Flagpole

The document provides the design calculations for a flagpole footing based on input parameters such as the lateral force and height of the pole, soil properties, and whether the footing is restrained at grade level. After an initial trial depth of 8 feet, iterative calculations are shown to determine the required depth of the footing to resist the lateral forces based on the soil bearing values at 1/3 and full depth. The results determine the required footing depth is 30.55 feet for an unrestrained 6 foot diameter footing.
