Problem Statement
Peshawar Development Authority (PDA) has planned to install a high pole light of 60 feet at Jahaz
Chowk Phase-II, Peshawar, as shown in Figure 1. The structural design of the high pole has been
conducted by a private consultant. The total cost of the high pole light is given in Table 1. The
schematic layout of the high pole light is shown in Figure 2 and the foundation details are shown in
Figure 3. The cross-section of the pole varies along the height of the pole, consisting of 4 types of
tubular sections of different dimensions, as detailed in Table 2. Steel is used as structural material with
modulus of elastic of 29000 ksi. A circular ring with 12 LED street light is to be installed at the top of
pole. The total weight of the ring and the street lights is 1200 lb. The density of the steel is 0.29 lb/in3.
Prior to the installation of the high light pole, Peshawar Development Authority wants to ensure the
that the structural design is safe against possible seismic and wind loading. In this regard, you are
required to model the dynamic response of this structure and check its safety against building code of
Pakistan. You are required to perform the following studies:

I. Considering the given structural details, idealize the structure (SDOF or MDOF) and compute
the important dynamic properties such as natural frequency and time period. Assume damping
ratio pf 5%.

II. Due to the seismic nature of the site, it is possible for the structure to experience an earthquake
during its life-span. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the lateral forces on the structure.
Geotechnical tests showed a stiff soil profile at the location of the structure. Use the Static
Equivalent Lateral Force procedure and determine total base shear, bending moment and
maximum stress at the base of the structure. (Follow Building code of Pakistan)

III. For the safe design of the structure, the designer needs to know about the maximum lateral
deflection due to the lateral forces (including self-weight), maximum shear force and bending
moment. Perform the analysis of the structure in ETAB/SAP2000 and compute the maximum
lateral deflection in the pole during a seismic even. Also check the lateral deflection against
allowable limit on lateral deflection as per Building code of Pakistan.

IV. The high light pole can also experience wind loading during its life span. Therefore, to ensure
safe design, perform wind load analysis in ETAB/SAP2000 and compute lateral deflection due
to wind. Use ASCE 7-16 Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and
Other Structures. (you can use ASCE 7-16, or 7-14, whichever is available in your installed
ETAB/SAP2000)
