![]() Is there a way I can calculate this stuff myself to save them some money? I've heard FEA is rather expensive, and this is taking quite a while to get the results as well. I am assuming they use finite element analysis, which I am unfamiliar with at the moment. ![]() We (SAIC) apparently send out the pole dimensions and loading to a third party to calculate the forces at the base and design the specific amount of bolts, their diameters, and the loading on each one. I am working on the standard anchor bolt design. all types that use bolts have circular bolt patterns. there are 4 foundation/pole types, standard anchor bolt, direct embed, stub up, and slip fit. The PE I work under asked me to create a spread sheet for designing the foundations for our projects which are 30-50' steel speaker poles subjected to 100-140 mph winds. I am an civil engineering intern for SAIC in MD.
