SIGN DESIGN MOMENT ARM
SIGN DESIGN MOMENT ARM
(OP)
I am designing a sign foundation with a standard buried rectangular concrete foundation.
Moment Arm (Overturning)
The wind load moment arm is applied from the center of the sign to where..... the top of the concrete foundation or the bottom of the foundation, or is it the center of the foundation? I just can't remember.
The moment resisting. I am calculating concrete weight x
1/2 the width of the concrete foundation, and looking for 2 to 1 factor of safety.
This assumes the soil plays no part in resisting overturning. Is there a way to consider soil also?

Maybe the point is that it is useless when it is saturated.
