Project Name: 297856 SF LM PH1 SC-22 April 1, 2016


For Verizon Wireless YJ

1.0 Description of the project:

Structural Calculation to perform Structural Analysis for adding antenna and m RRUS on existing
Street Lightpole.

2. Design Codes:
2.1 ANSI/TIA-222-G Standards
2.2 ASCE 7-10
2.3 ACI 318-11
2.4 California Building Code 2013

3. Design Criteria:

3.1 Wind Load:


Basic Wind Speed = 85 mph + no ice for SF County
60 mph for deflection check
(Based on ANSI/TIA-222-G ANNEX B)
Structural Classification = Class II
Exposure Category = C
Topographic Category = 1

3.2 Existing Street Lightpole:


(E) Pole: 29.2 ft Street Lightpole
(Pole Information from Standard Plan by Bureau of Engineering, dated on 4-30-2007)

3.3 Existing Light and Sings:

Elevation (ft) Antennas Coax Mount

29.0 Luminaire/Arm (1) Coax Pole


12.1 One Way Sign Pole

3.4 New Antenna and Equipments:

Elevation (ft) Antennas Coax Mount


30.5 (1) Panel Antenna and Shroud (2) Coax Pole
14.9 (1) mRRUS* Pole
12.2 (1) mRRUS* Pole
* mRRUS (16.5” x 9.8” x 5.7”, 22 lbs)

4. Results:

4.1 Existing Lightpole Analysis

The existing 29.2 ft Street Lightpole section member’s stress was calculated with the 85 mph
basic wind speed in accordance with ANSI/TIA-222-G. The result percentages are shown in the
following tables.

Elements Elevation (ft) Max. % for 85-mph


Pole 29.2 – 0 55.6
Base Plate 47.8

The member stress percentage is the ratio of the member stress to the allowable stress
expressed as a percentage. A stress ratio greater than 100% denotes an overstress.
When the basic wind speed of 85 mph is used, as shown at above table, the existing Street
Lightpole and Base Plate are adequate to support not only for existing Luminaire/Arm, signs
and cables but also for proposed antenna and equipments. For details, see the attached analysis
results.

4.2 Foundation Check

According to previous Standard Plan by Bureau of Engineering, dated on 4-30-2007, existing


footing has 2.5 ft diameter with 5.5 ft long with (12)-#4 vertical re-bars. Reactions for current analysis
are tabulated as follows:

Reactions Current Analysis


Axial (lbs) 434
Shear (lbs) 721
Moment (k-ft) 15.0

From result for checking depth of embedment to resist lateral load per 2013 CBC section 1806.3,
existing pier footing is adequate to support current reactions.

Therefore, existing concrete pier foundation for light pole is adequate to support proposed
load.

4.3 Reinforcing Port Hole by using Pipe


Proposed reinforcing for post hole by using 1½” x-Strong pipe will have more sectional strength
than original pipe section, therefore, proposed reinforcing is adequate to support proposed load.

5. Conclusions:

Based on the results from analysis for existing Street Lightpole, it is adequate to support the
proposed loads for 85 mph basic wind speed per TIA-222-G.

The installation of the proposed Personal Wireless Service facility would not compromise the
structural integrity of the Utility, Transit, or Street Light Pole and will be in compliance with any standards
imposed by the Northern California Joint Pole Association in the Operations/Routine Handbook, or the
pole owner if other than the Northern California Joint Pole Association.
The installation would comply with the California Public Utilities Commission General Order 95
and/or the National Electric Safety Code.

6. Limitations and Assumptions:

This report is based on the followings:


1. Street Lightpole is properly installed and maintained.
2. All members are as specified in the original design documents and are in good condition.
3. All required members are in place.
4. All bolts are in place and are tightly fastened.
5. Pole is in plumb condition.
6. All member protective coatings are in good condition.
7. All pole members were properly designed, detailed, fabricated, and installed, and have been
properly maintained since erection.

Byers Engineering Company is not responsible for any modifications completed prior to or hereafter
in which Byers Engineering Company. is not or was not directly involved. Modifications include but
are not limited to:

7. Disclaimer:

All engineering services are performed on the basis that the information used is current and correct. The information may
consist of, but not limited to information supplied by the client regarding the structure itself.

It is the responsibility of the client to ensure that the information provided to Byers Engineering Company is correct and
complete. Byers Engineering Company assumes that all structures were constructed in accordance with the drawings and
specifications and are in good condition and have not deteriorated, and that their capacity has not significantly changed from the “as
new” condition.

All services are performed, results obtained, and recommendations made in accordance with generally accepted engineering
principles and practices.

Due to any incorrect dimension, any incorrect member size, any incorrect material properties, or any changed information of
existing structural condition, any redesign or revision of the structural analysis will be treated as a separate contract item.

If there is a discrepancy discovered after construction has begun between the actual conditions and this report or construction
drawing, the contractor/owner/client shall notify the engineer of record for immediate remedial details.

By accepting this report, the engineer of record shall not be held liable for discrepancies not brought to the attention of the
engineer of record.
