Light pole tabs on bridges

Good day all.

We are designing semi-circular cantilever tabs to support light poles on the exterior of a bridge. Due to wind action, the light poles – and therefore these tabs – are subjected to significant moments / torsion.

Some DOTs have standard drawings for these tabs. An example from Ontario is shown below.

But we need to see some calculations, so we can understand how these standard detailing resist moments and shears. Then we can adapt / modify the standard designs as needed.

Has anyone here ever designed pole base tab like this? Could anyone kindly share any calculations, or any other standard details that might help us in designing similar members?

Thank you
