10'' dia. The minimum edge is only 4 inch.

How do you confirm if its ok or not ?

My initial reaction is to say that it's not even close to anything like reasonable tolerances. Start over. The contractor wouldn't take responsibility for a design error if you made one. Don't take responsibility for his construction error.

By performing a calculation.. or you may prefer to provide more info. and get better responds ( embedment depth, soil type , a sketch showing the ftg and position of post, design load etc..)

I will suggest you to look also ,

How did you originally design the circular base? What was your intent as to how the internal forces from the post were to be distributed to the concrete foundation?
