Yes you are right. It is an electrical distribution concrete pole with total height of 14.5m and tip force of 2500 kg.
As per usual role of thumb method for utility poles the total embedment length will be ( d = 0.1L+0.61m = 2.06m) and the required length as per IBC equations is 2.9m...
Atrizzy,
Actually my question is that whether IBC equations 18-1 thru 18-3 considers the overturning or not based on lateral pressure of soil and embedment length? IBC doesn't explicitly requires the overturning moment to be checked in anywhere in Chap. 18.
I am designing a directly embedded pole foundation for a concrete pole.There is no other data except the pole tip force which has been given by pole manufacturer, and applying this tip force give a very large overturning moment which the typical embedment length of pole is not adequate. In IBC...
