It has been far too long since my college days, and I have a new design issue that perhaps is an easy one.
I am analyzing feasbility of placing new lighting fixtures on existing poles. The new fixtures will have a larger effective projected area, of 12.2 (including the brackets).
These will be mounted about 22 feet up, on a 8" tapered steel pole (which has been reduced from its original 30 feet).
This is in Hawaii, wind design is 80MPH plus 1.3 gust factor.
Is it feasible to convert the EPA and windspeed into a lateral force? If so, how.
I guess the next step would be calculation of an overturning moment, and pullout force on existing anchor bolts.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
